★ Includes 25 simple myofascial release exercises to help alleviate pain.
★ Emphasizes the connection between emotions, trauma experiences, and pain, offering a holistic mind-body therapy approach. This book, from a holistic medical perspective, clearly and simply explains the causes of chronic pain and highlights the importance of fascia as the body's main connective tissue. It empowers you to take control of your recovery, effectively freeing yourself from pain and reclaiming a healthy life.
•What is Fascia Fascia is the body's primary connective tissue that interconnects all substances within the body. It surrounds organs such as the heart, blood vessels, nerves, and muscles of the limbs. Fascia gathers every cell and fiber of these organs, creating connections with neighboring structures. Through this extensive network, fascia integrates all aspects of the human body together. It plays a crucial role in the development of chronic pain.
• Why Modern Medicine Cannot Improve Pain? Author Amanda Oswald, a professional myofascial release therapist, was once an office worker suffering from chronic pain due to prolonged sitting. She discovered the path of myofascial release therapy after receiving professional training.
Amanda found that conventional medical treatments like surgery often fail to effectively alleviate pain, leaving patients in significant discomfort. In reality, most pain is related to tense fascia, which can develop into trigger points. Pressing these trigger points can not only cause pain and other symptoms directly at the site but can also lead to referred pain and symptoms in other parts of the body. For example, lower back pain may be triggered by a trigger point in the psoas muscle.This is why simply treating the site of pain ("treating the headache for headaches and treating the feet for foot pain") doesn't always resolve the issue.
Only by relaxing tense fascia can pain be effectively alleviated!

Author's Preface
Preface ／Escaping Chronic Pain Begins with Understanding Fascia
Millions of people suffer from chronic pain, yet for many of them, this pain cannot be alleviated through modern medical treatments.
In today's culture that favors pharmaceuticals and surgery, the holistic approach to health, which once considered both body and mind, has been largely abandoned. The role of fascia, the body's primary connective tissue, has also been overlooked.
