Pelvic Release involves relaxing the fascia (connective tissue) in the pelvis.
The condition of the body’s fascia is influenced by the nervous system, among other factors. Chronic stress (including trauma) triggers sympathetic fight-or-flight responses that lead to chronic muscle tension and tight, stiff fascia. Because the pelvis is closely linked to feelings of safety and vulnerability, the fascia in the pelvis is particularly affected.
Other influences include physical shock, scarring, and lifestyle.
Tense fascia can lead to pain and numbness.
