Advanced Myofascial Induction Therapy
MIT is a method created by Andrzej Pilat in Spain and it is one of the most advanced and world leading method about fascial release.
Myofascial Therapy, in general, is the group of techniques of assessment and treatment which targets the fascia, the network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. By releasing restrictions in the fascia, this technique restores mobility, alleviates pain, and enhances overall well-being.
MIT is a process of assessment and treatment procedures in which the therapist, acting as facilitator, transfers a slight force (traction and/or compression) to induce a “reset” of the fascial system where the connective tissue cells will start to dissolve the old collagen fibres and rebuild new ones with a more functional alignment. This evidence-based process is documented to reshape the quality of the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue to optimise internal drainage and nourishment, blood flow and mobility, flexibility and strength which the patient can immediately feel after each single application.
