This technique of stretching the fascia, directly or indirectly, allows the connective tissue fibers to reorganize and releases bonds between fascia, integument, muscles, and bones.  It is mainly applied with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion, and balancing the body.  Myofascial Release Therapy utilizes soft tissue manipulation techniques (connective tissue massage, soft tissue mobilization, Rolfing, Strain-counter-strain, etc).  Alexis is trained to manipulate and distinguish how much pressure and movement to use, the direction of the stretch, and the duration of the stretch, incorporating feedback given by the physical and verbal responses of the client.

This technique aims at solving the problems related to body structure.  Approach taken by NISA is gentle as compared to that of SOMA body work.  NISA effects fascia – a web like sheets that underlies the skin and wraps the bones and body organs. Fascia is interconnected throughout the body.  In an ideal, healthy, well aligned body the fascia is soft and elastic but as the life progresses body is susceptible to poor posture, physical or emotional trauma and various diseases, as a result of all these fascia contracts, the layers adhere and become congested.  NISA solves all these problems by separating and stretching it.  NISA helps in releasing the fascia, thereby improving posture, joint function and general body alignment and also relieves chronic pain.
