She studied myofascial release with John Branes and uses this powerful technique to treat chronic pain conditions including sports injuries, neck and back pain, concussions and migraines as well as just for enhancing optimal health. She is one of the creators of Myofascial Freedom, a practice in Morristown, NJ.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whereas many traditional approaches to treating pain act as band-aids and only treat symptoms, Sue Ellen is able to  identify and treat the cause of pain and dysfunction in the body through an in-depth analysis of the body’s myofascia. In today’s interview, Sue Ellen explains the important fascial system that is so often overlooked and how we can all benefit from myofascial release.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She even talks about an easy technique you can do to release the psoas – a muscle responsible for a lot of back pain and tightness. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.myofascialfreedom.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sue Ellen’s website!
