What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?

The Myofascial Release Therapy is a very light, easy massage technique used to release ‘stuck’ places in the muscles. Myofascial Release Therapy has been used successfully for over a hundred years to treat pain and restriction of motion.

Myofascia is a connective tissue surrounding and protecting muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments. It resembles a spider web wrapping the body from the top to the toes. Normally fascia is very flexible, relaxed, and soft; it can stretch and move without restriction. Physical traumas or inflammation make fascia tight and less flexible which eventually leads to pain and restriction of motion.

During a Myofascial Release session a massage therapist applies gentle pressure onto the fascial connective tissue restrictions to relieve pain and restore motion. The sustained pressure allows the fascia to elongate and restore to its normal length.

How Myofascial Release Therapy Can Help You?

Myofascia damaged after trauma, injury or inflammation can cause a number of problems such chronic pain in the back, the shoulders, and the neck; headaches, muscle pain and spasms. Some patients accept Myofascial Release Therapy to improve posture, increase flexibility, and restore restricted motion in any part of the body.
