What Is Myofascial Release?
Categorized as a soft tissue therapy, myofascial release is ideal for treatment of muscle immobility and chronic pain and offers relief from muscle tightness while simultaneously addressing a range of concerns that include:
When Is Myofascial Release Required?
Restriction of the connective tissue surrounding muscle may cause soreness and discomfort, this pain may become chronic if left unaddressed. Fascia tightness can be traced to overuse, or an inactive lifestyle and trauma or injury in a particular area can lead to myofascial dysfunctions that limit joint range of motion and muscle restrictions and nerve tension. The result is often chronic pain and reduced physical performance. Healthfx Physiotherapy licensed physical therapists offer personalized assessments to determine whether myofascial release is the right physiotherapy treatment for you.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Healthfx Physiotherapy practitioners apply myofascial therapy techniques that allow connective tissues to loosen and become increasingly flexible. Our physical therapists offer orthopedic care and advanced methods to stretch and release adhesions and condition your body to release natural endorphins. Although myofascial release techniques are gentle, they have a significant and profound effect on the body’s tissues that can offer lasting relief and a range of benefits.
