Myofascial Release Therapy

About Myofascial Relief Therapy

Myofascial release is a safe and highly effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to myofascial connective tissue restrictions, aiming to alleviate pain and restore motion. These restrictions often stem from trauma, inflammatory responses, or surgical procedures. They can exert significant tensile pressures on pain-sensitive structures but are sometimes undetectable by standard tests such as X-rays or CAT scans.

Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self-treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.

Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on the skin without oils, creams, or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
