Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release is a method that focuses on the connective tissue surrounding and supporting the body's muscles. It includes the application of fascial stretching and holding to release fascia that has become dehydrated, stuck, or immobile due to lifestyle or accidents. 

• Pain Relief: It is particularly effective at alleviating chronic pain, including conditions like fibromyalgia, back pain, and TMJ, by releasing pressure on pain-sensitive structures and relieving muscle knots, or "trigger points."
• Improved Mobility and Flexibility: By stretching and loosening the fascia, myofascial release can restore natural movement and increase the range of motion in joints and muscles.
• Enhanced Circulation: The therapy improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which helps deliver nutrients to tissues and remove metabolic waste.
• Stress Reduction: The gentle, sustained pressure and focus on releasing tension can have a profound calming effect on the nervous system, leading to overall relaxation and stress reduction.
• Improved Posture: Myofascial release can help correct imbalances and realign the body, which, in turn, can improve posture.
• Injury Prevention and Recovery: For athletes and active individuals, it can help prevent injuries by maintaining healthy, flexible fascia and can also aid in a quicker recovery from muscle strain or injury.

Lubricant is rarely used in myofascial release therapy because stretching the fascia requires traction at the restrictive depth level.
