What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release Therapy: Relieving Chronic Pain and Restoring Mobility

Myofascial release therapy is a technique that focuses on relieving pain in your myofascial tissues.

How Myofascial Release Therapy Works

The fascia is a continuous web of thick connective tissue that holds everything in place. When this web is restricted, it can cause a ripple effect throughout the body, resulting in discomfort in areas far from the source of the restriction. Myofascial Release Therapy aims to target these restrictions by applying pressure for several minutes at a time, allowing the tissue to soften and elongate naturally. Unlike other therapies that focus on short, forceful manipulations, MFR is a slow and sustained technique that respects the body’s natural healing processes.
