What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release is a specialized treatment that involves the application of gentle to moderate pressure on the connective tissues, leading to relaxation and eventual elongation of the fascia. The fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs throughout your body. When this tissue becomes restricted due to trauma, inflammation, or other factors, it can cause significant pain and limit your range of motion. Our skilled practitioners use precise techniques to identify and release these restrictions.
Understanding Fascial Restrictions and Their Impact
Fascial restrictions are often caused by traumatic accidents, inflammations of the soft tissue, or can develop as an after-effect of surgery. These restrictions always result in muscular tension, spasms, and sharp pain that can significantly impact your quality of life. What makes fascial restrictions particularly challenging is that they cannot be detected through standard diagnostic tests like X-ray scans, making professional assessment and treatment essential for proper identification and relief.
Restoring Function Through Specialized Care
It is essential to seek professional treatment once you notice restriction of movement in areas like the hip or shoulder, or experience painful backs that may be signs of fascial restriction. Myofascial release procedures are often the only effective treatment for these specific types of restrictions. Our specialized approach can help restore normal tissue function, eliminate pain, and improve your overall mobility and quality of life.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About Myofascial Release
Myofascial restrictions are commonly caused by traumatic accidents, inflammations of soft tissue, surgical procedures, repetitive stress, poor posture, and emotional stress. These factors can cause the fascia to become tight, thick, and restricted, leading to pain and limited mobility.
Common symptoms include muscular tension and spasms, sharp or aching pain, restricted range of motion (especially in hips and shoulders), chronic back pain, headaches, and areas of tenderness or trigger points. These restrictions often cause referred pain in areas distant from the actual restriction.
Fascial restrictions involve soft tissue problems that don't show up on standard diagnostic tests like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs because these tests primarily image bones and major structural abnormalities. Myofascial restrictions require hands-on assessment by trained professionals who can feel tissue texture, tension, and movement restrictions.
Treatment involves applying gentle to moderate sustained pressure to restricted fascial areas. This pressure is maintained until the tissue releases and elongates, allowing normal function to return. The process helps restore the natural elasticity and mobility of the fascial system.
Sessions typically involve hands-on assessment to locate restrictions, followed by sustained pressure applied to specific areas. You may feel stretching sensations, warmth, or tingling as the tissue releases. Treatment is generally comfortable, though you may experience some tenderness in restricted areas.
The number of treatments varies depending on the severity and duration of restrictions, your overall health, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients notice improvement after a few sessions, while chronic restrictions may require more extensive treatment. We'll monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
