Myofascial Release Therapy: Definition, Uses & Treatment 

 

What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial release therapy addresses tight and sore muscles, which can be the result of an injury or overuse of the muscle. Many patients seek this therapy because they have lost flexibility/range of motion and have pain within a muscle.   Myofascial release therapy is a manual therapy to help elongate restricted fascia, which can be palpable by feeling over the area to locate stiff or fixed fascia (rather than elastic and movable fascia). Focused pressure with using the hands can stretch and release the tightness within the fascia. 

Myofascial Release Therapy Uses

Myofascial Release therapy can treat many muscular skeletal conditions including fibromyalgia, TMJ disorder, or even carpal tunnel syndrome. 

Who uses Myofascial Release Therapy?
