Don’t forget to ask your qualified massage therapist about myofascial release therapy. If you’re experiencing muscle tension, pain, or restricted movement, myofascial release therapy will likely be of huge benefit to you.
What is myofascial release therapy?
Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on technique that targets restrictions in the intricate network of connective tissue surrounding your muscles and bones – the ‘fascia’.
Only a qualified massage therapist will have the necessary skills to perform the therapy safely and effectively.
And what is fascia?
The fascia is the thin, flexible, web-like layer between your skin and muscles. It holds your muscles in place while still allowing them to glide smoothly against each other. The fascia also absorbs shock, protects your bones and organs and allows the body to move with fluidity, stability and ease.
While its natural state is flexible and malleable, physical trauma, poor posture and repetitive stress can leave the fascia tight and constricted.
So why is myofascial release therapy so good for us?
Myofascial release therapy recruits gentle pressure and stretching techniques to release tightness and restriction in the fascia – promoting better circulation, reduced inflammation and mobility so you can move freely, feel good and live a vibrant life.
What scope of conditions can myofascial release therapy help manage?
Myofascial release therapy is a fantastic tool for managing chronic pain, headaches, musculoskeletal discomfort, stress (calms the nervous system) and injury rehabilitation (reduces scar tissue formation, improves mobility and facilitates healing).
Why should I consider Myofascial release therapy as a means of treatment?
Two reasons. It offers a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to achieve sustainable pain relief and natural healing over time and its application can be tailored to an individual’s unique needs, addressing targeted issues and symptoms.
While we recommend you embrace this transformative therapy and experience the profound impact it can have on your well-being, Myofascial release therapy is just one approach among many available for addressing muscle tension and related issues.
It’s important to have a comprehensive understanding of your condition and consider other treatment options that may be appropriate for you. Consulting with a healthcare professional will provide you with personalised advice based on your specific circumstances.
