Myofascial Release
effective hands-on technique that targets myofascial trigger points and muscle tightness. This therapy helps to release restrictions in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles—allowing for greater flexibility, pain relief, and overall muscle function.
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique used to address the myofascial pain syndrome caused by tight or contracted muscles and fascial tissue. The fascia is a connective tissue that envelops muscles, bones, and organs. When the fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can cause pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion. Myofascial release aims to gently stretch and soften this tissue, allowing for better blood flow, improved muscle function, and relief from chronic pain. Our practice uses metal & plastic graston tools.

✨ Improved Flexibility: Increases the range of motion and flexibility in the affected muscles and joints.
✨ Muscle Relaxation: Relieves muscle tightness and spasms, promoting overall muscle relaxation.
✨ Enhanced Circulation: Increases blood flow to the tissues, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
✨ Reduced Headaches: Can help to relieve tension headaches and migraines by addressing neck and shoulder tightness.
✨ Improved Posture: Reduces muscle imbalances and stiffness, improving posture and body alignment.
Myofascial Release is especially helpful for treating a variety of conditions, including: Chronic Muscle Pain Tension Headaches and Migraines Neck and Back Pain Postural Imbalances Sports Injuries Fibromyalgia Plantar Fasciitis TMJ Dysfunction Repetitive Stress Injuries
