What is Myofascial Release?
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release is a very safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gently sustained pressure into connective tissue restrictions.
Trauma, inflammation, poor posture, and surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce extensive pressure on pain sensitive structures that do not show up on standard tests such as X-rays, CT scans, EMGs or mylograms.
Myofascial release is performed directly on the skin without oils or creams. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate the release of the fascia.
Some of the most common conditions treated include: low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, whiplash, plantarfascitis, sciatica, sinus problems and fibromyalgia/chronic pain.

What to Expect
During the first session, the physical therapist will review the client's medical history, complete a thorough assessment and determine the best course of treatment based on the client's information and assessment findings.
