Is myofascial release right for me?
It can significantly affect your mobility when muscles become tight. This can cause pain and movement restrictions.
Fortunately, myofascial release helps to reverse this, allowing faster, pain-free movement.
With myofascial release, there are many conditions that can be helped. Some of the most frequent conditions include:
Chronic headaches/migraines
Myofascial release has also been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.
Injury
Injuries can cause muscle tightness.
The affected area will be massaged to loosen up the muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
The muscles around the jaw are massaged through myofascial release in many patients with temporomandibular joint disorder.
This decreases pain and inflammation, as well as increases the mobility of the jaw.
Fibromyalgia
This condition can also cause stiffness in multiple muscles.
The affected areas will be determined and then massaged.
Myofascial pain syndrome
This is the most commonly treated condition through myofascial release, and it can affect many of your muscles.
The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are determined and then massaged out.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome can benefit from this technique by having the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms massaged, in order to improve function and mobility.
Our Bloor West Village and The Kingsway physiotherapists and chiropractors are highly trained in the method of this treatment. They possess an extensive understanding of what specific pressure points to focus on, in order to bring your fascia back to its natural elastic form.
It is a type of physiotherapy treatment in the form of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles.
