I have been going to PhysioPlus now for about six months. My physiotherapist is Sarah DeBoer. I thinks she is amazing. She has helped me be more mobile and with less pain.

"totally recommend."
Great service by Sarah. I think what helped me most was that she was able to isolate the problem and provide specific exercises that really helped, moreso than if I were to try to self-heal. totally recommend.

"I choose the best"
I have some problems with shoulder/ arm and I need physiotherapy. To choose best physiotherapist I went through many websites and checked lots of people’s reviews. After first therapy I had better sleep at night.

Myofascial Release Could Relieve Achy Muscles
Are Your Muscles Feeling Sore?
Are you living with stiff or tight muscles? Muscle aches and pains could significantly impact your daily life – but painful muscles can be a thing of the past with myofascial release.
Myofascial release treatments at PhysioPlus Health Group may benefit you if this is a condition you’re living with.
One of our Bloor West Village and The Kingsway physiotherapists and chiropractors would be happy to meet with you and discuss how myofascial release can benefit you!
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 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.
Stiff, tight, achy muscles shouldn’t limit your life. You deserve to feel good and live an active lifestyle.
