Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial Release Therapy to Alleviate Chronic Pain

Myofascial restrictions can be caused by postural dysfunction, trauma, inflammatory conditions and/or surgeries. When these restrictions occur, they can produce tensile pressures up to 2,000 pounds per square inch on sensitive structure and lead to chronic pain. It essentially creates a ‘straight-jacket’ of pain around the tissue and can keep you in a cycle of pain.

Myofascial release can be helpful in many conditions when combined with Physical Therapy! At your initial evaluation, your physical therapist will determine if myofascial release would be appropriate as a part of your treatment plan.
