Start Feeling Better In As Few As 3 Visits.
Are you all knotted up? Is your neck, shoulder, or back screaming for relief? Does your body always feel tight? If so, Myofascial release technique might be the answer.
You see, the human body can perform incredible feats like surfing an 18 foot wave or jumping 45 inches in the air. Now you might applaud muscles for these feats but you should credit fascia too.
“Myo” means muscle and fascia is this connective tissue that looks like a spider web-like matrix that holds everything together. It connects individual muscles together and entire muscle complexes together. It’s connected from head to toe and aligns the whole body together.
For example, say someone has chronic neck pain. A practitioner will not just work on the neck but they will look at the whole body. This is because the majority of fascia orients vertically so it can drag and put tension on far away areas. This means pain in the neck could actually be caused by fascia restrictions in the lower back.
The things that can cause restrictions and tightness in fascia are:

The practitioner will first palpate to find where all the stiff and tight areas are. They will then work on releasing this tightness by gently massaging the area.
They will massage and stretch the areas with light pressure. They will do this multiple times until the therapist feels the tension is fully released. Many times they will spend 3-5 minutes holding pressure in one area until they feel it release.
Now, the therapist may work on areas that are not near where the pain is coming from because that pain could be caused by tightness in another area of your body. So the therapist will try to release tension in specific spots throughout your body that could be contributing to the condition.

Myofascial release is most of the time a gentle massage, however at times it can be an intense experience. During the session the practitioner will massage, knead, and gently stretch the muscles and fascia to work out the knots.
The therapist will apply pressure to the knots or areas where it hurts to get them to relax. The pressure can be applied with hands or with elbows to get very deep into the tissue.
Afterwards, you might feel temporary soreness, but you will feel a lot looser than you did before the treatment.
For acute conditions they can resolve in a few treatments. For others it can take 4-12 weeks of treatment going 1-3 times per week depending on how severe the condition is.

Yes you can. In fact, it’s a good idea because some swelling may occur which is your body’s natural healing mechanism.
You can apply ice over the injured area for 15 -20 minutes every 3 hours. It’s good to do this during the first 24 hours after myofascial treatment.
An easy way to make an ice pack is by filling a plastic bag and wrapping it with a thin towel. After 48 hours apply heat for 15-20 minutes several times a day. You also can alternate between ice and heat.
