At Hands-On Health – Massage and Physical Therapy in High Point, NC, we take a hands-on, personalized approach to helping our clients feel better, move better, and live pain-free. One of the most powerful techniques we use is Myofascial Release Therapy, a proven method for reducing chronic pain and restoring mobility. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness, soreness, or lingering discomfort from an injury, this specialized therapy can help you regain flexibility and improve overall function.
What Is Fascia and Why Does It Matter?
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in your body. Think of it as a web-like structure that holds everything in place and allows for smooth, coordinated movement. However, due to injury, overuse, poor posture, or stress, fascia can become tight, restricted, and knotted.
When fascia is restricted, it can pull on muscles and joints, leading to:
- Pain and tenderness
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle imbalances
- Poor posture
- Nerve compression
These fascial restrictions are often the hidden source of chronic pain and stiffness that traditional treatments may overlook. That’s where Myofascial Release Therapy comes in.
How Myofascial Release Therapy Works
At Hands-On Health, our skilled therapists use Myofascial Release to gently apply sustained pressure to fascial restrictions. By holding these areas for up to five minutes, we allow the fascia to soften, elongate, and release, restoring natural mobility and reducing pain.
We also incorporate this therapy as part of our holistic treatment plans, often alongside services like Physical Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage, to ensure comprehensive healing.
Conditions Treated by Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release can help with a wide variety of conditions, including:
✔ Chronic neck and back pain
✔ Headaches and migraines
✔ Shoulder tightness and frozen shoulder

✔ Sciatica

If you’re experiencing persistent pain or stiffness that isn’t responding to other treatments, Myofascial Release Therapy may be the missing piece of your recovery.
