Professional Myofascial Release in High Point

Let’s begin with defining the word “myofascial”. “Myo” means muscle and “fascial” means fascia, the thin, connective tissue that surrounds muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones. Connective tissue runs head to toe throughout the body and thereby plays a key role in its functional motion. Myofascial pain arises from dysfunction in your muscles and their connecting tissue, which can be a result of injury to the muscle, overuse of the muscle, or daily stress (usually resulting in a chronic contraction of muscles). Most frequently it is noticed in areas of the body such as the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, and calves. 

Clearly, myofascial pain is a disruptor to daily life but relief for it can be found at Hands-On Health Massage & Physical Therapy through the successful technique called Myofascial Release.

Through Myofascial Release we can realign connective tissue, providing pain relief and helping to reduce tightness and soreness in your muscles and tissues.

Here’s how Myofascial Release works:

This hands-on approach is done by applying firm, sustained pressure throughout the fascia to stretch, elongate and relieve tension within deep muscle tissue. The therapist can target specific spots that need relaxing or knots worked out. Most importantly, they must maintain steady pressure on the targeted locations for up to five minutes to sufficiently stretch and soften the connective tissue.

What you can expect after treatment

Immediately after Myofascial Release you should notice a reduction in muscle tightness and soreness, as well as some pain relief. The pressure applied during treatment loosens up the connective tissue, so you should also notice greater flexibility and range of motion. It can also improve circulation, which promotes energy.

When you’re experiencing muscle tension and associated pain, call us at Hands-On Health Massage & Physical Therapy and start your journey to relief.
