Myofascial Release Therapy

Service Description

Myofascial Release is a safe & effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into restrictions in the Myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain & restore motion. Myofascial restrictions arise from trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures & can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that fail to present in many diagnostic imaging tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) Each patient is evaluated & treated as a unique individual. A Myofascial Release Therapy Session is a private, hands-on treatment in which the therapist uses a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques & movement therapy. This modality also promotes independence through education in proper body mechanics & movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural & movement awareness. Myofascial Release Sessions are performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to detect fascial restrictions & respond with application of the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
