Myofascial release

Myofascial release is a method of treatment that focuses on the connective tissue covering that wraps around the muscles.  (Think of Saran Wrap around your muscles)   Fascia is extremely strong and when this tissue becomes tight and restricted it can limit movement and cause pain.  Myofascial release helps stretch out this tissue, in order to increase mobility and decrease pain. Myofascial release also helps restore proper posture, alignment, and can even help mobilize scar tissue from surgery or injury.

The technique is performed with very little lotion or cream in order to properly stretch and lengthen the fascia. In most cases, immediate results are felt after the treatment.

All our therapists at Myocare RMT are highly trained in Myofascial release, and can either provide full myofascial treatments or integrate the techniques into any massage treatment.
