The Benefits of Myofascial Release

Myofascial release can have additional benefits for those with specific injuries. Our chiropractor will discuss these benefits with you before your treatment session.

How Myofascial Release Works

Myofascial release is a form of massage therapy in which the chiropractor massages the patient’s body, looking for areas that are tight or stiff. We will massage or stretch out the connective tissues, providing a supportive release. This process feels like other massage techniques, but you will notice that it gets deep below the skin.

Who Benefits From Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release is a good option for anyone who suffers from painful, tight muscles. If you have tight muscles caused by chronic inflammation or an acute injury, you may benefit from treatment. This technique is commonly used to treat pain related to the neck, shoulders, arms, jaw, lower back, legs, and hips. Any area of your body that has connective tissues nearby can benefit from this therapy.
