What is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Myofascial Release is a type of therapy that requires and utilizes manual techniques to apply consistent pressure on (and into) the fascia. In some chiropractic offices, myofascial release therapy is often coined myofascial therapy or myofascial trigger point therapy – truly depending upon the type of manual techniques and pressure being applied. The overall goal of this is to help in removing any fascial restrictions, alignment problems, and tightness in one’s posture.
Myofascial Release Therapy in Frankfort is 100% safe and has been utilized by thousands of chiropractors to help eliminate tightness and pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome. To better understand myofascial release, it’s essential to understand what is fascia and how it may lead to myofascial release therapy.
What is Fascia?
Fascia is simply a strong set of tissues in the body that are connected like a web. Fascia is found throughout the human body and plays an important role in the muscular, organ, and nerve structure. At the core, fascia helps with cellular nutrition, metabolism, and even respiration. Additionally, the fascia is directly responsible for keeping an individual grounded, standing straight-up, and moving. A healthy fascia is typically pliable, hydrated, and has a wide range of movement. Should a fascia be impacted or restricted – whether through trauma, sports injuries, or even a car accident, it’s bound to lead an individual in sharp pain. The reason being this is myofascial restrictions cause the muscular-skeletal system – and other bodily systems and structures, to feel an increased sense of pressure, resulting in pain and other dysfunctions.
Like that of trigger point pain, due to the structure and orientation of fascia, when Frankfort patients often complain of pain in a targeted area, the actual restriction is somewhere else – away from the signs and symptoms. For example, we have had patients visit Dr. Botti for neck pain; however, the fascia restriction was stemming from the sacroiliac joint. This is merely one of the many different conditions that patients may experience – and myofascial release therapy can help alleviate this pain and discomfort once and for all.
Causes of Myofascial Pain
While there are many different things that can lead to or create myofascial pain (sports injuries, car accidents, trauma) – the pain stems from two sources.
- Skeletal Muscles
- Myofascial Tissue
Through professional myofascial release therapy, the goal is to loosen and release the tension in the fascia to help other structures function and move freely. As a result, the patient who was suffering from myofascial pain can start to notice signs of relief and a “release” from the pain, and also a better range of movement and well-being. This is why many chiropractors will refer to myofascial therapy as myofascial release therapy or myofascial trigger point therapy.
Benefits of Myofascial Release Therapy
When patients undergo our myofascial release therapy in Frankfort, they reap the many benefits that make this type of chiropractic treatment such a popular option among Frankfort chiropractors. Here are just some of the many different benefits of myofascial release.
- Muscle Relaxation: Myofascial release has the unique benefit of helping to reduce any tension that has been stored in the body’s muscles. In this, it leads to a heightened sense of pain relief and relaxation.
- Reduced Soreness: Since our Frankfort myofascial release therapy helps in improving blood circulation, this chiropractic treatment can help push the important nutrients and oxygen to muscles and tissues, reducing soreness after workouts, high-impact sports, or traumatic events.
- Decreased Inflammation: Given the nature of myofascial release therapy, it helps to create cytokines, which actually assist in reducing inflammation in the body.
- Better Range of Motion: This type of chiropractic treatment can reduce and eliminate scar tissues and adhesions, resulting in greater flexibility, elasticity, and movement. This is attributed to strengthening the joints in the human body.
