Are you experiencing tightness and stiffness in your body? Myofascial release treatments can be the solution you’ve been looking for. This innovative treatment targets knots and releases chronic tension, providing relief and promoting overall well-being.

Understanding Myofascial Release- Industry BuzzWord

Myofascial release is a specialized form of manual therapy used in physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and osteopaths that focuses on the myofascial tissue surrounding and supporting your muscles. Applying gentle yet firm pressure to specific areas helps relax tight muscles, improve blood circulation, and alleviate pain and discomfort.

There are many different methods to treat the myofascial tissues, some very uncomfortable and others so gentle that you would barely feel anything occurring. 

Prospective patients need to be aware that fascial or myofascial release is a buzzword in the healthcare industry, and very few techniques or treatment methods actually have a therapeutic effect on the connective tissue of the body. Most treatments, such as massage therapy, primarily, are beneficial by affecting the brain and blood circulation to the connective tissues, which is an indirect treatment for myofascial. Massage is helpful, but other therapies must be utilized if doctors are to make a direct therapeutic effect on the myofascial tissues to reduce tension in the connective tissue, especially in chronic conditions.

So, what kind of services or therapies directly affect the fascia?

Stecco Fascial Manipulation: This deep tissue treatment requires a back-and-forth movement of key tension points that create friction and heat until hyaluronic acid breaks its chemical bonds. Once this occurs, the acid can absorb more water and act like a lubricant for connective tissues. Research has proven this influx of water between the layers of fascia creates a lift between the layers of fascia. This lifting of tissues increases flexibility, reduces tension, and, most importantly, there is an instant and significant reduction of pain. This technique is a gold standard for athletic injuries in professional sports. Fascial Manipulation by the Stecco family is the most evidence-based and effectively treats the myofascial connective tissue. Manipulation of the fascia is the best treatment for muscle tension relief and pain management of chronic conditions.
