Myofascial release may be an effective treatment option for individuals who experience pain in their muscles and connective tissues. Myofascial release is a type of manual therapy aiming to release tension in the myofascial tissues – the tissues surrounding and supporting the muscles.
Many individuals seek out myofascial release therapy to address pain that has not resolved with other treatment modalities, such as traditional massage, physical therapy, or chiropractic care.
Myofascial release is sometimes used as a preventative measure to avoid the development of chronic pain conditions.
