Myofascial release (MFR, self-myofascial release) is an alternative medicine therapy claimed to be useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
What is Myofascial Release?
Discover more about why functional myofascial release is the most effective form of soft tissue therapy available today.
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.
