What can myofascial release do for me?
Our physical therapists are highly trained in the method of myofascial release, with an extensive understanding of what specific pressure points to focus on, in order to bring your fascia back to its elastic form.
Myofascial release is a type of physical therapy treatment in the form of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles.
Is myofascial release right for me?
When muscles become constricted or tight, it can significantly impact your mobility. This can cause pain and limitations with movement.
Fortunately, this treatment works to reverse this by loosening up the constricted muscles, thus allowing for easier, pain-free movement.
There are several conditions that can be treated with myofascial release. Some of the most common include:
Myofascial pain syndrome
This is the most commonly treated condition through this treatment, and it can affect many of your muscles.
The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are determined and then massaged out.
If you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed above, or another condition that you think could benefit from myofascial release, contact our Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Dauphin, Shrewsbury, or Hershey, PA physical therapy offices today.
Injury
Injuries can also cause muscle stiffness.
The affected area will be massaged to loosen up the muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.
Fibromyalgia
This condition can also cause stiffness in multiple muscles.
The affected areas will be determined and then massaged.
Chronic headaches/migraines
This Treatment has also been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome can benefit from this treatment by having the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms massaged, in order to improve function and mobility.
Temporomandibular joint disorder
The muscles around the jaw are massaged through this treatment in many patients with temporomandibular joint disorder.
This decreases pain and inflammation, as well as increases mobility of the jaw.
Venous insufficiency
This Treatment can help reduce the amount of blood pooled in the veins and allow for more efficient blood flow, decreasing the pain felt in the veins.
