Myofascial Release (MFR)

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialized physical therapy technique used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by chronic pain due to stiffness and tightness in the myofascial tissues, which surround and support the muscles throughout the body. MFR therapy involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Causes for Myofascial Release (MFR) Therapy:

• Repetitive Motion Injuries: These injuries occur from repeating the same physical movement over an extended period, leading to strain and damage to the myofascial tissues. MFR helps by releasing tension and restoring mobility.
• Surgical Procedures: Post-surgical scar tissue can restrict movement and cause myofascial pain. MFR works to break down these restrictions, allowing for better movement and reduced discomfort.
• Poor Posture: Long-term poor posture can lead to myofascial pain due to uneven pressure and strain on the body’s connective tissues. MFR addresses these imbalances by promoting symmetry and balance in the body.
• Physical Trauma: Accidents or sudden impacts can cause myofascial restrictions that lead to pain and limited mobility. MFR therapy helps by gently releasing the pressure in these areas, aiding in the recovery process.
• Stress: Emotional stress can manifest physically as muscle tension and tightness in the fascial network, contributing to pain and dysfunction. MFR assists in alleviating this tension and promoting relaxation.
