Myofascial Release Technique

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialised manual therapy technique used to
treat myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity
and tightness in your myofascial tissues.

These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout your body. The pain usually originates from specific points within your myofascial tissues called trigger points. MFR focuses on relieving this pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points.

The technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue restrictions. The goal is to eliminate pain and restore motion. Unlike other forms of bodywork that target muscles directly, MFR targets the fascia, a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue that wraps most structures within the body, including muscle.

Physical Examination and Diagnostic Process

The diagnostic process for myofascial pain syndrome begins with a thorough physical examination. A healthcare provider, specialising in musculoskeletal disorders, will palpate the muscles and fascia to identify areas of tightness and trigger points. The examination includes assessing the patient's posture, range of motion, and the presence of referred pain patterns. Trigger points are identified as hyperirritable spots in the skeletal muscle that are painful on compression and can produce characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and motor dysfunction.

Management and Treatment

Practitioners of myofascial release use their hands to gently massage and stretch the areas of the body where the fascia feels stiff and tight. This pressure helps to soften and lengthen the fascia, increasing blood flow and promoting relaxation. The therapist might also use various movement techniques to improve the range of motion and function.

Effectiveness and Benefits of Myofascial Release Technique

MFR is used for a variety of conditions, including back pain, headaches, whiplash, and fibromyalgia. Myofascial release is a highly effective technique for myofascial pain syndrome and other chronic pain conditions. By targeting the fascia and releasing tension, MFR can provide lasting relief and improve overall well-being. If you suffer from chronic pain and have not found relief with other treatments, myofascial release may be worth considering.

At TRUE AMK, I feel safe and trust them to take good care of my spine

TRUE Chiropractic has become my weekly ritual. Everyone at the clinic is friendly, professional and super kind. Dr Justin takes time to answer questions, explain stuff I'm not clear about and is very supportive of my recovery efforts. Thanks to them, I'm recovering very well from slipped disc and sciatica without having to go from surgery, and have even been able to resume climbing.
