Deep Tissue Myofascial Release
What is Deep Tissue Myofascial Release?
Deep tissue myofascial release is a type of treatment that involves applying sustained pressure to the deep layers of the fascia (a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles and other structures of the body) to help alleviate pain and improve mobility. It is often used in physical therapy and other healthcare settings to treat a variety of conditions, such as muscle strains, tendonitis, and fascial restrictions.
How does Myofascial Release work?
During a deep tissue myofascial release treatment, a practitioner will use their hands, fingers, or specialized tools to apply sustained pressure to the fascia. The pressure is usually applied in a slow, controlled manner, and may be held for several minutes to allow the fascia to stretch and release.
Deep tissue myofascial release is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment option, but it is important to consult with a healthcare provider who is trained in this technique to determine if it is appropriate for you. Some people may not be suitable candidates for deep tissue myofascial release, such as those with certain medical conditions or who are pregnant. Additionally, it is important to communicate with the practitioner about any discomfort you may experience during the treatment, as the pressure applied can sometimes be intense.
