Deep Tissue Myofascial Release (DTMR) is a specialized hands-on technique that targets the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and organs. When fascia becomes tight or stuck due to injury, inflammation, or poor posture, it can cause chronic pain, limited mobility, and dysfunction.
At NuPhysical, our therapists use deep, sustained pressure to release fascial restrictions, restore natural movement, and help you feel lighter, freer, and pain-free again.
How Does Myofascial Release Work?
Fascia is like a 3D web of connective tissue that can tighten or thicken due to trauma, overuse, or immobility. This restriction often leads to pain, stiffness, or dysfunction far from the actual source of the problem.
During treatment:
Your therapist uses slow, sustained pressure with hands, elbows, or specialized tools
Pressure is applied to specific trigger points or restricted fascial lines
The tissue is gently stretched and “melted” over time to restore glide, hydration, and flexibility
The result? Pain relief, improved circulation, better alignment, and a return to efficient movement.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Myofascial Release
Reduces Chronic Pain & Tension Targets deep layers of soft tissue that traditional massage can’t reach
Restores Mobility & Range of Motion Breaks up adhesions and scar tissue restricting natural movement
Releases Stored Stress in the Body Helps downregulate the nervous system and reduce physical/emotional tension
Improves Posture & Muscle Balance Unlocks movement imbalances and compensations
Supports Long-Term Injury Recovery Enhances other therapies like physical therapy, exercise, or surgery recovery
Conditions Treated with Myofascial Release
This technique is ideal for addressing both acute and chronic conditions, such as:
Muscle strains & soft tissue injuries
Tendonitis and overuse syndromes
Neck pain, tension headaches, and jaw tightness
Back pain and postural dysfunction
Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff pain
Hip tightness and IT band syndrome
Plantar fasciitis
Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome
Scar tissue following surgery or trauma
What to Expect During a Session
Session Time: 30–60 minutes Sensation: Deep pressure, slow tissue stretch, often followed by relief and lightness
1️⃣ Full-Body Assessment
We evaluate your posture, movement patterns, pain referral maps, and fascial chains.
2️⃣ Targeted Manual Therapy
Your therapist applies slow, firm pressure to release fascial tension — either directly over painful areas or at key restriction points elsewhere in the body.
3️⃣ Post-Treatment Integration
You may experience immediate improvement in flexibility and pain. Mild soreness can occur as tissues rehydrate and reorganize.
We often pair myofascial release with stretching, corrective exercises, or cupping therapy for longer-lasting results.
Is Myofascial Release Safe?
Yes — when performed by trained professionals. Our therapists are certified in advanced manual therapy and adjust pressure based on your needs and comfort.
This technique may not be suitable for:
Certain vascular conditions or clotting disorders
Active infections or open wounds
Some areas during pregnancy
We always conduct a comprehensive intake to ensure safety and effectiveness.
