Myofascial Release Therapy located in Scottsdale
Are you suffering from constant pain? Do you have a job where your body is in the same position all the time, making your pan worse? Have you tried massage, foam rolling, or stretching with no true relief? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, Myofascial is for you!
Myofascial Release is a gentle stretching of the fascia and muscle fibers, eliminating restrictions and adhesions. This technique helps to restore the Fascia of the body and return range of motion, get rid of adhesions, and eliminate your pain!
What is Advanced Myofascial Release
- Myo comes from the Greek language meaning muscle. Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. If Fascia is stuck, it squeezes the structures it surrounds, inhibiting movement and circulation. If Fascia is not moving freely the whole area will experience pressure, malnourishment, and ultimately painful restriction in movement and at rest.
- How can Myofascial release help when massage hasn’t? The main difference is the mode of administration. Myofascial Release Therapy is a hands-on modality that gently stretches the muscles and fascia, focusing on specific areas and causes of pain. This modality eliminates myofascial restrictions and releases bound muscle fibers, thereby eliminating pain, and restoring range of motion! Unlike massage, Myofascial release does not use oils or lotion.
- Are there any side effects to Myofascial Release? You might feel the sensation of heat as blood flow returns to an area that has been restricted. Muscle spasms or twitches are common as the muscle relaxes and resets. All these things are normal and should pass within 24-48 hours. A little soreness can happen, put heat on the area to relieve the pain and keep muscles relaxed.
