- Helps decrease chronic muscle tension, spasm and pain by releasing muscle tightness and restoring normal movement.
Myofascial Release
Clinical Example
- The muscular tissue (myo) is integrated with the connective tissue membrane (fascia) to form an integrated unit of movement.
- The role of the fascia is to provide static postural support, maintain alignment and protect the inner organs.
- The muscles and fascia can tighten reducing mobility.
- An analyst suffers from chronic pain in the neck and shoulder muscles from working on the computer all day.
Treatment
- Muscle release will lengthen the neck muscles and promote better alignment to ease the pain long-term.
- Strengthening larger muscle groups will decrease load on the smaller neck muscles.
