Myofascial Release

 

Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that focuses on reducing tension and restriction in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints. By applying slow, sustained pressure, the aim is to improve tissue mobility, reduce pain, and restore more natural movement. It can be particularly helpful for ongoing stiffness or restricted movement and is integrated into a wider physiotherapy plan.

 

Is myofascial release gentle?

 

Yes — pressure is controlled and sustained rather than forceful.

 

What conditions is it used for?

 

Persistent tightness, movement restriction, and muscle-related pain.

 

Is it a stand-alone treatment?

 

No — it supports rehab rather than replacing it.
