Myofascial Release
Achy Muscles Got You Down? Myofascial Release Could Provide Relief.
Do you have stiff or tight muscles? Muscle aches and pains may have a huge effect on your everyday life, but with myofascial release, sore muscles can be a thing of the past. Myofascial pain is caused by muscular discomfort, and the myofascial treatments at Lumina Wellness Physical Therapy can help you if you have this condition. This is a type of physical therapy treatment in the form of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles.
What can myofascial release help with?
Myofascial release can help you find pain relief for many kinds of injuries and disorders. By loosening up constricted muscles, myofascial release helps to reverse pain and movement restrictions, allowing faster, pain-free movement. Conditions that can be treated include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Massaging the muscles in the hands, wrists, and/or arms to improve function and mobility.
Venous insufficiency
Reducing the amount of blood pooled in the veins and allowing for more effective blood flow.
Myofascial pain syndrome
The most common disorder treated with myofascial release — "trigger points" are identified and massaged away.
Temporomandibular joint disorder
Muscles around the jaw are massaged to decrease pain and inflammation and increase jaw mobility.
Chronic headaches/migraines
Relieving pain by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.
Injury
The affected area is massaged to loosen up muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.
