Alleviate Chronic pain with myofascial release?
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique often used in massage. The technique focuses on pain believed to arise from myofascial tissues — the tough membranes that wrap, connect and support your muscles. Theoretically, myofascial pain differs from other types of pain because it originates in "trigger points", which are related to stiff, anchored areas within the myofascial tissue. The pain that a trigger point causes is often difficult to localize, though.
During myofascial release therapy, the therapist locates myofascial areas that feel stiff and fixed instead of elastic and movable under light manual pressure. These areas, though not always near what feels like the source of pain, are thought to restrict muscle and joint movements, which contributes to widespread muscle pain.
Is Myofascial release right for me?
It’s a great way to release stiff firm feeling muscles that have very limited range of motion. At our clinic in Islington, we treat a lot of patients with injuries such as frozen shoulder, stiff neck, lower back and restricted hamstrings. We aim to help you to release tight or strained muscles, so you can carry on pain free.
