Myofascial Release

A man is comfortable while the chiropractor examines his right shoulder.

Myofascial release is an intervention administered to various patients to alleviate pain or restrictive tissue problems.

The release treatment usually involves the application of gentle or moderate pressure on the connective tissues, which leads to relaxation and eventual elongation of the fascia therein. These restrictions are often caused by traumatic accidents or inflammation of the soft tissue. Some patients get them as an after-effect of surgery. They always result in muscular tension and spasm of sharp pain. They cannot be detected through standard diagnostic tests like the X-ray scan. It is essential for a patient to visit a doctor or physiotherapy expert once they notice restriction of movement in the hip or shoulder area. Painful backs can also be a sign of restriction and can only be treated through the Myofascial Release procedures.

01
Consultation
The therapist might have to interview you about what you think the cause of the pain could be. They may also palpate the affected area to identify the particular fascia that needs to be massaged and given due attention during the procedure.
02
Duration
A standard treatment should last anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour, but should not last longer than that as that may lead to soreness and fatigue.

03
Pain Relief Results
You may experience considerable relief, but if the case is severe, you may need to go for another session or two in the subsequent days.
04
Non-invasive treatment
The treatment does not require the use of any equipment and creams or gels. The therapist will only need their hands to manipulate and apply slight pressure to the trigger points and affected muscles.
