What Is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique that focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. By applying gentle, sustained pressure to these restricted areas, myofascial release aims to improve blood flow, reduce pain, and restore proper movement patterns. This technique can be beneficial for various conditions, including chronic pain, muscle tension, and limited range of motion.

How Does It Work?

Our skilled chiropractors use manual techniques or specialized tools to apply gentle pressure to areas of tension and restriction. This helps to:

  • Release adhesions: Break up knots or adhesions in the myofascial tissue that can restrict movement and cause pain.
  • Improve blood flow: Increase blood flow to the area, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
  • Restore range of motion: Improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Additional Therapies for Optimal Results

In addition to myofascial release, we utilize various therapeutic modalities to enhance your recovery. These include:

  • Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to deliver medication deep into the tissues, reducing inflammation and promoting healing
  • High Volt Muscle Stimulation: An electrical current stimulates muscles and improves circulation
  • Microcurrent: Employs a low-intensity electrical current to promote healing and reduce pain
  • Russian Stimulation: A form of electrical stimulation that can help strengthen muscles and improve range of motion
  • Interferential Current: Utilizes alternating electrical currents to reduce pain and inflammation.

By combining myofascial release with these therapeutic modalities, we can create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you achieve optimal results!

Testimonials from Our Valued Patients

Joel Culpepper

I have had a history of pain and procedures. I have seen other chiropractors and therapists that didn’t help much if any. My first visit with Dr.Praya was more than I expected. A battery of xrays were done there and I was seen 2 days later. She helped relieve my immediate pain under my shoulder and set 6 more revisits. Thank you so much Dr.Praya!

Dr. Feeney came referred to me by a dear friend and then I learned that his staff as well as himself are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly they make feel like family. My back and hip pain has diminished more in the last six months then in the last 10 years. Thank you Dr. Feeney and staff.

Walter Sellers

As a competitive body builder and power lifter, spine care and back care are ESSENTIAL. I first came here for lingering shoulder impingement but now, through Dr Feeney’s techniques, my shoulder pain has been alleviated and the curvature in my spine has been almost moved to normal. So many people fear chiropractic therapy and treatment unnecessarily. I strongly recommend Physicians Plus Spine & Rehab Center.
