Common conditions treated by myofascial release

When muscles become constricted or tight, it can significantly impact your mobility, causing pain and movement limitations. Myofascial release works to reverse this by loosening the constricted muscles, allowing for easier, pain-free movement. Some common conditions treated with myofascial release include:

  • The most commonly treated condition with myofascial release, affecting many muscles. Trigger points for your myofascial pain are identified and then massaged out.

  • Myofascial release can benefit patients with carpal tunnel syndrome by massaging the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms to improve function and mobility.

  • The muscles around the jaw are massaged to decrease pain and inflammation, and to increase jaw mobility.

  • This condition causes stiffness in multiple muscles. The affected areas are identified and then massaged.

  • Myofascial release can relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.

  • Myofascial release can help reduce blood pooling in the veins and allow for more efficient blood flow, decreasing vein pain.

  • Injuries can cause muscle stiffness. The affected area is massaged to loosen the muscles and promote quicker healing.
