What is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Myofascial release or known as trigger point therapy, is a manual therapy performed by a trained healthcare professional that focuses on releasing tightened and shortened muscles so that it can move more freely from the fascia, the surrounding connective tissues around the muscles.
When performed, myofascial release feels like a stretch with sustained pressure on the muscle belly to help separate it from the fascia. The goal is to improve range of motion of the target area as well as reduce pain.
