Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a type of manual therapy often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome, 'Myo' means muscle and 'Fascia' means band. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness within the myofascial tissues. These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout your body. The pain usually originates from specific points within the myofascial tissues called "trigger points". Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness at these trigger points.
