What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on therapy that focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascial tissue—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, nerves, and organs. Tight fascia can cause pain, limited mobility, and postural imbalances.
At Nelson Healing Center, Antonia Nelson uses MFR to help clients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve overall flexibility.
Conditions Myofascial Release Can Help:
• Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Sports injuries and muscle strains
• Postural imbalances
• Scar tissue and adhesions
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
• Fibromyalgia
How It Works:
• Gentle, sustained pressure is applied to release tension in the fascia.
• Sessions are customized to your body’s unique needs.
• Clients often experience immediate relief and improved mobility.
Benefits of Myofascial Release:
• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Restores flexibility and range of motion
• Improves posture and alignment
• Enhances circulation and healing
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Myofascial Release hurt?
MFR involves gentle, sustained pressure. Some areas may feel tender if there’s tightness, but the goal is to release tension without causing pain.
How is MFR different from regular massage?
Unlike traditional massage, MFR targets the connective tissue (fascia) rather than just muscles. It focuses on releasing restrictions that cause pain and limited mobility.
How long is a session?
Sessions typically last 60 minutes, but this can vary depending on your needs and the areas being treated.
Can MFR help with old injuries?
Yes. MFR is effective for addressing scar tissue, post-surgical restrictions, and chronic pain from past injuries.
