Common conditions that can be treated with myofascial release

Myofascial release is very effective in treating various conditions. Some of these conditions include;

• Fibromyalgia

  – This occurs when there is stiffness in multiple muscles. When you undergo a myofascial release session, the affected part will be identified and then massaged so as to loosen the muscles. Fibromyalgia can be painful and can cause depression at some point, getting treated is mandatory.

• Injury

  – when you sustain an injury, you may experience muscle stiffness. The myofascial release technique can then be applied to the affected spots to loosen up the muscles as well as fasten the healing process. Getting a release can also induce endorphins and make you feel happy. Endorphins are the hormones that give us the feeling of pleasure, joy, and happiness.

• Temporomandibular joint disorder

  – TMJ disorder is when the jaw muscle and bone are stiff and painful when talking, chewing, etc. When a patient is suffering from TMJ disorder, myofascial release can reduce inflammation, ease pain, and improve mobility at the jaw. Fascial stretch therapy in Edmonton can help in this case and ease the pain.

• Myofascial pain syndrome

  – Myofascial release is frequently used for this condition. When a patient is diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome, the trigger point for myofascial pain will be identified by the practitioner before massaging is performed at the affected spot. We have a registered massage therapist in our Edmonton clinic to treat such pain.

• Chronic headaches/ migraines

  – Headache is known to be a common cause of pain globally. When you suffer from chronic headaches and migraines, the head and neck muscles will be massaged using the myofascial release technique to relieve the pain. This therapy can be soothing and can provide immediate relief.

However, there are more conditions where the myofascial release technique can effectively relieve pain and fasten recovery. If you think your condition needs myofascial therapy, Contact Family Physiotherapy.
