Myofascial release technique
Myofascial release (MFR) is a hands-on therapy technique used to alleviate pain and restore motion by releasing tension in the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. Fascia can become tight or restricted due to injury, overuse, poor posture, or emotional stress, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
During a myofascial release session, a therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure or stretching to the affected areas of the body, aiming to release tightness and restore the natural elasticity of the fascia. This technique can be performed using various approaches, including direct or indirect methods, depending on the therapist’s assessment and the patient’s needs.
Direct myofascial release involves applying pressure directly to the restricted areas, such as trigger points or areas of tightness, to release tension and improve tissue mobility. Indirect myofascial release, on the other hand, involves gentle stretching or positioning of the body to encourage the fascia to release tension gradually.
Myofascial release is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as chronic pain, fibromyalgia, tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and sports injuries. It can be performed by various healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, massage therapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors.
Research on the effectiveness of myofascial release is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits for pain reduction, improved range of motion, and enhanced functional outcomes. However, more high-quality research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and effectiveness for different conditions.
Overall, myofascial release can be a valuable therapeutic approach for addressing musculoskeletal issues and promoting overall wellness, particularly when integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to individual needs. As with any therapy, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate approach for your specific condition.

Dr. Genrich took the time to explain why I was experiencing my symptoms and also showed me stretches to do on my own to help the treatment along and to prevent injuries in the future. She was very personable, pleasant, positive and professional.

Kristin got me from being bed-ridden for over a month to working a physical job, all within just a couple of months. She’ll tell you how to stretch to keep everything aligned properly in the long run. Can’t thank you enough!

Dr. Kirsten truly saved me! I was in so much pain and didn’t know what to do. I came into the clinic nervous and in pain but left a new woman! I recommend her to anyone I meet and is having similar issues.
