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. Kirstin has been amazing. She listens to you and includes you in all the decisions!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs care. I am finally getting relief for hip pain I have had for years.
Melissa B
Dr. Kirstin is amazing! She does a full assessment of your alignment and creates a plan that focuses on your area of trouble. She is attentive and takes her time to listen and understand your issues. I also loved how she offered insight on the different parts of the spine and how that affects various regions of your body. I came in with upper back pain and after a few visits, that nagging pain went away. I definitely recommend Dr. Kirstin!
