Learn more about Myofascial Release
Massage is becoming recognized more and more for its therapeutic and healing qualities. Myofascial release is a term with a buzz around it these days .. people talk about fascia more and more. We have mentioned the composition and function of fascia before in various fascial-focused blogs. At Broadway Wellness, Myofascial release is one of our massage therapy techniques used to treat fascia-based conditions.
“Myofascial pain can have two sources. Pain can be generated from the skeletal muscle or connective tissues that are ‘bound down’ by tight fascia. In addition, pain can also be generated from damaged myofascial tissue itself, sometimes at a ‘trigger point’ where a contraction of muscle fibers has occurred. In either case, the restriction or contraction inhibits blood flow to the affected structures, thus accentuating the contraction process further unless the area is treated.”
