How does MFR Help?
Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) works on reducing pain and restoring motion by releasing fascial restrictions in the body. For example, MFR relieves tightness in the surrounding tissue of the spine which alleviates pain and helps prevent further bulges and herniations. Often, after a injury the body will form adhesions that can limit range of motion and produce pain, such as in a frozen shoulder and whiplash conditions. By releasing these adhesions we are able to decrease pain and tightness.
MFR promotes optimal postural alignment by freeing up fascial restrictions in the hips. This will often alleviates sciatica and low back complaints. The tightness in the neck and shoulders can contribute to TJM disfunction. MFR works on releasing these areas as well as targets the jaw directly to soothe these symptoms. Further, MFR is a great modality to easy trigger points.
