Enhance Your Well-Being with Myofascial Release
Myofascial release technique (MRT) is a type of manual, hands-on therapy that focuses on releasing tension in the connective tissue/fascia surrounding your muscles. MRT is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques.
Myofascial release techniques include applying sustained pressure on specific points, and the use of gentle stretching combined with massage techniques.
By releasing tension in your connective tissues, our practitioners aim to improve function and reduce pain.
MRT may also help improve blood circulation in the treated areas, and can potentially enhance overall flexibility and improve posture.
Some patients report immediate pain relief and/or increased range of motion after just one session. Others may require multiple sessions to achieve significant improvement.
Many of our patients experience a sense of relaxation and reduced stress levels following a session.
