Myofascial release (MFR) therapy is an alternative physical therapy that helps in the treatment of skeletal muscle immobility and pain by focusing on the release of muscular shortness and tightness. The fascia is a sheet of connective tissue that encloses muscles, covers underlying tissue, separates layers of tissue, and provides structural support for the skeletal system and soft tissues. The myofascial tissues are membranes that surround and support the muscles.
The main goal of MFR therapy is to stretch and loosen the fascia for it to move more freely along with other structures in the body therefore restoring the patient’s range of motion. Patients who usually seek for MFR therapy are the ones who lost flexibility or function after an injury or pain associated with soft tissue.
At BCP we focus on patient-based outcomes, and find MFR an effective complementary treatment, especially in cased involving stiffness and mobility.
