Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique that is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues, particularly those involving the soft tissue structures of the body. The technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to the fascia, a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles, bones, and organs. The goal of myofascial release is to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and restore proper function to the affected area.
