Pain Relief for Your Whole Body
Are you suffering from persistent musculoskeletal pain? Whether it stems from a chronic pain condition, an injury, or something else entirely, The Sports Clinic offers a whole-body approach to reducing pain and improving mobility: myofascial release.
Myofascial release is a specialized type of massage that can help manage pain from various causes, including soft tissue injuries, fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions, headaches, and more.
This holistic, hands-on approach will help you find the relief you deserve. Schedule an appointment at our Oakville and Carlisle, ON clinic to get started.
How Does Myofascial Release Work?
Myofascia is a tough, flexible tissue that wraps around every muscle in your body. When it’s healthy, it moves with you. But sometimes, the myofascia restricts, which causes pain and immobility issues throughout your entire body.
Furthermore, restricted myofascia can lead to trigger points. These small knots in the tissue can cause pain and tenderness at their location and referred pain elsewhere in the body.
Myofascial release is a hands-on therapeutic technique that aims to free up those restrictions and release trigger points. Our therapists will locate any restrictions in your myofascia, then ease them out with a slow, even pressure, working to elongate the tissue so you can find lasting pain relief.
What Can Myofascial Release Do For Me?
Many different conditions can cause restrictions in your myofascia, including the following:
- Chronic pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Strains in the muscles or tendons
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Migraines and headaches
We utilize myofascial release depending on your needs. For someone who has suffered an injury or needs to recover after surgery, myofascial release is an excellent alternative to pain medication. For people with chronic pain, myofascial release can help them manage their symptoms long-term.
Another often overlooked benefit of myofascial release? The technique doesn’t dig deep into the muscles, so it’s less intense than other forms of massage. However, it does help loosen you up and often, people notice a significant difference in how they feel and move the next day, making it a key piece in our holistic approach to physical therapy.
