Myofascial Release Therapy in Perth

The popularity of myofascial release massage is due to its numerous health benefits that people can reap after a regular session. Some of the most important benefits of myofascial release massage include:

It decreases chronic pain.

Chronic pain is the result of restrictions in the body’s soft tissues and muscles from a variety of causes. Some of these include overuse, injuries, nerves compressions and inflammatory conditions.

Furthermore, chronic pains are not usually visible or are difficult to diagnose as they can quite often not be seen on scans.. Myofascial release aims to stretch and then loosen the fascia in order to enable the patient to reduce their pain.

It strengthens the immune system.

Any type of massage is beneficial to the body, including myofascial release massage. The body regains lost energy, heals the injured area, and ensures a healthy mind and body. A person’s overall physical and cognitive mobility is directly affected by the stressed muscles and tissues. If a patient is unable to do normal, day-to-day tasks, it greatly affects their quality of life.

Therefore, myofascial release therapy can help keep the body healthy by getting rid of all the stressors inside. All the systems of the human body will then return to normal functioning or improve, so it is able to protect itself from other harmful elements outside. In this way, the immune system will be boosted so that the human body will be able to cope with any challenges that may arise.

It improves nerve function.

We sometimes find ourselves in bothersome accidents in life. Besides emotional trauma, these accidents often result in serious injuries. Myofascial release massage can be part of the treatment regimen if the body is severely injured, particularly the muscles and tissues.

A myofascial release massage incorporates all the techniques and movements that improve the nerve function of the body. As a result, the body will have an easier time recovering. In addition, myofascial release massage will still be helpful even if you are healthy and haven’t had any accidents to maintain normal nerve function in the body.

It increases blood circulation.

Blood is one of the essential elements of the human body. Normal blood flow should always be maintained. Because the blood carries all the nutrients and minerals every part of the body requires, this is crucial. Myofascial release massage relaxes constricting muscles and tissues, particularly those that are extremely tense. A condition such as this hinders the normal flow of blood, causing problems inside the body. Myofascial release massage can help treat and prevent this.

The main purpose of myofascial release (MFR) therapy is to release muscular tension and shortness. Myofascial release therapy targets a number of conditions and symptoms.

A patient might seek treatment for myofascial pain if they have lost flexibility or function following an injury or if they are experiencing back, shoulder, hip, or other soft tissue pain.

Other conditions treated by myofascial release therapy may include Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and migraine headaches. Symptoms of these conditions include:

• Tight tissues restrict motion and pull the body out of alignment, causing individuals to favour and overuse one hip or shoulder
• Pain caused by excessive pressure on muscles or joints
• Pain or discomfort in any part or part of one’s body, including headaches or back pain.

Massage can encompass a wide range of techniques, forms, and strokes. However, most people think of it as being long or short strokes and kneading with a different application of pressure levels.

The real difference lies in the manner in which MFR is conducted so that this connective tissue is addressed. A more effective release of muscle tension can be achieved using slow, constant pressure and sustained stretching of myofascial release rather than just massaging into the muscles. Using gentle pressure during body massage does not elicit the same response.

Due to the nature of referred pain, your physiotherapist will not just focus on the area of concern. As a part of MFR, we examine other areas that may be at the root of the problem. Often people describe a warm, melting sensation after their fascia releases, their nervous system relaxes, and their muscles loosen. The technique works beyond just the muscles, addressing the root cause of so many problems.
