Important Facts On Myofascial Release Charlotte NC Residents May Wish To Know

By Eliza Mendoza


Myofascial release (MFR) is a soft tissue therapy for treatment of muscle pain and immobility. Fascia can be defined as thin tissue overlying all body organs for the purpose of support. The major focus of this therapy is to reduce the tension within tissues so as to improve the blood and lymphatic circulation, stimulate stretch in muscles and cause relaxation in contracted muscles. These and more are the basic facts about myofascial release charlotte nc residents may find productive.

There are many circumstances in which the tension in a muscular compartment may increase and require relief. Commonly, this happens following injury to a major blood vessel, tissue swelling and presence of oedematous fluid among others. When muscle fibres are injured, fascia surrounding it becomes tight and reduced in length. This unevenness can be spread to other areas of the body resulting in unexpected pain and other symptoms. Therapy helps in stretching these fibres and thereby relieving the patient of symptoms.

There are two main types of this treatment namely the direct and the indirect type. Direct release is a technique that entails loading constant force on tissue until stretch occurs. A variety of tools and sometimes elbows and knuckles can be used for this purpose. The therapist gradually burrows through the fascial layers until deep tissues are accessed.

For the indirect type, muscles are stretched voluntarily. Muscles are stimulated by putting some weight on them. If tissues are dysfunctional, they are guided through the path of minimal resistance to the point at which free movement is achieved. This technique is based on the fact that the facia is strongly adherent to the underlying structures. Careless stretching of the fascia may cause disruption of the muscular.

MFR should only be used when all other techniques have failed. The primary method that has been used traditionally is physical therapy. This treatment has the advantage of being less labour intensive. Release of the fascia is effective for treatment of many soft tissue disorders including plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibrositis, chronic back pain and many others.

Before any such therapy is conducted, the practitioner needs to take a guided history of the patient concerning their condition. For instance, one can ask about how long the pain has lasted, what triggers the pain, exact location of the pain and so forth. A physical examination is then done to check on posture and stability of joints. This is followed by the main therapy, muscle stretch which should be guided by feedback from the patient.

Under normal circumstances, one should feel relaxed when they undergo the treatment. The relaxation that is experienced may even induce sleep in some cases. One of the side effects that may be reported on rare occasions is soreness in the area that was affected. The most effective therapy for this problem is to drink lots of water.

The brain recognises our current posture, movement patterns and muscle tension as normal even though pain may be present in this current situation. This treatment causes alteration in current body positions and therefore there is a need to make the brain be able to recognise the changes. When the central nervous system eventually adapts to the change, the previous posture is labelled inefficient and painful while the new status is regarded as pain free and effective. These are the essentials on myofascial release charlotte nc residents would find beneficial.
