Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialized manual therapy focusing on relieving tension in the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. This technique complements our holistic approach by addressing structural imbalances that may contribute to pain and dysfunction. It is a hands-on therapy targeting the body’s connective tissue (fascia) to relieve pain, improve mobility, and unwind stored tension.

Our skilled practitioners use gentle, sustained pressure to release restrictions in the fascia, helping with chronic pain, postural issues, scar tissue, and trauma recovery. It integrates well with acupuncture and massage for long-lasting results.

Benefits of Myofascial Release:

• Pain Reduction: Eases chronic pain conditions, including neck and back pain.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances flexibility and range of motion.
• Postural Correction: Addresses alignment issues contributing to discomfort.
• Stress Alleviation: Promotes relaxation and reduces stress-related tension.

Scientific Evidence:

• A systematic review highlighted that MFR significantly improved pain and physical function in patients with chronic low back pain.
• Another study found that MFR therapy decreased pain, improved range of motion, and enhanced overall physical function in individuals with various musculoskeletal conditions.

Connection to TCM:

MFR’s focus on releasing physical restrictions parallels TCM’s aim to ensure the smooth flow of Qi and blood, thereby supporting the body’s self-healing capabilities.
