Tight fascia and muscle restrictions can cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Myofascial release therapy at Motion RX focuses on gently releasing tension in connective tissues surrounding the muscles. This treatment helps improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and restore normal movement patterns throughout the body.
Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on treatment that targets restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles throughout the body. When fascia becomes tight or irritated, it can contribute to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and altered movement patterns. Myofascial release uses sustained pressure and manual techniques to reduce tension and improve tissue mobility. It is often helpful for people dealing with chronic muscle tightness, overuse problems, or lingering movement restriction. This treatment may be included alongside dry needling, orthopedic therapy, and 1-on-1 physical therapy.
