Myofascial release therapy from MuscleMend Physical Therapy in Bonita Springs, Florida, is a hands-on treatment technique that places a deliberate focus on relieving tension in the connective tissue between muscles, bones, and joints, otherwise known as the fascia. Injuries, prolonged stress, inflammation, and even poor posture can lead to pain and limited mobility within the fascia, and myofascial release addresses these symptoms with sustained, gentle pressure that feels like a gradual softening or melting sensation.

Myofascial release therapy can provide much-needed pain and discomfort relief for those looking to avoid medication and, in some cases, surgeries that lead to longer recovery times.
Much like the other soft tissue therapies offered by MuscleMend, myofascial release therapy allows for improved circulation, oxygen delivery, and expedited healing of damaged tissues.
Restrictions within the fascia layer can hamper normal mobility and flexibility. By attacking these problem areas with gentle and sustained pressure, patients often experience immediate relief.
Myofascial release treats the layer of fascia connective tissue between bones, muscle groups, and joints. This unique treatment can reduce muscle tension, pain, and discomfort.
Due to the sustained holds, typical myofascial release therapy sessions last between 45 and 60 minutes; however, shorter sessions can be used to treat specific problem areas as part of a broader physical therapy visit.
Myofascial release therapy can help those suffering from lower back pain by applying sustained pressure to the thoracolumbar fascia and the hips.
The buildup of scar tissue after surgery can cause stiffness and restricted movement. Myofascial release can help to soften and disperse scar tissue to restore normal movement
Patients suffering from soft tissue pain, like sprains, strains, contusions, and tendinitis, are ideal candidates for the immediate and long-term relief offered by myofascial release therapy.
Office workers, athletes, and factory workers with injuries caused by repetitive motions may have fascial adhesions along their thighs and hips that limit mobility and create discomfort.
