Myofascial Release Therapy in Allentown PA
Myofascial Release is a very specific type of massage, yet, it is also so versatile it can be used in many other types of massage.
A slow paced massage, with this modality we are able to use any type of pressure – from light to deep pressure – and still obtain the same result, which is the muscle releasing.
Once the muscle releases, all the blood, oxygen, protein and nutrients are able to move into those muscles that were tight for so long.
Who Is This Good For?
Myofacial Release is good therapy choice for clients seeking the same pain relief benefits of a deep tissue massage without the unnecessary extra pressure “pain” type of massage
Benefits:
Because your muscles are able to be released pretty quickly in a mostly pain free manner, this serves to increase your range of motion, relieve your pain, and can be more of a relaxing massage treatment than a medical treatment.
Reasons for Using Myofacial Release:
To assess and treat non-injury-specific pain or chronic pain that has not resulted from any particular source. This treatment is good for pain that you might realize came on gradually or resulted from overuse of the area.
The Typical Results:
While the muscles can be released fairly quickly, full recovery will likely take more time. This is due to the time needed in order to break down the build-up of tolerated pain that you’ve grown accustomed to as well as to work on increasing your range of motion in the affected area.
