Myofascial Soft Tissue Therapy is a hands-on approach to releasing muscle tension and restoring flexibility by targeting the connective tissue surrounding muscles.
1. Myofascial Release: Gentle sustained pressure is applied to specific areas of tightness or restriction in the muscles and fascia to promote relaxation and improve mobility.
2. Trigger Point Therapy: Pressure is applied to specific points within a muscle that are hyperirritable and tender, known as trigger points, to alleviate pain and referred symptoms.
3. Active Release Technique (ART): This technique involves the chiropractor applying precise tension while the patient actively moves the affected muscle through a range of motion, helping to break up scar tissue and adhesions.
4. Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM): Specialized tools, such as Graston® or ASTYM® instruments, are used to apply controlled pressure to the muscles and fascia, facilitating tissue remodeling and healing.
5. Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: The chiropractor may prescribe specific exercises to stretch tight muscles and strengthen weak muscles, helping to restore balance and function to the musculoskeletal system.
– Muscle strains and sprains
– Myofascial pain syndrome
– Tension headaches
– Plantar fasciitis
– IT band syndrome
– Rotator cuff injuries
– Carpal tunnel syndrome
– Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
Hey, folks! Let’s talk about myofascial soft tissue therapy—a fancy way of saying we’re going to work some magic with our hands. Your body is a symphony of interconnected tissues, and sometimes those strings get a little tangled.
With myofascial release, we gently coax those tissues back into harmony, melting away tension and restoring flexibility. Whether it’s tight muscles from hitting the gym too hard or knots that have been tying you up in knots, we’ve got you covered.
So, if you’re ready to experience the healing power of touch, come on in and let’s set those tissues free!
