Does myofascial release treat my condition?

When muscles become constricted or tight, it can significantly impact your mobility. This can cause pain and limitations with movement.

Fortunately, myofascial release works to reverse this by loosening up the constricted muscles, thus allowing for easier, pain-free movement.

There are several conditions that can be treated with myofascial release. Some of the most common include:

Venous insufficiency

Myofascial release can help reduce the amount of blood pooled in the veins and allow for more efficient blood flow, decreasing the pain felt in the veins.

Temporomandibular joint disorder

The muscles around the jaw are massaged in many patients with temporomandibular joint disorder. This decreases pain and inflammation, as well as increases mobility of the jaw.

Fibromyalgia

This condition can also cause stiffness in multiple muscles. The affected areas will be determined and then massaged.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome can benefit from myofascial release by having the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms massaged, in order to improve function and mobility.

Chronic headaches/migraines

Myofascial release has also been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.

Injury

Injuries can also cause muscle stiffness. The affected area will be massaged to loosen up the muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.

Myofascial pain syndrome

This is the most commonly treated condition, and it can affect many of your muscles. The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are determined and then massaged out.

If you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed above, or another condition that you think could benefit from myofascial release, contact our Laramie, WY physical therapy office today.
