I often get the questions- What is myofascial release? Would I benefit from it?
WHO Can Benefit from Myofascial Release?
The short answer: almost everyone! Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps relieve tension in the fascia—your body’s connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, and organs. When this tissue becomes tight or stuck, it can cause pain, limited movement, and discomfort in everyday life.
At Flow Physio, we use other techniques including dry needling, cupping and IASTM (“scraping”) to break up this fascia as well. All of these treatments have the common goal of breaking up tight fascia, improving blood flow and circulation, andd speeding uo recovery.
People Who Can Benefit Include:
• Athletes – Improve performance, recover faster, and prevent injury.
• Desk Workers – Release chronic neck, back, and shoulder tension from long hours of sitting.
• Chronic Pain Sufferers – Relief from conditions like fibromyalgia, headaches, or general body aches.
• Post-Injury or Surgery Patients – Restore mobility and reduce scar tissue adhesions.
• Busy Parents & Active Adults – Manage everyday aches and stress from daily life.
• Seniors – Improve balance, flexibility, and ease of movement.
• Teens & Students – Ease growing pains, sports tightness, and posture strain.
WHAT Is Myofascial Release?
Think of fascia like a stretchy web that wraps around your entire body. When it gets tight or tangled (often from injury, poor posture, stress, or overuse), it can tug on muscles and joints, causing pain or stiffness. Myofascial release is a hands-on therapy that gently stretches and unwinds these tight spots—kind of like untangling a knotted shoelace.
