Are Your Muscles Bothering You Lately?
Do you have stiff or tight muscles? Muscle aches and pains may have a huge effect on your everyday life, but with this release, sore muscles can be a thing of the past. Myofascial pain is caused by muscular discomfort, and the myofascial release treatments at For Health’s Sake can help you if you have this condition.
Myofascial release is a type of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles.
One of our Therapists will be pleased to meet with you in Downtown (Queen St West), Leslieville (Queen St East) or Kingsway (Etobicoke) and discuss how myofascial release can support you!
If your sore or tight muscles are interfering with your everyday activities, don’t be afraid to make an appointment.
What can myofascial release help with?
Myofascial release can help you find pain relief for many kinds of injuries and disorders. These conditions can significantly affect your mobility when muscles become constricted or tight, causing pain and movement restrictions.
Fortunately, by loosening up the constricted muscles, myofascial release helps to reverse this, allowing faster, pain-free movement.
With this release, many conditions can be handled. Some of the most frequent ones include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome clients may benefit from this release treatment, which involves massaging the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms to improve function and mobility.
Venous insufficiency
This release can help reduce the amount of blood pooled in the veins and allow for more effective blood flow, reducing vein pain.
Myofascial pain syndrome
This is the most common disorder treated with this release, and it can involve a variety of your muscles.
The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are identified and massaged away.
Temporomandibular joint disorder
The muscles around the jaw are massaged through this release in many clients 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.
Chronic headaches/migraines
This 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.
Our Downtown (Queen St West), Leslieville (Queen St East) and Kingsway (Etobicoke) Therapists are well-versed in the myofascial release technique. They have a thorough understanding of which pressure points to target to restore the fascia to its normal elastic state.
