Myofascial release (MFR)

Myofascial release (MFR) is a hands-on technique used to release tension in the fascial system, which surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. It aims to:

  • Reduce muscle tension and pain

  • Improve range of motion and flexibility

  • Enhance circulation and reduce inflammation

  • Restore proper fascial alignment

MFR involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to connective tissue to:

  • Break up adhesions and scar tissue

  • Relax contracted muscles

  • Improve joint mobility

Common techniques include:

  • Soft tissue mobilization

  • Trigger point therapy

  • Deep tissue massage

Benefits of MFR:

  • Relieves chronic pain and stiffness

  • Improves athletic performance

  • Enhances postural alignment

  • Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
