ABOUT MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
At Westside Sports Chiropractic, we believe in the power of Myofascial Release (MFR) to not only cater to the needs of athletes but to provide relief and restoration to individuals from all walks of life. Whether you are a professional athlete, an office worker, or a parent juggling the demands of home, MFR is a therapy that transcends the boundaries of physical activity levels, offering benefits to anyone experiencing discomfort or seeking to improve their overall physical function.
HOW IT HELPS
The prevalence of chronic pain in our society is significant, with conditions like neck pain and low back pain affecting a vast majority of the population at some point in their lives. MFR is a technique grounded in science, designed to address the myofascial tissues — the tough membranes that wrap, connect, and support your muscles. When these tissues become tight or restricted, often due to repetitive stress, poor posture, or injury, they can lead to pain and limited mobility.
Research has shown that MFR can effectively decrease back disability, offering a significant improvement over physical therapy or exercise therapy alone. For those battling with non-specific chronic low back pain, MFR has been observed to produce a meaningful reduction in pain and disability, showcasing its potential as a valuable component of a comprehensive treatment plan.
ROLES OF MFR
When it comes to managing pain and enhancing recovery, understanding the role of inflammation is key. Inflammatory mediators are crucial in the body’s healing process, but when their levels are not balanced, they can lead to persistent pain and hinder recovery. While the direct comparison of inflammatory mediator levels post-MFR to other modalities is limited, the technique’s effectiveness in pain reduction and function improvement suggests a positive influence on the body’s inflammatory response.
WHY UNDERTAKE MFR
Myofascial Release is not exclusively for those who lead an active lifestyle. It’s also for the middle-aged office worker who experiences neck pain after long hours at the desk, the parent who lifts their child repeatedly, or the individual recovering from surgery. The technique has been shown to make a significant difference in pain levels and range of motion for patients with chronic neck pain, which is often a complaint across various demographics.
The truth is, myofascial pain can affect anyone, and MFR’s ability to restore optimal muscle length, improve function, and relieve tissue tenderness makes it an inclusive therapy for a diverse range of individuals and conditions.
