ABOUT MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

What Is 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

Myofascial Release: The Scientific Approach to Pain and Mobility

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

The Role of MFR in Reducing Inflammation

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

Why MFR is for Everyone

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.

Wow! What an amazing experience! Dr Joey is absolutely brilliant! He was able to diagnose & treat a multitude of issues I have with my neck, back, shoulders & ankle. He was compassionate and understanding with all my concerns and I am forever grateful! There aren’t enough gold stars to show how amazing he is!

I travel 2 hours each way every 2 weeks to see Jason and its worth it! He works with the whole body and is able to give detailed answers to all my questions. My injury was super complex as I have seen many specialists but no one has made any progress but now with jason I continue to see improvement each session! High Recommend.

Jason! He knows his stuff! I've had knee pain for months and with one treatment, the pain went from 90% to 10%. Hoping he can work his magic on the rest of the body. Amazing work and THANK YOU!
Shanny Ho
Thankyou Jason for your wealth of knowledge. I saw Jason as a new patient for a chronic issue I have had for quite a few years! It has stopped me from moving as much as I have in the past as the pain associated afterwards was always debilitating: tightness in the hips, pain on pressure on the heel of the foot. Just with the treatment provided in one session it feels better the day after with weight on the heel and my hip feels much more agile. Hopefully with the next couple of appointments I’ll be back to cycling and lifting !
Gordon Holloway

I had the pleasure of visiting Jason this past Saturday, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. Jason is not only incredibly skilled but also honest and informative. I appreciated how he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood the treatment plan. What impressed me most was Jason's dedication to his craft and his genuine concern for his patients' well-being. He didn't rush through the session; instead, he took the time to address my concerns and tailor the treatment to my specific needs. I purposely waited more than 24 hours before writing this review to let the effects of the session settle and to give an honest opinion after a workout. I can confidently say that I feel a significant improvement, and I am grateful for Jason's expertise. If you're looking for a chiropractor who combines skill with a caring attitude, I highly recommend Jason. Thank you, Jason, for a truly exceptional experience!

Jason addressed my neck and shoulder issue in just one session and is now making significant improvements to my lower back. His expertise is evident, and I highly recommend him.
Jason Fong

Have been visiting Jason at Westside Sports Chiropractic for several months now and am really impressed with his thorough assessment and treatment. He takes the time to understand the root cause and focuses on correcting that, not just a short term fix. I've seen a lot of improvement in my condition so far. Would highly recommend.

Tim Booth

Jason is fantastic. He knows his stuff and every issue I have brought to him has been solved with a logical approach and with confidence.I wish I had found him much sooner then I did.Highly recommended.

Travelling Soldier

Jason is a wholistic health professional. Saw him for a long standing shoulder pain. Clear ultrasounds and x-rays. He accurately diagnosed the underlying cause and offered rapid yet sustainable relief in just one session. Now looking at rehab with him in the on-site gym and continue to strength and conditioning long term. Glad I called in !

Oscar Marulanda

I’ve been in treatment with Jason for over a year. I went with a back injury and Jason basically “fixed” me. Along the way, he has provided guidance and advice about how to improve my back.Recently, I have sessions with Joey. His skills and experience are aligned with Jason’s which made you feel comfortable that either one of them is equally doing the best for you.I’ve recommended Jason to my mum, brother and brother-in-law. They all agree that Jason has miracle hands.

Daniel Eishou

Iv had 2 sessions with Jason, iv had neck/shoulder a shoulder issue for years now. He has no joke found the issue given me things to work on and only after 2 sessions it actually feels it's getting better. Very knowledgeable and the session is worth it.
