Achy Muscles? Myofascial Could Help!
You Don’t Have to Deal with Achy and Painful Muscles!
Muscle aches and pains could significantly impact your daily life – but painful muscles can be a thing of the past with myofascial release!
Are you living with stiff or tight muscles? If so, you have what is called myofascial pain caused by muscular irritation, and the myofascial treatments at Prairie Rehabilitation may benefit you.
If your stiff or tight muscles are limiting your daily life, don’t hesitate to request an appointment.
One of our South Dakota and Minnesota physical therapists would be happy to meet with you and discuss how myofascial release can benefit you!
What can myofascial release do for me?
Our South Dakota and Minnesota physical therapists are highly trained in the method of this treatment, with an extensive understanding of what specific pressure points to focus on, in order to bring your fascia back to its elastic form.
This is a type of physical therapy treatment in the form of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles.
Is it right for me?
When muscles become constricted or tight, it can significantly impact your mobility. This can cause pain and limitations with movement.
Fortunately, myofascial release works to reverse this by loosening up the constricted muscles, thus allowing for easier, pain-free movement.
There are several conditions that can be treated with this treatment. Some of the most common include:
Myofascial pain syndrome
This is the most commonly treated condition through myofascial release, and it can affect many of your muscles.
The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are determined and then massaged out.
If you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed above, or another condition that you think could benefit from myofascial release, contact our South Dakota and Minnesota physical therapy office today.
Soft Tissue 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.
Fibromyalgia
This condition can also cause stiffness in multiple muscles.
The affected areas will be determined and then treated often with a combination of exercises and soft tissue release or myofascial release.
Chronic headaches/migraines
Myofascial release has also been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome may benefit from myofascial release by having the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms massaged, in order to improve function and mobility.
Temporomandibular joint disorder
The muscles around the jaw are massaged through myofascial release in many patients with temporomandibular joint disorder.
This decreases pain and inflammation, as well as increases the mobility of the jaw.
