Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) is a safe and highly effective hands-on technique used to relieve tension and pain in the myofascial tissues—the web of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles throughout the body. When this tissue becomes tight or restricted due to injury, stress, poor posture, or chronic inflammation, it can lead to pain, limited movement, and even referred pain in other parts of the body.
At Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic, our skilled physiotherapists use gentle and sustained pressure to release these fascial restrictions. This not only reduces pain and discomfort but also restores movement, enhances blood flow, and promotes the body’s natural healing response. MFR is a cornerstone in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, muscular imbalances, post-surgical recovery, and sports injuries.
Causes & Symptoms
What Causes Myofascial Restrictions?
- Repetitive muscle strain or overuse
- Direct trauma or injury
- Poor posture over time
- Lack of movement or sedentary lifestyle
- Surgical scars or soft tissue adhesions
- Emotional stress leading to muscle tightness
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
Common Symptoms You May Experience
- Localized or widespread muscle pain and tightness
- Trigger points (knots or sensitive areas in the muscles)
- Reduced flexibility or range of motion
- Stiffness after rest or sleep
- A feeling of tension or pressure in muscles even without activity
- Referred pain—discomfort felt in one area that originates from another
