Myofascial Release | Trigger Point Therapy

Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy are hands-on treatments designed to reduce muscle tightness, relieve pain, and restore proper movement patterns.

Fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles — can become restricted due to stress, injury, poor posture, or repetitive strain. These restrictions may contribute to pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility.

By addressing both fascia and trigger points (localized muscle knots), we help the body move more efficiently and comfortably.

WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE & TRIGGER POINT THERAPY?

Myofascial Release focuses on gently stretching and releasing tight fascia to improve circulation and mobility.

Trigger Point Therapy targets specific areas of muscle tension that may refer pain to other parts of the body.

Together, these techniques help:

  • Reduce chronic muscle tightness

  • Improve range of motion

  • Decrease pain patterns

  • Restore proper alignment and biomechanics

  • Support nervous system relaxation

This therapy complements chiropractic adjustments by addressing soft tissue restrictions that may contribute to misalignment.

WHAT TO EXPECT

During your session:

  • A practitioner evaluates posture, movement, and areas of tension.

  • Hands-on techniques are applied to release tight fascia and trigger points.

  • Pressure is adjusted to your comfort level.

  • Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.

Myofascial Release is often integrated with Chiropractic Care, Kinesiology Taping, Acupuncture, and Quantum Neurology for comprehensive structural support.
