Soft tissue /Myofascial release

During soft tissue and myofascial release therapy, the therapist applies light pressure by hand to find myofascial areas that feel stiff instead of elastic and movable. These stiff areas, or trigger points, are thought to limit muscle and joint movements, which can play a part in widespread muscle pain.

The massage and stretching used in myofascial release therapy can help loosen muscles and joints. This may help indirectly ease your back pain.

If you think myofascial release therapy may be helpful for your back pain, please seek an advice/consultation with our therapist at Proficient Physio.
