What Is Myofascial Release?
Also known as ART or MRT, myofascial release is a soft tissue system-based massage technique targeting muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, and nerve issues. Conditions like headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many more can find swift resolution with MRT, often stemming from overused muscles.
Causes Of Overuse Conditions:
Overused muscles undergo significant changes, including acute conditions like pulls or tears, accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma), and insufficient oxygen supply (hypoxia). These factors lead to the production of tough scar tissue, restricting movement, causing muscle shortening, weakness, tendonitis, and nerve entrapment, resulting in reduced range of motion, strength loss, and pain.
What To Expect From MRT Treatment:
Each MRT session assesses muscle, fascia, tendon, ligament, and nerve texture, tightness, and movement. Abnormal tissues are targeted using precisely directed tension alongside specific patient movements.
