Understanding myofascial release therapy.
Myofascial release therapy is a form of manual therapy that applies sustained pressure to connective myofascial restrictions. It targets the fascia — the web of tissue that surrounds and connects muscles, joints, and organs — to reduce tension, improve circulation, and restore tissue extensibility.
At Move, myofascial release is used strategically as part of an integrated approach. When combined with chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercise, it helps create more lasting improvements in mobility and function.
Is this right for you?
Myofascial release therapy is ideal for patients dealing with chronic tightness, recurring muscle tension, restricted range of motion, or soft tissue pain that hasn't responded to stretching alone.
Whether you're a runner with persistent calf tightness, a desk worker with shoulder tension, or an athlete recovering from overuse, myofascial release at Move addresses the tissue-level restrictions that hold back your progress.
Your experience with this service.
During a myofascial release session, your clinician will use hands-on pressure and specific techniques to identify and treat areas of restriction. Treatment is guided by your movement assessment and may focus on different areas than where you feel pain — because fascial restrictions often refer symptoms elsewhere.
Sessions may also include instrument-assisted techniques and are often followed by movement retraining to reinforce the changes made during treatment.
What you can expect to gain.
How this fits into your care plan.
Myofascial release therapy supports the Move Method by addressing the soft tissue layer of dysfunction. While chiropractic care restores joint position, myofascial release therapy ensures the muscles and fascia can support that improved alignment.
As you progress through the stages of care, myofascial release helps prepare the body for movement retraining and strength building — creating a more complete and durable recovery.
It can be paired with chiropractic adjustments and active rehab when those options fit your plan.
A typical care plan is 3 to 6 visits, depending on the person.
