How Physical Therapy Uses Myofascial Release In Your Plan
Your therapist will perform a thorough assessment to identify the type of headache you are experiencing and the specific treatments that will be the most beneficial. The main emphasis of physical therapy is giving you the tools to manage your pain. We will educate you on the most effective exercises and postures to complement our hands-on interventions. Our goals include: • Reduce pain quickly through myofascial release and other manual therapy techniques • Reduce pain with postural education and targeted movements/exercises • Minimize the risk of recurring pain through strengthening exercises and behavioral changes • Minimize the use of medication or surgery to eliminate pain Manual therapies, including myofascial techniques, effectively reduce pain. However, when combined with targeted stretches, the results improve even more! Our therapists will identify specific stretches to alleviate pain and restore your motion. In addition, we will educate you on the movements and positions that are provoking your pain. Next, our therapists will educate you on preventing future episodes through regular exercise. It’s important to address issues when they begin so that they do not worsen over time.
Too often, people wait until they have severe headaches. Typically the longer you wait, the more challenging it is to reduce your pain. Regular manual sessions can reduce and may even prevent future episodes.

Scheduling an appointment is the first step in getting a new treatment added to your plan and finding relief for your debilitating aches and pains. At OSR Physical Therapy, our physical therapists will provide you with a thorough evaluation to determine the best ways in which our treatment methods will benefit you. We understand how inhibiting pain and stiffness can be, and we want to help get you back to comfortably living your life!

“I was hesitant to come here at first. I had such terrible experiences in the past at other places. But my Physical Therapist made me feel like I should try. I am happy I did. After two sessions I finally have some relief. I am actually hopeful for once that physical therapy will work. I am excited to continue my sessions here at OSR. Everyone that works here is wonderful.
