Manual therapy is especially beneficial if you are experiencing spine problems, joint injuries, or other health conditions. Our expert physical therapists at MMA & Sports Rehab have years of specialized training to provide gentle, specific, hands-on therapies to address muscle and joint injuries. This includes massage (soft tissue mobilization), joint mobilization, and neuromuscular techniques to help you feel better. Myofascial Release Fascia is the system of connective tissue fibers that lay just under the surface of our skin that may look like a spider’s web or sweater. Fascia is highly organized in a mesh formulation of tubules filled with water, and its job is to attach, stabilize, enclose and create a compartment to separate muscles and internal organs between each other. With trauma or post-surgery or dysfunction or irritation, fascia tends to get irritated resulting in increased scar tissue formation and causes restriction in soft tissues underneath them. Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. It is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery.This enables the physical therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
