Myofascial Release (MFR)

What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a targeted physiotherapy technique used to release tension in the fascia — the thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds your muscles. When fascia becomes tight due to stress, injury, or poor posture, it causes pain, knots, stiffness, and mobility issues.

MFR gently stretches and releases these restrictions, providing long-lasting relief and restoring smooth movement.

Conditions Treated With MFR

• Chronic neck and back pain
• Muscle knots and trigger points
• Shoulder stiffness & frozen shoulder
• Myofascial pain syndrome
• Postural tightness & muscle imbalance
• Sports muscle tension & overuse injuries
• Sciatica & nerve compression due to tight muscles

MFR Techniques We Use

• Deep fascial stretching
• Trigger point release
• Skin rolling & soft tissue release
• Cross-fiber friction
• Gentle sustained pressure on tightened fascia

Benefits of Myofascial Release

• Improves flexibility & range of motion
• Releases muscle tightness and knots
• Reduces nerve compression symptoms
• Corrects posture and muscle imbalances
• Boosts blood circulation & healing
• Provides long-term pain relief
