Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial Release Therapy at New Mexico Support Network

Chronic pain, muscle tension, and restricted movement can often be traced back to tight fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. At New Mexico Support Network (NMSN), our Myofascial Release Therapy helps relieve pain and restore mobility by gently releasing tension in the fascia and soft tissues. This therapy is effective for those suffering from chronic pain, postural imbalances, and movement restrictions by addressing the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.

What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release Therapy is a specialized form of manual therapy that focuses on relaxing and stretching the fascia, a network of connective tissue that supports and protects muscles throughout the body. When fascia becomes tight or restricted due to stress, trauma, or repetitive strain, it can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Our approach at NMSN involves gentle, sustained pressure applied to tight fascia, allowing it to release naturally, restoring normal function and pain-free movement.

Benefits of Myofascial Release Therapy:

  • Reduces chronic pain and muscle stiffness
  • Improves flexibility and mobility
  • Relieves postural imbalances and tension
  • Enhances blood flow and oxygenation to muscles
  • Supports injury recovery and rehabilitation

How Myofascial Restrictions Affect the Body

When fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can lead to:

  • Chronic pain and discomfort
  • Postural misalignment and movement limitations
  • Referred pain in distant areas of the body
  • Reduced circulation and muscle tension

Myofascial Release Therapy at NMSN targets these restrictions to restore natural movement and function, helping to eliminate pain and stiffness at the source.
