Myofascial Release

Are you living with stiff or tight muscles? If so, you have what is called myofascial pain caused by muscular irritation. Myofascial release is a type of physiotherapy treatment in the form of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles. Our Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON physiotherapists are highly trained in the method of myofascial release, with an extensive understanding of what specific pressure points to focus on, in order to bring your fascia back to its elastic form. 

If your stiff or tight muscles are limiting your daily life, don’t hesitate to contact MEX Physio today to schedule an appointment. One of our physiotherapists would be happy to meet with you and discuss how myofascial release can benefit you!

Common conditions treated by myofascial release:

When muscles become constricted or tight, it can significantly impact your mobility. This can cause pain and limitations with movement. Fortunately, myofascial release works to reverse this by loosening up the constricted muscles, thus allowing for easier, pain-free movement.

There are several conditions that can be treated with myofascial release. Some of the most common include:

  • Myofascial pain syndrome. This is the most commonly treated condition through myofascial release, and it can affect many of your muscles. The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are determined and then massaged out.
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome can benefit from myofascial release by having the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms massaged, in order to improve function and mobility.
  • Temporomandibular joint disorder. The muscles around the jaw are massaged through myofascial release in many patients with temporomandibular joint disorder. This decreases pain and inflammation, as well as increases mobility of the jaw.
  • Fibromyalgia. This condition can also cause stiffness in multiple muscles. The affected areas will be determined and then massaged.
  • Chronic headaches/migraines. Myofascial release has also been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.
  • Venous insufficiency. Myofascial release can help reduce the amount of blood pooled in the veins and allow for more efficient blood flow, decreasing the pain felt in the veins.
  • Injury. Injuries can also cause muscle stiffness. The affected area will be massaged to loosen up the muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.

Find relief with MEX Physio:

If you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed above, or another condition that you think could benefit from myofascial release, contact our Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON physiotherapy offices today. At your initial appointment, our physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive exam to determine if the myofascial release will be the best course of treatment for you. At MEX Physio, physiotherapists are dedicated to providing the best quality treatment for your individual needs. Don’t let stiff, tight, or constricted muscles limit your life any longer! Contact us in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON today for relief.

I went to MEX Physio as I was experiencing some pain in my lower back. After just one session, I was impressed with Gaya. What I find most valuable is her approach to treatment, which is to address the root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms.It has been three sessions and I cannot believe the flexibility and mobility I have gained. She has earned a customer for life!

Highly Recommend!I worked with Shiv Shankar Chokalingam for my shoulder issues, and he was amazing. He’s friendly, easy to talk to, and knows what he’s doing.After his sessions, my shoulder got so much better. I’m really happy with the progress. If you need help with any physical problems, I definitely recommend going to Shiv!

My experience with Mex Physio has been wonderful so far. Service from my physiotherapist alone is exceptional. Maria listens to you wholeheartedly and works towards your needs and concern(s). Front desk personnel goes beyond their way to accommodate your needs without feeling sense of helplessness. I recommend anybody who's looking for any kind of wellness service to give Mex Physio a try

My 13-year-old son recently injured his knee, and we were fortunate to have Shiv Shankar as his physiotherapist. From the very first session, it was clear how caring, patient, and dedicated Shiv is. He took the time to thoroughly understand my son’s condition and tailored a treatment plan that was both effective and manageable.Shiv’s approach was not only professional but also incredibly supportive. He ensured my son felt comfortable and motivated throughout his recovery process. His attention to detail and genuine concern for my son’s well-being made a significant difference in his progress.We are deeply grateful for Shiv’s exceptional care and expertise. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding physiotherapist. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of physiotherapy.
