Who Might Benefit From MFR?MFR can be used to treat pain and increase mobility in patients with a wide range of conditions, including chronic back pain, neck pain, and fibromyalgia.
Also, anyone suffering from repetitive strain injuries, or muscular imbalances, which lead to overuse in isolated joints and faulty movement patterns. MFR is also very helpful in regaining proper pelvic alignment, which in turn leads to optimal alignment of the entire body. |
What is Myofascial Release?Myofascial Release (MFR) is a holistic, therapeutic approach to manual therapy, popularized by John Barnes, PT. MFR offers a comprehensive approach for the evaluation and treatment of the myofascial system, the system of tissues and muscles in the body.
This technique is designed to release restrictions such as trigger points, muscle tightness, and dysfunctions in soft tissue that may cause pain and limit motion in all parts of the body. It has shown success in decreasing pain and increasing mobility. The main tissue that MFR focuses on for release in the myofascial system is the fascia. Fascia is a fine tissue that surrounds all structures in the body including muscles, nerves, vessels, bones, and even extends down to the cellular level. MFR allows the therapist to evaluate, identify, and treat fascial restrictions. These restrictions can be caused by numerous factors, such as trauma, musculoskeletal conditions, repetitive stress syndrome, and poor posture. By applying gentle, hands-on techniques to the whole body, positive structural changes may occur, such as increased range of motion, decreased pain, and, most importantly, increased fascial mobility. In combination with traditional physical therapy, MFR can help patients return to their daily and recreational activities. |
