Myofascial Release

Myofascial release and massage are both therapeutic techniques that address soft tissues, but they have distinct focuses.

Myofascial release (MFR) specifically targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, while massage, in general, addresses muscles and soft tissues. Both can improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function by addressing the underlying fascial restrictions and along with visceral mobilization techniques can aide in tissue healing pre and post surgical conditions.
