Myofascial Release Douglaston

Myofascial Release occurs when light pressure is put on the points of tension, pushing the damaged tissue gently. It can be used on very small, localized areas as well over larger areas such as the torso, arms, and legs. It differs from massage in that MFR can be very localized and is very gentle and tailored to each patient’s body and needs.

Someone practicing MFR listens to the cues of the patient’s body and works at pace in line with the body’s needs. Massage is usually much more forceful and often pushes the body’s pain limits to achieve results.

Helping people in New York aged 40+ get their lives back again - avoiding pain killers, surgeries and multiple trips to doctor's offices. Minutes away from Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges, Cross Island Parkway and Clearview Expressway.

Treat pain and discomfort without medicine, surgery and medical procedures.

Myofascial Release Murray Hill : The Approach

The myofascial release approach is not just an assembly of techniques.

It creates a whole body awareness that allows our therapists to facilitate change, growth and the possibility of total resolution of restrictions, emotions and belief systems which can impede a patient’s progress.

Myofascial Release will safely and gently release the entire fascial system for lasting and comprehensive results and whole body healing.

Our therapists are trained in the John F. Barnes, PT Myofascial Release approach as it has consistently proven to have produced results in patients that last.

In this technique, we use gentle sustained pressure or pulling on the body.

Our therapists detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia and restore movement.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Fascia is the connective tissue that covers all the body’s living cells from your head to your toes.

If you only had fascia, there would be a complete outline of every muscle, bone and organ inside the body. More specifically, Myofascia is the connective tissue that covers the muscles and tendons.

Your fascia contains a pattern of tension that can be changed based on poor circulation, posture, tight or restrictive clothing, surgeries, scar tissue, acute injuries, and more.

The fascia can “bunch up” in places so that the layers are no longer uniform but instead have knots, similar to abnormal knots in a piece of lumber.

These form restrictions as we use and move our bodies in different ways it might not be used to. It can be very painful if the fascia is pulled tight and stretched in places where it’s not meant to, resulting in tissue damage.

Myofascial Release is all about relaxation and comfort so the practitioner can work effectively and access every layer of fascia while improving the patient’s health, posture, flexibility, circulation, alleviating their pain and any muscle tension.
