Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands-on therapy designed to relieve tension in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles, joints, and organs. When fascia becomes tight or develops trigger points, it can cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. The purpose of myofascial release is to release these restrictions, restore mobility, and reduce pain naturally.

Benefits of Myofascial Release

  • Relieves muscle tightness and stiffness

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion

  • Reduces pain caused by trigger points

  • Enhances circulation and tissue health

  • Promotes relaxation and stress relief

  • Supports faster recovery from injuries

Long-Term Impact

Ongoing myofascial therapy helps maintain tissue mobility, prevent recurring tightness, and support long-term spinal and muscular health. When combined with chiropractic adjustments, it also helps the body hold proper alignment longer, allowing you to get the most out of your care plan. Over time, this leads to less pain, better movement, and improved overall wellness.

Myofascial Release can be highly effective for patients dealing with:

  • Chronic muscle pain and stiffness

  • Restricted mobility and flexibility

  • Postural imbalances

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Sports and repetitive strain injuries

  • Sciatica and nerve-related pain

  • Fibromyalgia and widespread muscle tension

At Elevate Chiropractic, Dr. Brett Wee often combines myofascial release with chiropractic adjustments to deliver lasting relief. By addressing both alignment and soft tissue health, this approach helps patients move more freely, recover faster, and enjoy long-term improvements in comfort and function.
