Using myofascial therapy in conjunction with other pain-relief treatments reduces chronic pain without invasive surgery or pain medication.
Your RehabOne Medical Group physician might recommend one or more of the following types of massage:
During deep tissue massage, your provider uses forceful strokes to target deep layers of connective tissue and muscle to reduce damage from injuries.
During trigger point massage, your provider places pressure on tight muscle fibers that form from overuse and other injuries.
Your therapist uses myofascial therapy to stretch muscle fascia, restore mobility, and ease chronic pain associated with injuries, disease, aging, and immobilization.
When you arrive at a myofascial therapy appointment at RehabOne Medical Group, first you discuss your condition with your therapist, then you lie down on a comfortable massage table while your provider places pressure on various areas of your body.
Your session lasts 60 minutes. Myofascial therapy is relaxing, but you might feel slightly sore the next day.
Just about anybody benefits from myofascial therapy. If you suffer from a chronic disease or long-lasting pain and want to minimize pain medication and surgery is not an option, massage therapy can be beneficial.
However, you might not be a good candidate if you have a bleeding or blood vessel disorder, burns, slow-healing wounds, severe osteoporosis, or fractures.
