At Adjust New York, we offer Myofascial Therapy, a specialized treatment designed to target and relieve chronic muscle pain, tightness, and dysfunction in the fascial system. This hands-on therapy is highly effective for addressing pain, tension, and movement restrictions caused by tightness in the muscles and fascia. Whether you’re dealing with muscle stiffness, post-injury pain, or general discomfort, Myofascial Therapy can help restore balance to your body and promote healing.

What is Myofascial Therapy?

Myofascial Therapy focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. When the fascia becomes tight or restricted due to injury, poor posture, stress, or overuse, it can lead to pain, discomfort, and limited movement. Myofascial Therapy targets these tight areas (often referred to as “trigger points”) using precise techniques to release tension and improve the flexibility and function of the muscles and fascia.

How Myofascial Therapy Works:

The process of Myofascial Therapy involves applying sustained pressure, gentle stretching, and manual manipulation to the fascia and muscle tissue. The therapist at Adjust New York will use specific techniques to locate and treat areas of tension and dysfunction within the fascia. These techniques may include:

Active Release Techniques (ART): A method that combines movement and pressure to release adhesions and break up scar tissue, improving muscle function and reducing pain.

Gentle Pressure: Direct pressure is applied to specific points on the fascia and muscles to release tightness and promote blood flow.

Stretching: Stretching the fascia helps to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore normal muscle function.

Myofascial Release: A technique that targets areas of restriction and “knots” in the fascia, allowing the tissue to relax and realign.

Common Conditions Treated with Myofascial Therapy:

Myofascial Therapy is effective for treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Chronic Muscle Pain: Long-standing muscle tension or discomfort due to poor posture, stress, or overuse can be alleviated with myofascial therapy.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A condition where tight, painful muscle knots (trigger points) form within the muscle tissue, leading to referred pain in other areas of the body.
• Back and Neck Pain: Tightness in the muscles and fascia in the back and neck often leads to stiffness and discomfort, which can be addressed with myofascial therapy.
• Fibromyalgia: A chronic condition characterized by widespread muscle pain and tenderness that can be eased through myofascial release and relaxation techniques.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Restricted fascia and muscle tightness in the forearm and wrist can contribute to this condition, which may benefit from myofascial therapy.
• Headaches and Migraines: Tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back can lead to tension headaches, which can be alleviated through myofascial techniques.
• Sports Injuries: Whether you’re recovering from a sprain, strain, or other sports-related injury, myofascial therapy can help relieve pain and restore function.

Benefits of Myofascial Therapy at Adjust New York:

• Pain Relief: By targeting and releasing trigger points and tight fascia, myofascial therapy provides significant relief from chronic muscle pain, stiffness, and discomfort.
• Improved Flexibility and Mobility: Stretching and manipulation of the fascia helps to increase the range of motion, allowing for better movement and flexibility.
• Stress Reduction: Myofascial therapy promotes relaxation by relieving muscle tension and reducing the effects of chronic stress on the body.
• Enhanced Circulation: The therapy helps to increase blood flow to the treated areas, aiding in tissue repair and recovery.
• Faster Recovery from Injury: Myofascial therapy helps release adhesions and scar tissue, accelerating the healing process and improving muscle function after an injury.
• Improved Posture: By addressing tension and imbalances in the muscles and fascia, myofascial therapy can help correct postural issues, reducing strain on the spine and joints.
