The Many Advantages Of Myofascial Release Massage

By Bonnie Contreras


One of the fastest trends in the massages and medical community is myofascial release massage (MRM) which is reported to be hugely beneficial. Traditional therapy is more focused towards relaxing and loosening muscles through pressure application and gentle manipulation. MRM goes further using the theorem that connective tissues and muscles store tension and stress. This makes them become stiff and locked, resulting in pain and discomfort. The therapy works towards relieving this through stretching.

A therapist first identifies the troubled areas in the body through massage. Stretches are then used to open connective tissues and muscles which are holding up the stress. This treatment focuses intensely on muscles as well as ligature. The stretches are usually intense. In some cases, the therapists use traction gadgets to help clients achieve difficult poses.

The therapy has various advantages, the main one being pain relief. It could help reduce the pain brought about by other conditions. As with similar physical routines, one is advised to consult a physician before they can start on the treatment. The doctor could either advise against it or offer directions on how to go about the therapy, depending on prevailing physical health.

Most doctors prescribe the therapy for people suffering from back pain, fibromyalgia and other health issues that are associated with muscles. It's often used as part of a inflammation relief program, because clients usually feel less discomfort after the treatment. The therapy can also be used to manage pains of a different type, including ones associated with anxiety, chronic fatigue and severe tension. It's even been used for muscular-skeletal system and repetitive physical injuries.

It also loosens tight muscles and tissues. Some health practitioners claim that tightness occurring within connective tissues is what causes muscles to restrict themselves. This leads to back pain and motion loss. Inflammation, injuries, stress, poor posture and trauma are thought to be catalysts of this tightness. The therapy loosens and frees the associated connective tissues and is thought to also be of help in injuries that are of a physical nature.

MRM is also linked with mood elevation. One is accorded a higher sense of well-being and relaxation. Other benefits include reduced cortisol, blood pressure and heart rate levels. However, these benefits have not been studied deeply enough to establish the connection existing between the therapy and its claimed benefits. Nevertheless, most medical practitioners support it due to the existing anecdotal evidence.

Besides making you feel good, it also helps relieve the discomfort brought about by numerous medical conditions. Patients who engage in it may also benefit from other forms of noninvasive care which aim to relieve pain and keep joints and muscles warm and loose. It can be used as a complement and precursor to other treatments. These include physical and occupational therapy, manipulation and acupuncture. It can also improve skeletal and muscular alignment before surgery and help athletes align their bodies better before competing in their respective sports.

Myofascial release massage can assist patients in preparing for other strengthening treatments that are more aggressive. People with limited movements and flexibility could also use it to relieve pain. This may enable them resume normal functions and movements.
