Overview

Myo means muscle and fascia is the connective tissue within the muscle or that connects muscles to ligaments and bones. When the mysofascial unit is contracted, tight, or damaged, it pulls organs, tissues, and bones out of alignment, adversely affecting their ability to function correctly. These restrictions can also cause pain.

Myofascial therapy consists of gentle manual manipulation, stretching, therapeutic injections of trigger points or electrical therapy. Releasing the myofascial tissues allows organs to function freely, without the structural restrictions imposed by tight connective tissue. In many cases, this alone normalizes function and relieves pain.
