Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR)
Welcome to SPORT-FIT PHSYIO CARE Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR), a holistic and effective approach to treating chronic pain, limited mobility, and tension in the body. Our highly trained therapists use gentle, hands-on techniques to release the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs.
Through MFR, we help to alleviate pain, restore movement, and improve overall well-being. Our approach is non-invasive, drug-free, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. We work with clients of all ages and fitness levels, from athletes to those recovering from injuries or surgeries.
Our approach is non-invasive, drug-free, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. We work with clients of all ages and fitness levels, from athletes to those recovering from injuries or surgeries. MFR is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, including fibromyalgia, migraines, back and neck pain, scoliosis, TMJ disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, and tennis elbow.
During a session, the therapist will assess your posture, range of motion, and areas of pain or tension. They will then use gentle, sustained pressure on specific points of the fascia to release tension and restore movement. The therapist will work with you to find a comfortable position, whether it be lying down, seated, or standing.
MFR can provide a wide range of benefits such as alleviating chronic pain and tension in the muscles, joints, and organs, improving mobility and flexibility, enhancing athletic performance, reducing stress and tension in the body, and improving posture and alignment. It is a natural and safe alternative to traditional pain management methods such as medications and surgery.
