Myofascial  or  soft  tissue  release    

Myofascial  or  soft  tissue  release  techniques  come  in  a  variety  of  forms  and  are  an   important  part  of  manual   therapy  performed  by  your  physiotherapist  or  myotherapist.    • Myofascial   techniques   are   often   deep   and   slow   and   may  use  minimal  cream.  

• Soft  tissue  techniques  may  include  effleurage,  trigger  point  therapy,  rolfing.  

These   techniques   are   useful   in   reducing   pain,   muscle   tension,  increasing   muscle   length   and   unloading   the   joints   and  surrounding  structures.
