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.
