What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on treatment designed to reduce tension and restrictions within the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and nerves throughout the body. When fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can contribute to pain, stiffness, limited mobility, and poor movement patterns.

Using gentle sustained pressure and movement-based techniques, myofascial release therapy helps loosen restricted tissue, improve circulation, and restore natural movement.

Many patients seek myofascial release therapy to relieve chronic tension, improve flexibility, reduce pain, and support recovery from injuries or overuse.

How Does Myofascial Release Therapy Work?

At Active Family & Wellness, every treatment is customized to your specific symptoms, movement limitations, and recovery goals. We focus on identifying areas of tension and restriction that may be affecting how your body moves and feels.

During treatment, targeted hands-on techniques are used to gently release tight fascia and improve mobility throughout the affected areas. This helps decrease pressure on muscles and joints while improving overall movement quality.

CrossFit athlete returning to full training after injury with guidance from ACTive Family Physical Therapy

Mick has been more than a physical therapist at CF904. He has been a team mate, and someone who has involved himself with the community. He is constantly asking how certain members are doing after he has treated them. He is always communicating what to look out for for those members he has treated, and how to help them during class. As a business partner, he has been fantastic. As a therapist, he rises above. He isn’t a “treat you forever” therapist, but one who wants to get you fixed, healed, and on your way to continue accomplishing your goals. He is very conscious of what his clients take best to as far as treatment plans and is very sensitive....

CrossFit athlete and physician training together after completing a recovery program with ACTive Family Physical Therapy

I was considering surgery, but now I don't need it!
Mick helped me overcome chronic knee pain and swelling that was interferring with my daily activities. I never felt pressured or judged if I was unable to complete my assigned exercises between appointments. He also helped me understand why I was doing each exercise so I have the knowledge to help myself in the future if I have another injury.
As a healthcare provider, I appreciated Mick's willingness to be my physical therapist and also a trusted consultant. As a
provider who does CrossFit, Mick understands the movements and how to modify them appropriately to reach my goals.
10/10 would recommend, especially if you are a CrossFit athlete!
