The pain occurs in specific areas in these connective tissues. When you go for myofascial release massage therapy, it will ease the tightness and tension in the trigger points, thereby reducing the pain you are experiencing. It is prudent to remember pinpointing a specific trigger point is difficult, and that is why myofascial release massage is a great choice. Rather than focusing on a single point, this massage therapy works over a broad area, addressing the pain and sensitivity that you are experiencing.

How Does Myofascial Release Massage Work?

When you choose myofascial release massage therapy in Philadelphia, Justin Shelley will gently massage the areas that feel stiff and tight. Under normal circumstances, myofascial is elastic and pliable but when you have myofascial pain syndrome, the myofascial will be tight.

You can expect Justin to massage and stretch areas that feel tight and rigid. He uses light manual pressure to release the pressure from the stiff myofascial. Justin will repeat the process multiple times on the same trigger point until the tension is completely released. You may notice that Justin may not massage areas where you experience the pain. That is because this massage therapy works on a broader network of muscles that could actually be the source of the pain. Myofascial release massage is designed to address trigger points throughout your body and that is why it is so effective.
