Myofascial release therapy is often performed to localized areas of complaint. When Dr. Varela performs myofascial release, it typically involves putting pressure and tension through some of the tight and irritated muscles. While the muscle is under this tension, the muscle is then stretched. Like a deep massage, myofascial release therapy works on trigger points or tight bands of muscle that have built up toxins such as lactic acid. It can help relax the tight bands of muscles, break up scar tissue from micro-trauma, restore blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and help restore motion to the area. Soft Tissue Massage Therapy is a targeted form of massage and can be used together with chiropractic and/or osteopath treatment or on its own.
