Myofascial Release for Reducing Chronic Pain and Injuries

Many chronic pains and aches can be linked back to old injuries that did not heal properly and end up with scarred and stretched nerves and fascia. This leads to chronic aches that can occur during certain times (such as when it rains!) or is a constant dull ache. It can be very difficult to get rid of these aches through conventional means as there is not much in accepted medical science that focuses on scars on nerves, tissue or muscle. Most people simply accept old pains as a fact of old injuries or even age and this can be wearing and stressful on them; even if they do mot quite realize it.

 

There is no reason why people should live with chronic pain though. It decreases one’s quality of life and makes people more susceptible to depression and stress. It can lead to a dependency on pain killers and other ways of getting through the day while living with pain.

It doesn’t have to be like that; myofascial release is a gentle and effective way to reduce chronic pain from injuries. It does this by easing and stretching fascia made taut by scarred and damaged nerves, tissue, and muscle. Unwinding the tense fascia is a great way to get rid of the chronic pain that one has been living with for a long time with no relief in sight. Unwinding the fascia can also have an effect on other parts of the body as well as the fascia is connected, so you can feel pain relief in places other than the immediate area. Although permanent relief takes a few treatments, especially if you have been living with your pain for a long time, even after one session you will notice improvement, without drugs and without surgeries. This treatment will also allow you to relax mentally and emotionally which can further help with your treatment.
