Myofascial Release in Charleston, SC
Myofascial release uses targeted hands-on pressure and movement to address tight or sensitive muscles and connective tissue. It may be combined with chiropractic care and exercise to improve comfortable movement.
Understanding Fascia and Muscle Tension
Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles and other structures. Repetitive activity, injury, posture, or protective muscle guarding can contribute to areas of restriction and tenderness.
What Treatment May Involve
Treatment may include sustained pressure, guided movement, instrument-assisted techniques, stretching, or other soft-tissue methods based on your examination and tolerance. Some temporary tenderness can occur, so pressure is adjusted throughout the visit.
Part of a Broader Treatment Plan
Myofascial techniques are most useful when matched to a clear clinical goal. We may combine them with chiropractic adjustments, mobility work, strengthening, posture changes, or home exercises to address contributing movement patterns.
