What Are Myofascial Mobilizations?

Myofascial mobilizations, or MMs, are another massage therapy technique known as myofascial release techniques because they work by releasing trigger points in muscle tissue. Trigger points are areas where there's increased sensitivity in the muscle fibers, causing pain when pressed. These trigger points can cause pain in any area of the body, but they tend to occur in the lower back, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.

The best way to treat trigger points is to use myofascial release therapy (MFRT). This technique involves using gentle pressure to release the tightness in muscles. To get the most out of myofascial mobilizations, you can book an appointment with a massage therapist who specializes in MFRT.

Why Do Myofascial Mobilizations in Massage Work?

A MM releases tension in muscles and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). This helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relieve pain.

Myofascial Release (MMR) is a technique used to treat muscle spasms, chronic pain, and other conditions. The goal of MMR is to release tightness in the fascia (connective tissue) around muscles. Fascia surrounds every muscle in our bodies, and if there is too much tension in the fascia, it can cause pain and stiffness. When we perform a MM, we use gentle pressure to break up the fascia and allow the muscles to relax. In addition to relieving pain, MM helps improve range of motion and flexibility. It also reduces inflammation and improves blood flow.
