Myofascial therapy is a specialized form of manual therapy that targets the myofascial tissues — the connective tissues that surround and support muscles throughout the body. This therapy is designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function by releasing tension and restrictions within the fascia. At Palm Coast Health, our skilled practitioners use myofascial therapy to help patients achieve better flexibility, reduce discomfort, and support their overall wellness journey.
Myofascial therapy works by applying gentle, sustained pressure to the myofascial tissues, helping to release tightness and restore the body’s natural alignment. This technique is especially beneficial for patients suffering from chronic pain, tension, and restricted movement, offering a holistic approach to musculoskeletal health.
