Chronic pain and restricted movement can significantly impact your quality of life. At Living Arts Wellness in Fort Collins, we offer Myofascial Release Therapy, a specialized treatment designed to alleviate tension, reduce pain, and restore mobility by targeting the body’s fascia. Let’s explore the benefits of this therapy and how it can support your overall well-being.
What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Myofascial release therapy focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and bones. When fascia becomes tight or restricted due to injury, stress, or poor posture, it can lead to pain and limited movement. During a session, our skilled therapists apply gentle, sustained pressure to specific areas to release these restrictions, allowing the body to heal and move freely.

Benefits of Myofascial Release Therapy
Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from an injury, or dealing with chronic pain, myofascial release therapy offers numerous benefits:
- Pain Relief: This therapy targets the root cause of pain, such as trigger points and tight fascia, providing long-lasting relief.
- Improved Mobility: By releasing restrictions in the fascia, you can experience greater flexibility and range of motion.
- Enhanced Posture: Releasing tight fascia helps correct postural imbalances, reducing strain on muscles and joints.
- Stress Reduction: Gentle pressure and focused techniques promote relaxation and reduce overall stress.
Conditions Treated by Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial release therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including:
- Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Sports injuries
- Plantar fasciitis
- Post-surgical recovery
- Headaches and migraines
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, this therapy could be a game-changer for your health and mobility.
How It Works
Each myofascial release session is tailored to your specific needs. Here’s what to expect:
- Assessment: Your therapist will evaluate your posture, movement, and areas of pain or tension.
- Hands-On Techniques: Using slow, sustained pressure, the therapist works to release restrictions in the fascia.
- Gentle Approach: Unlike deep tissue massage, myofascial release focuses on light but effective pressure, making it suitable for sensitive areas.
