Trigger Point Therapy

What is Myofascial Release (MFR)? Self-myofascial Release (SMFR), also called transcutaneous release, is a method for rehabilitation and rehab with an EMS object as a stimulus-transducer. This can be done with minimal movement or effort required from the individual. The purpose of self-myofascial Release (SMRF) is to promote neuromuscular adaptation via mechanical stresses placed on the tendons, to increase flexibility and length, to increase tissue growth factors, to increase the rate and force of muscle contraction, and also to increase the efficiency of muscular regeneration.

Myofascial Release is sometimes used in combination with other therapy modalities such as massage and acupuncture, with the goal of addressing a particular problem area. This is because, while acupuncture and massage can address general pain issues, and myofascial release works with the joints specifically, acupuncture and massage don't go below the level of their muscles. Therefore, they don't provide a comprehensive solution to back pain problems. SMRF, by contrast, goes beneath the level of the muscles, in a sort of mechanical catchall category, thus working around the most problematic areas, while also helping to protect against injury and improve overall health.

Throughout a SMRF session, the therapist will employ a constant, directed strain, either deep or shallow, to the area being treated. The range of motion will be determined by the needs of the patient, while the pressure exerted will be adapted based on previous experience with that specific area. Typically, the therapist uses a light, medium, or deep pressure, with the intent of producing an energy gradient inside the fascia and reducing tension stiffness. This gradient may also be used to improve flexibility, as the fascia will become less rigid due to the greater elasticity attained through myofascial release.

Another element of myofascial release therapy is the use of a pressure-sensitive foam roller. The foam roller targets a specific muscle group using a targeted pressure point, like the muscles of the neck and shoulders. The foam roller applies small, even pressure at a time to the muscles being treated, which in turn increases blood circulation and brings additional nutrients and oxygen to the affected muscle groups. Over time, with regular use, this procedure contributes to a decrease in soreness and inflammation, and eventually full recovery from the treatment.

While these methods are used commonly, it's important to note that there's no scientific evidence that shows their efficacy. Indeed, many practitioners believe that the application of a rolling, or some type of foam rolling, doesn't bring about any therapeutic benefit. This is because, even though the foam rollers may apply pressure to the sore area, it's not clear if the tissue beneath the roller is punctured or cut. If the tissue is punctured however, this can be a cause for pain or injury. Therefore, though some practitioners to apply these techniques with great effect, there is no evidence that these techniques provide any medical benefit beyond those previously discussed.

Perhaps the most important purpose of myofascial release is to relieve tightness in the muscles of the hip flexor, or hip flexor muscles. Tightness in this area of the body occurs as a result of excessive stress put on the hip flexor muscles when performing heavy or extended movement. As well as causing pain and dysfunction, this condition may contribute to a number of other health conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, impingement of inner organs, and chronic pain syndrome.

There are many schools of thought regarding how and why myofascial release therapy may help patients with these conditions. 출장안마 While many physical therapists use it to reduce pain due to restricted range of motion, massage therapists feel it may also relieve pain from spasms, weakness, chronic tension, immobility, and inflammation. However, despite the fact that it can reduce pain and dysfunction, it's essential that physical therapists don't apply too much pressure to the client, or myofascial release can actually be harmful. In fact, even if myofascial release is used carefully and under the supervision of a trained therapist, it may lead to harm.

Trigger Point therapy has been proven to decrease muscle stiffness and trigger points, but typically, it must be carried out on an outpatient basis, using a minimal amount of pressure applied, to achieve any benefits. In some patients, particularly those suffering from chronic conditions, it may also be quite painful. This is because trigger factors are very sensitive to sudden, sustained pressure. To minimize the pain caused by trigger point therapy, chiropractors will normally perform Trigger Point releases alongside manual therapy or soft tissue techniques to release the trigger points and decrease inflammation. This combination may lead to complete recovery and prevent tripping point associated pain from coming back again.
