Myofascial Release
In this interactive and challenging seminar you will learn the science and clinical application of Myofascial release.
Myofascial-release is a type of physical therapy often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in your myofascial tissues. These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout your body. The pain usually originates from specific points within your myofascial tissues called “trigger points.”
Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points. It’s not always easy to understand what trigger point is responsible for the pain. Localizing pain to a specific trigger point is very difficult. For that reason, it is often used over a broad area of muscle and tissue rather than at single points.
This class is presented as 14 or 16 continuing education hours.
