Massage Therapy Can Bring Myofascial Release in Warrington PA

Myofascia, or the connective tissue around the muscles, pervades the entire body. Because of this, myofascial pain can be far reaching and can come in the form of many different types of body pain. To ease and relieve such pain, myofascial release is necessary. Therapeutic massage is particularly effective in bringing about myofascial release. In fact, myofascial release massage therapy is a highly regarded massage therapy modality like reflexology massage therapy, Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy, sports massage therapy and pregnancy massage therapy. People from Bucks County, Doylestown, Warminster, Horsham, Willow Grove, Abbington, Ambler, Chalfont, New Hope, Newtown, Richboro, South Hampton and Lansdale can ask for myofascial release massage therapy as they avail of reflexology massage therapy, Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy, sports massage therapy and pregnancy massage therapy given by professional massage therapists of reputable therapeutic massage spas in Warrington PA.

There are two different types of fascia. One type is made of elastic fibers that are very stretchable. The other type is made of tough collagen fibers that practically do not stretch. Most of the fascia in the body is vertically oriented. There are four major planes, though, that are horizontally oriented. They are the cranial base fascia, thoracic inlet fascia, respiratory diaphragm fascia and pelvic diaphragm fascia. These are very dense.

All fascia are interconnected throughout the body. Once fascia is tightened or restricted in any area, it pulls on other fascia. This results in pain in other parts of the body that seem unrelated to the tightened area. Fascia has an estimated tensile strength of 2000 pounds per square inch. Such a powerful pull can give much pain.

Myofascial tightening or restrictions can be caused by disease, injury, scarring, adhesions, hardening from inflammation, previous surgery or chronic tension.

When doing myofascial release massage therapy, the therapist applies very light pressure on the area and holds it for a certain period. This gently stretches and softens the tightened tough fascia, causing it to let go of its tension. It takes skill, sensitivity and long experience for a massage therapist to have the ability to locate the source of restriction and fascial tightening.

The released myofascia can revert to its previous tightened state, though, unless the myofascial release massage therapy is done two to three times a week, with the patient doing appropriate stretching and range of motion exercises during the days between massage sessions. Three to four months of treatment are needed to resolve chronic myofascial pain.

Although myofascial release massage therapy has been proven to be very effective for long term pain relief, some patients may experience a temporary increase in pain and discomfort immediately after a session and up to a day afterwards. This is caused by the sudden release of metabolic toxins that had been trapped in the restricted areas. The sudden flood of such toxins in the bloodstream can also result in lightheadedness, nausea and other discomforts. The patient is advised to drink plenty of water to immediately flush out these metabolic wastes.

Myofascial release massage therapy indeed provides much pain relief. Aside from that, it also provides many other health benefits like those given by other massage therapy modalities such as reflexology massage therapy, Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy, sports massage therapy and, if pregnant, pregnancy massage therapy. Of course, like all these other massage modalities, myofascial release massage therapy is safe and all natural. It is also very affordable and easily accessible to many. Residents from Bucks County, Doylestown, Warminster, Horsham, Willow Grove, Abbington, Ambler, Chalfont, New Hope, Newtown, Richboro, South Hampton and Lansdale, for example, can avail of myofascial release massage therapy along with reflexology massage therapy, Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy, sports massage therapy and pregnancy massage therapy from therapeutic massage spas in Warrington PA.
