Myofascial Release

At DuPont Wellness Mobile Physical Therapy, Dr. Corey understands the importance of utilizing various techniques to promote optimal healing and recovery. One such technique he commonly employs is myofascial release. This therapeutic approach specifically targets the fascia, the connective tissue that holds everything in place throughout the body.


Myofascial release targets restrictions within the fascia, aiming to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and restore proper movement patterns. This hands-on technique involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching to release tension and restore normal function in affected areas.


The uses of myofascial release in physical therapy are abundant. It is particularly effective in treating conditions such as chronic pain, muscle imbalances, postural issues, and sports-related injuries. By focusing on the fascia, myofascial release complements other therapies, including joint mobilization, exercise prescription, and pain management techniques.


The benefits of myofascial release extend beyond pain relief. Patients who undergo this treatment often experience improved posture, increased range of motion, and enhanced athletic performance. Additionally, myofascial release promotes relaxation and reduces stress, addressing both physical and emotional well-being.


At DuPont Wellness Mobile Physical Therapy, Dr. Corey tailors myofascial release to each individual's unique needs and condition. He utilizes his expertise to locate restrictions within the fascia and apply appropriate techniques. These may include direct myofascial release, where pressure is applied directly on the affected area, or indirect myofascial release, where the he moves slowly through the layers of connective tissue.


By providing mobile physical therapy services, DuPont Wellness ensures that patients can receive myofascial release therapy in the comfort of their own homes or at a location convenient for them. Dr. Corey will bring all the necessary equipment and expertise, allowing for a seamless and personalized experience.


In conclusion, myofascial release is a valuable technique employed by DuPont Wellness Mobile Physical Therapy to address a wide range of conditions. Through targeted release of fascial restrictions, this therapy promotes pain relief, improved mobility, and overall well-being. Whether it's chronic pain or postural issues, our team is dedicated to using myofascial release to help our patients unlock tension and restore movement for a better quality of life.
