Myofascial Treatment
What Is Myofascial Treatment?
Myofascial treatment is a hands-on therapy designed to relieve pain and improve movement by addressing tightness and dysfunction in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles. When fascia becomes restricted due to injury, stress, or overuse, it can create tension, pain, and limited mobility. Myofascial treatment works to release these restrictions, restore natural movement, and promote long-term healing.
How Myofascial Treatment Works
At The FARM, our approach to myofascial treatment involves targeted soft tissue techniques to break up adhesions, improve circulation, and restore functional movement patterns. We use a variety of advanced methods, including:
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) – Using specialized tools to address fascial adhesions and promote tissue remodeling.
Hands-On Myofascial Release – Applying sustained pressure to specific areas to release tension and improve movement.
Active Release Techniques (ART®) – A patented, movement-based approach to treating soft tissue injuries by combining precise manual therapy with movement.
Cupping Therapy – Utilizing suction cups to decompress tight fascia and improve blood flow.
Why Fascia Matters for Pain Relief & Performance
Fascia plays a crucial role in mobility, stability, and recovery. When restricted, it can contribute to:
✅ Chronic pain (neck, back, shoulder, and hip pain)
✅ Reduced range of motion
✅ Postural imbalances
✅ Athletic performance limitations
✅ Delayed recovery from injury
By addressing fascial restrictions, we help athletes, active individuals, and those recovering from injury move better, feel better, and perform at their highest level.
