Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) is a soft tissue technique that is designed to resolve many musculoskeletal conditions such as headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, tennis elbow, shin splints, shoulder pain, rotator cuff injuries, back pain, neck pain and many more. MFR is performed at The ChiroDōjō by taking a precise hand or thumb contact on the affected area to tension the tissue as the patient is directed through specific ranges of motion. Many people will describe the treatment as a good pain that results in almost immediate pain reduction and an increase range of motion. For more information, please feel free to call The ChiroDōjō and talk with one of our providers.
