Myofascial Release in Annapolis, MD

Release Tension, Restore Mobility, and Relieve Chronic Pain

Myofascial release is a specialized hands-on technique that targets restrictions in the fascia, which is the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs. At GOfit Physical Therapy in Annapolis, MD, our expert clinicians use advanced myofascial release techniques to eliminate pain, improve flexibility, and restore optimal movement patterns.

What Is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release includes a variety of manual techniques used by physical therapists to address fascial restrictions and tissue dysfunction. These techniques include:

  • Sustained Pressure Techniques: Applies gentle, prolonged pressure to release fascial restrictions and improve tissue mobility 

  • Skin Rolling & Fascial Gliding: Enhances tissue extensibility and reduces adhesions between fascial layers 

  • Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM): Uses specialized tools to detect and treat fascial restrictions 

How Does Myofascial Release Work?

Myofascial release techniques are designed to:

✔ Reduce pain by releasing tension and pressure on pain-sensitive structures 

✔ Improve flexibility by breaking down fascial adhesions and scar tissue 

✔ Restore movement patterns by eliminating restrictions that cause compensatory mechanics 

✔ Enhance circulation by improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage to affected tissues
