Understanding Vibro-Acoustic Therapy

Myofascial Release is one of many techniques that our Physiotherapists utilize to address the connective tissue network of the body called the Fascia. At Myofascial Release Mississauga, it will be included in your Physiotherapy treatments to resolve fascial restrictions that create painful pressure on underlying muscle, bone, vascular and nervous tissues.

Many of our patients report a change in their symptoms in the form of pain relief or changes in mobility within hours of their first session due to changes in connective tissue tension, relieving bracing patterns and the release of the body’s own anti-inflammatories that occurs during Myofascial Release treatment. Full resolution of symptoms typically takes 4-6 weeks of regular treatment and self care as prescribed and up to 6 months depending on the severity of the injury. Client’s suffering from chronic conditions sometimes choose to schedule regular ongoing appointments to maintain their results.

The treatment itself may elicit some deep stretching therapeutic discomfort. Pain after treatment is not typical, however, it is common to feel a little sore as if you had done exercise. On rare occasions, this post treatment soreness is more intense but doesn’t last beyond 48 hours.

No. While the intended goal for using these techniques may be the same, Myofascial Release utilizes a gentle sustained pressure approach to allow fascial restrictions to release and therefore glide freely again. Under the Myofascial Release school of thought, Fascia does not “stretch” or “lengthen”, rather it moves free from restriction.
