Mental and emotional stress can often cause more damage to an individual’s health than the stress caused by intense physical activity. Whether the patient is experiencing body aches caused by stress or other medical conditions, specialists may recommend that they book an appointment for deep tissue massage to help alleviate their pain and stress levels.
What is myofascial release?
Myofascial release is a type of therapy often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in the patient’s myofascial tissues.
Myofascial release massage is often recommended to patients who are suffering from chronic pain with an aim to reduce pain and discomfort by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points. Even for some experienced physical therapists, it is not always easy to understand what trigger point is responsible for the pain.

Localizing the pain to a specific trigger point or area is also challenging. Hence, myofascial release or deep tissue massage is often used over a broad area of muscle and tissue rather than at a single point.
What are the benefits of Myofascial massage?
Some patients may be afraid to visit a physiotherapy center because they think that the therapy will be too painful for them. There may be a little discomfort, especially when the therapist reaches the area close to the trigger points, but it also offers a lot of benefits for the patient.
