Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release in Scottsdale
Muscle tension and restricted soft tissue can affect the way you move, perform, and feel. Myofascial release is a hands-on therapy designed to address areas of tightness and restriction within the muscles and fascia, helping restore healthier movement and reduce discomfort.
Dr. Matt Tanneberg uses targeted pressure and movement to identify and treat areas of soft tissue restriction. By addressing the tissues that may be contributing to pain or limited mobility, myofascial release can be an effective part of a personalized treatment plan for athletes, active individuals, and anyone dealing with muscle tension or movement limitations.
How Myofascial Release Works
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles and other structures throughout the body. When soft tissue becomes tight or restricted, it can contribute to discomfort, reduced flexibility, and changes in the way your body moves.
During myofascial release, Dr. Matt applies precise, controlled pressure to targeted areas while incorporating movement when appropriate. This hands-on approach is designed to improve soft tissue mobility, reduce tension, and help restore more natural movement.
Treatment can be used on a variety of areas, including the neck, shoulders, back, hips, legs, and other areas affected by muscular tension or restriction.
