Health Benefits of Myofascial Release

As a society we are learning more and more about the Health Benefits of Myofascial Release. It provides benefits for young, old and everyone in between. It has a range of benefits such as helping athletes train, improving joint movement and stiffness, and improving mental health.


Here are some benefits of Myofascial Release for your body:

- Muscle relaxation: It helps reduce and eliminate stored tension in muscles, which aids in alleviating aches and pains.


- Suppression or reduction of trigger point sensitivity and pain: SMR promotes the release of endorphins to help reduce pain.


- Reduced soreness and improved tissue recovery: It increases circulation, allowing oxygen and other nutrients to reach the muscles and other soft tissues.


- Improved joint range of motion, which helps restore optimal length-tension relationships: It helps prepare joints for increased range of motion and loads that accompany stretching, strengthening and other dynamic movement exercises.


- Reduced adhesions and scar tissue that improves the elasticity of muscles and other soft tissues, to improve movement and reduce pain.


- Regulation of the production of compounds called cytokines, which play a role in decreasing inflammation.


- Increased activity in the mitochondria of cells, helping promote repair and growth of muscle tissue.


- Improved neuromuscular efficiency.


- Decreased neuromuscular hypertonicity.


- Decreased overall effects of stress on the human movement system.
