MYOFASCIAL RELEASE SANTA POLA
SANTA POLA MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TREATMENT
Myofascial release is a therapeutic technique used in physical therapy and sports medicine that aims to relieve tension and improve mobility in the body’s muscle and fascial tissues. Fascial tissue is a three-dimensional network of collagen that surrounds and connects muscles, bones, nerves, and other tissues in the body. When this tissue becomes stiff or tight due to injury, stress, poor posture, or other reasons, it can cause pain and limit mobility.

Fascia is a connective tissue containing a large amount of collagen. It is found beneath the skin and surrounds bones, muscles, joints, and nerve and vascular structures. It is responsible for protecting and holding the body’s various structures together. For various reasons, such as poor posture, stress, trauma, or prolonged immobilization, among others, the fascia can harden and shorten, causing pain and limiting the patient’s mobility. Fascia runs continuously throughout the body, so if it is injured in one part of the body, other, more distant areas can also be affected.
Therefore, the goal of the myofascial induction or myofascial release technique is to release these myofascial restrictions, thereby achieving a reduction in pain, restoring musculoskeletal balance, and increasing joint movement.
Superficial or deep techniques can be used for its application. First, the physical therapist will place the affected area at the edge of the movement barrier or the most comfortable position. The patient is then allowed to breathe calmly while the physical therapist palpates the tissues, looking for a sensation that indicates the tissue is “ready to relax.” It is at this point that the tissue is helped to follow the spontaneous movement pattern. The process is repeated over several sessions until complete release is achieved.
