Myofascial release (MFR) therapy focuses on releasing muscular shortness and tightness.
Myofascial release refers to the manual technique for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia and muscles.
This technique is used to reduce tension in a fascial layer which is in between skin and muscle.
It helps it return the fascia to its fluid motion simultaneously reducing pain and muscle stiffness.
It can be done manually or with help of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation.
