Myofascial Release Self-Treatment Techniques

Myofascial release self-treatment involves gentle, sustained pressure on tight or restricted areas of fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs) to reduce tension and improve movement. Techniques often include using hands, foam rollers, or massage balls to apply steady pressure over muscles and fascia, helping to release adhesions and restore flexibility. The goal is to promote relaxation, decrease pain, and enhance mobility by encouraging the fascia to lengthen and function more freely. It’s a safe, hands-on approach that typically requires patience and mindfulness to avoid overstimulation or discomfort.
