Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR)

What is MFR treatment?

Myofascial Release (MFR) Therapy is a safe and highly effective massage technique used to treat chronic and long-standing pain problems.

 

At Grand Oak, we utilize Indiba, a device that combines MFR Therapy with Radio Frequency (RF) Heat Treatment. This device generates deep heat into the damaged tissue, promoting extracellular exchanges and muscle relaxation, thereby accelerating the healing process.

What Therapeutic Effect Does MFR Have?

Myofascial Release (MFR) with Radio Frequency Treatment is designed to accelerate healing and restore balance to the body by effectively breaking down and rearranging fascial adhesions. This allows the fascia to return to its normal state. People who suffer from chronic headaches, in particular, may find relief through MFR Treatment. By releasing tightened muscles in and around the neck and head, tension headaches can be significantly reduced.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

The young and professional team at Grand Oak TCM have been welcoming, homely and knowledgeable. They’ve put our family (5 of us and recruiting for more) at ease and have patiently answered our incessant questions (like what is this, what is that, why do we have to do this). Not just the doctor but Piwen and team have been instrumental in equipping us with know-how. I had initially gone to see Gabriel for my torn meniscus after my Ortho told me my only choice for recovery was to go for an op. While we’re still working on the knee, I have observed a significant improvement in mood, rest and appetite with the chinese medicine.

What Do I Feel During The Treatment?

Normal myofascia should feel pliable and elastic. During treatment, the therapist will gently scrape and stretch areas that feel rigid, applying light manual pressure. The therapist then assists in releasing pressure and tightness in the tissue and its supportive sheath. This process is repeated multiple times on each trigger point, as well as on other trigger points, until the therapist feels that the tension is released.

 

Myofascial release targets the broader network of muscles that may be causing your pain, aiming to reduce tension throughout your body by releasing trigger points across a wide area of your muscular system.

Any Possible Side Effects After MFR?

Myofascial release through massage therapy has very few risks. Whether you're seeking relaxation or aiming to ease back pain, massage therapy can be beneficial for pain reduction. However, in rare cases, MFR may cause some side effects, such as soreness from the release of muscle inflammation, allergic reactions to oils, gels, or lotions, or internal bleeding.
