Myofascial relaxation  (MFR) is a manual therapy technique used to relieve tension in muscles and fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles. MFR is used to reduce pain, improve circulation and flexibility, and restore normal muscle and tissue function.

How does MFR work?

The MFR technique is based on the manual application of pressure and massage movements to specific points on the body, which allows for the relaxation of tense muscles and fascia. This method helps reduce inflammation, improves blood and lymph flow, and increases flexibility and mobility of the affected body parts. In addition, MFR contributes to the reduction of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and legs, and is effective in treating muscle tension that can occur due to stress, physical exertion, or injury.

Who benefits from MFR therapy?

• Athletes: It is used to prevent injuries, improve flexibility, and relax muscles after intense training.
• Post-operative rehabilitation: Helps restore mobility and muscle recovery after surgical procedures.
• People with muscle tension and pain: It is especially useful for reducing pain in the back, shoulders, neck and legs.

Benefits of the MFR method:

• Relieve tension and pain: Quickly relaxes muscles and reduces pain associated with tension and injuries.
• Improves circulation and flexibility: Increases blood flow, reduces inflammation and increases range of motion.
• Aids in rehabilitation: Ideal for athletes and people after surgery, promoting faster recovery and improved mobility

Contraindications: There are no specific contraindications, but it is advisable to consult a specialist before starting therapy.

Why choose MFR?

MFR is an excellent method for relaxing muscles, reducing pain and improving flexibility. This non-invasive therapy contributes to faster recovery from injuries and surgeries, and is very useful for athletes and people who want to improve their mobility and prevent injuries.
