Myofascial Release Offers Benefits to Those with Back Pain

Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. A recent meta-analysis concluded that myofascial release offers significant benefits for reducing disability in patients with low back pain. This form of treatment is often used in combination with other manual therapies and specific exercises in the management of low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.
