Myofascial Release

Whole-Body Health in Monterey

At New Beginnings Health Care we are experts at adressing the whole body.  To properly adress many of the conditions we see, it is important to work on the soft-tissue component of the problem.  Along with expert spinal adjustments, we also work on the tissues that support the spine and joints of the body.  

Myofascial Release/Trigger-Point Therapy

Fascia is the tough connective tissue in the body that holds everything together.  It's the glue and duct-tape of the body.  Through wear and tear from injuries, overuse and neglect these tissues become tight and pain-sensitive.  These tissues are commonly the source of chronic pain syndromes. 

At New Beginnings Health Care, we use a variety of techniques to release these tight tissues.  When this myofascitis is released the joints move freely and the nerve intereference is removed.

What You Can Expect

First, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation, looking at your posture, your ability to turn, bend and move. We’ll identify specific movements that produce increased pain or discomfort.

Then, we'll use our hands to locate the tender areas. Gently stretching the fascia and involved muscles causes them to release. This is not a massage! You’ll have some homework: drinking more water. By drinking more than your usual water intake, you’ll help flush out toxins that have built up and reduce soreness.

Your New Normal

Progress is rarely a straight line. Expect some ups and downs as your body learns it can abandon its defensive posture. As your body heals, your brain will eventually recognize your new posture and muscle tone as normal. With time, expect better movement, more strength, flexibility, improved posture and greater vitality.
