MFR Myofascial Release Therapy

MFR (Myofascial Release) therapy is conducted by a registered chiropractor and is a natural, safe, and medication-free pain treatment that effectively alleviates pain caused by inflammation in the fascia due to muscle overuse or injury.

Chiropractors use specialized "medical-grade fascia tools" in combination with "myofascial techniques" to release tightened muscles and fascia instantly, providing immediate relief from pain. This therapy also promotes blood circulation, enhances the body's repair capability, increases joint flexibility, reduces the risk of injury, and helps individuals regain their mobility and comfort.

FAQ: MFR Myofascial Release Therapy

1. Does MFR therapy hurt?

Mild soreness or pulling sensations may occur during treatment, but this is usually a normal response. Most patients feel relaxed and light after treatment.

2. How many MFR treatments are needed for effectiveness?

Generally, patients may feel improvement after 1-3 sessions, while those with chronic pain or long-term strain typically require 4-6 sessions, along with daily stretching for better outcomes.

3. What distinguishes MFR therapy from regular massage? What pain conditions can it treat?

MFR therapy is performed by registered chiropractors using fascia tools and techniques to target deep myofascia. It effectively alleviates neck and shoulder pain, back pain, strain-related discomfort, posture-related issues, and joint mobility limitations. Regular massage, conducted by massage therapists, typically focuses on surface-level pressure without medical-grade tools, resulting in less lasting effects.

4. Is MFR therapy suitable for everyone?

Most individuals, especially those with persistent neck and shoulder discomfort, chronic strain or posture-related pain, and sports injuries, can benefit. However, individuals with severe acute injuries or long-term illnesses should consult their family doctor or a specialist before undergoing therapy.

5. What should I pay attention to after MFR therapy?

It is recommended to hydrate adequately, avoid intense physical activity immediately after, and follow any stretching exercises suggested by the therapist to maintain fascial relaxation and prolong pain relief effects.

6. How long does a single MFR treatment take?

MFR therapy, conducted by a registered chiropractor, typically lasts about 15 minutes, utilizing various fascia tools and myofascial techniques to address tight myofascia.

As a non-invasive treatment, side effects are nearly zero. Some patients may experience mild soreness or temporary discomfort after treatment, which usually subsides within 1-2 days.

8. Can MFR therapy be combined with other treatments?

Yes, MFR therapy is often combined with exercise therapy, rehabilitation, chiropractic adjustments, or physical therapy for enhanced results, helping to comprehensively eliminate pain and improve mobility, ensuring longer-lasting treatment effects.
