Frequently Asked Questions
Why combine Chiropractic care with myofascial release?
It is important to get movement in the joints re-established but the muscles must be addressed as well to achieve stability.
Benefits
1 – By balancing the muscles after the treatment we head off the probability that tight muscles will pull the bony structures back out of position or keep them from moving normally.
2 – Myofascial release also helps the muscle wake up and tone, so that as you progress in your return to health, your muscles will be ready to handle further strengthening exercises.
3 – Facilitation of the muscles also has an ability to relax tense muscles which then helps you feel more relaxed in general.
