Everything about myofascial release at Ysveld Fysio

Do you suffer from tight muscles, stiffness in the skin, or chronic pain? Myofascial release – also known as bindweefselmassage – can help release tension and improve mobility. At Ysveld Fysio in Nijmegen, we use this method to effectively treat complaints in areas like the back, neck, shoulders, or arms.

What is myofascial release?

Fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that runs throughout your body, linking muscles, bones, and organs. It provides stability, protection, and support. In a healthy state, fascia is smooth and flexible. However, due to stress, overuse, poor posture, or lack of movement, the fascia can become tight and restricted. This often leads to stiffness, reduced mobility, and pain.

Using myofascial techniques, our therapists target these restrictions. With slow, focused pressure and long gliding strokes, the fascial layers begin to relax, blood circulation improves, and healing is stimulated in the surrounding tissues.

When is myofascial release suitable?

This therapy is appropriate for a range of complaints, including chronic muscle tension, stress-related issues, scar tissue, back and neck pain, and limited mobility. It’s also used by athletes to support recovery. If you’re experiencing persistent stiffness or unexplained pain, restricted fascia might be the root cause.

What does a myofascial release treatment plan look like?

During your first session, we’ll discuss your complaints and treatment goals. The therapist will assess fascial tension and determine the most effective approach. The treatment may feel intense at times, but it’s highly effective. We sometimes combine myofascial release with dry needling or exercise therapy for optimal results. Each plan is tailored to your body and condition.
