What Is the Difference between Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage?

Our team at RCMC Chiropractic Center serves Ranch Cucamonga with quality care for your whole body. If you have been dealing with muscular pain that your massage therapist has been unable to resolve, it may be time for the targeted treatment of myofascial release at the hands of one of our skilled chiropractors.

Should You Receive Myofascial Release or Deep Tissue Massage for Your Pain and Tension?

It depends on your needs and preference. A deep tissue massage from a massage therapist can be incredibly relaxing and leave you feeling pretty great, but it may not specifically address the areas in your fascia that are causing your pain.

An appointment with a chiropractor for myofascial release will address the specific need in the exact spot where your pain radiates, also called trigger points. Combining chiropractic adjustments with myofascial release treatments enables the chiropractor to address your treatment with a more holistic approach. This means increased efficiency and pain relief.

The Difference between Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage

Myofascial release generally addresses specific areas in the fascia. Massage therapy addresses a larger area and is focused on a superficial working of broad muscle groups. You can enjoy an hour of massage therapy with a skilled therapist and come out feeling relaxed but still have those fascia knots that will cause pain and reduced mobility. Myofascial release at the hands of a chiropractor quickly and efficiently works the specific spots under the skin that are bound up.
