Myofascial release is a widely employed direct manual medicine treatment which
utilizes specifically guided mechanical forces to manipulate and reduce myofascial restrictions
of various somatic dysfunctions. Myofascial release, when used with other conventional
treatment, is effective to provide immediate relief of pain to reduce tissue tenderness.
