What is myofascial tissue?

Myofascial tissue is connective tissue that spreads throughout the entire body. This exists in a three-dimensional web expanding from your head to your feet without interruption. Myofascial restrictions can result in extreme pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bones, and organs. Normal fascial tissue has the ability to stretch and relax.

Myofascial tissue can not be seen in tests like an MRI or x-ray. If you’re experiencing soft tissue pain, it is important to be evaluated by an experienced physical therapist to see if your symptoms are due to a myofascial restriction. These restrictions can lead to disorders that present themselves in many ways. These may include muscle weakness and tightness, or disorders of the digestive and reproductive systems. Many conditions of the pelvic floor and related systems can be successfully treated by Dr. Lauradonna D’Antoni at Body Restoration Physical Therapy, providing pelvic floor physical therapy in Long Island.

Myofascial tissue can be restricted as a result of injury and scarring, and can cause painful pressure and reduced mobility in certain parts of the body.

What is a myofascial restriction?

A myofascial restriction is the binding down of fascial tissue. This can be created by trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures. It can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on one single nerve.

Myofascial Release is a hands-on therapy performed at Body Restoration Physical Therapy which releases these restrictions. This allows the fascia to move freely and normal blood flow to the area to resume. The result is the natural and effective treatment of common men’s health and women’s health issues including those related to pelvic floor dysfunction.
