Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can help relieve pain and improve function by releasing tension and tightness in the fascia - the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles and organs. This can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing chronic pain, sports injuries, or post-surgery recovery. At LMC Physical Therapy in Lubbock, TX, we utilize the Graston Technique.

​

What is Graston Technique? The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy that uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to identify and treat soft tissue injuries, such as strains, sprains, and muscle knots. The therapist uses these tools to apply a controlled force to the soft tissue adhesions, which can break down scar tissue, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body's natural healing response. The process of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) can help restore the normal function of the affected tissue, reducing pain and improving movement and flexibility.
