Myofascial Stretch Therapy

How Is Stretch Therapy Different from Stretching Myself?

The differences between assisted-stretch therapy and solo stretching are stark. Having a professional guide you through assisted stretching can take your joints through deeper motions that are more beneficial toward improving flexibility and movement.

Our stretch therapists have a deep understanding of the body, with a sharp focus on soft tissues. Their insight into how muscles and joints function allows for the safe execution of stretches that stretching alone can’t achieve.

Many times people who say that stretching hurts haven’t learned the proper techniques yet. The pressure it has on your muscles and joints is supposed to feel therapeutic as it releases tension. However, many push their bodies too far, and this causes further pain and injury.

What is Myofascial Pain?

It’s a chronic disorder resulting from trigger points causing pain in your muscles and sometimes in unrelated body parts. This is known as referred pain.

Another key symptom is the loss of sleep. If you wake each morning feeling unrefreshed, it very well could be from myofascial conditions. Firstly, the pain can prevent you from falling asleep, and when you do, your body fails to rest as it fights inflammation and disease.

Over time, the lack of sleep can negatively impact your mood, energy, relationships, and performance. Our Palm Beach Health Center team is a phone call away from setting your body on the right track to recovery.
