Myofascial Release Douglaston
Myofascial Release occurs when light pressure is put on the points of tension, pushing the damaged tissue gently. It can be used on very small, localized areas as well over larger areas such as the torso, arms, and legs. It differs from massage in that MFR can be very localized and is very gentle and tailored to each patient’s body and needs.
Someone practicing MFR listens to the cues of the patient’s body and works at pace in line with the body’s needs. Massage is usually much more forceful and often pushes the body’s pain limits to achieve results.
Helping people in New York aged 40+ get their lives back again – avoiding pain killers, surgeries and multiple trips to doctor’s offices. Minutes away from Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges, Cross Island Parkway and Clearview Expressway.
Treat pain and discomfort without medicine, surgery and medical procedures.
