Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialized therapeutic technique designed to alleviate muscle soreness, enhance circulation, and restore optimal mobility. By targeting and releasing adhesions, tension, and restrictions—commonly referred to as “knots”—within the fascial network, MFR facilitates the restoration of proper blood flow and nutrient delivery to the musculature. This process supports the body’s innate ability to return to its natural, balanced state of function. Through precise, sustained pressure, MFR addresses the underlying causes of discomfort, promoting lasting relief and improved physical performance.
We Utilize a Variety of
Comprehensive Treatment Modalities
At Midwest Myofascial Release Center, we employ a diverse array of evidence-informed modalities to optimize therapeutic outcomes. Myofascial Release (MFR) Therapy anchors every treatment session, serving as the cornerstone of our approach. Our highly skilled therapists bring expertise in a broad spectrum of complementary techniques, ensuring a holistic and individualized experience tailored to each client’s needs
Myofascial Release Unwinding
Myofascial Unwinding is a dynamic process that encourages the body to move naturally into significant three-dimensional positions. This technique not only enhances tissue flexibility and structural alignment but also facilitates the release of subconscious memories, emotional states, and belief systems, bringing them to conscious awareness for profound healing.
Aromatherapy
Rooted in centuries of tradition, Aromatherapy harnesses the therapeutic properties of essential oils to promote well-being. When inhaled, scent molecules stimulate the olfactory nerves, directly influencing the brain—particularly the amygdala, the emotional center—yielding benefits such as relaxation, mood elevation, and stress reduction.
Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping enhances overall wellness by addressing energy blockages and promoting the free flow of qi, or vital energy. This modality increases localized blood circulation, relieves muscular tension, and reduces pain, supporting the body’s natural healing processes
Scar Tissue Release Therapy
Scar Tissue Release Therapy is an advanced, three-dimensional fascial-release method designed to minimize the formation and impact of scar tissue. By alleviating physiological restrictions, this technique restores mobility and function to affected areas, fostering long-term recovery.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, noninvasive, hands-on approach that soothes the body and mind. It focuses on the craniosacral system—encompassing the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, intracranial membranes, all 22 cranial bones, the spine, and the sacrum—to enhance neurological function, reduce tension, and promote overall balance.
Power Plate Whole Body Vibration
This advanced modality leverages PrecisionWave™ technology to deliver controlled, harmonic vibrations, activating up to 138% more muscle fibers compared to traditional exercise. It enhances strength, circulation, and recovery while supporting bone density and overall wellness in an efficient, low-impact format.
Sunlighten Infrared Sauna*
Utilizing cutting-edge infrared technology, the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna penetrates deeply to promote detoxification, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. This therapeutic experience fosters relaxation, pain relief, and cellular rejuvenation for comprehensive health benefits.
