Myofascial Decompression

Myofascial Decompression - How Myofascial Decompression Works:

Suction Application: During MFD, cups made of glass, silicone, or plastic are placed on the skin, and a vacuum is created, either manually or with a pump. This pulls the skin and superficial layers of fascia upward, creating a decompressive effect.
Increased Blood Flow and Healing: The suction encourages blood flow to the area, delivering oxygen and nutrients while flushing out waste products. This stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and reduces inflammation.
Tissue Mobilization: By separating the layers of tissue, MFD can help release adhesions and allow muscles and fascia to glide more freely, reducing tension and discomfort.

Conditions Treated with MFD:

MFD is commonly used to address conditions like:

Muscle tightness and soreness
Myofascial pain syndrome
Scar tissue and adhesions
Restricted range of motion
Chronic back and neck pain
Overuse injuries, such as tendonitis and plantar fasciitis

Benefits of Myofascial Decompression:

MFD can lead to reduced pain, improved flexibility, and a quicker recovery. By enhancing tissue mobility and reducing tension, MFD complements other physical therapy techniques, such as stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy, to optimize overall movement and functional performance. The treatment is well-tolerated by most people and can provide immediate relief for some conditions.

Spinal Manipulation: Joint Mobilization– Joint mobilization is a gentler, slower approach that involves applying controlled pressure to a joint. The physical therapist moves the joint within its normal range in small, oscillating motions, gradually increasing the range as tolerance allows. Mobilization is often used to treat stiffness and improve joint mobility, especially in individuals recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic pain conditions.
