Chronic myofascial pain is different from the occasional muscle soreness created by an extra challenging workout or a weekend of painting.  Myofascial pain syndrome is ongoing, with pain being sent from sensitive areas known as trigger points in certain muscles or connective tissues to other, seemingly unrelated, areas of your body.

At 5-Point Myotherapy, our professional therapists are experienced in addressing the pain that comes from chronic muscle contraction.  Myofascial therapy involves gentle traction, pressure and positioning your joints in different angles that create a natural stretch.  Along with encouraging muscle spasms to relax, it also helps break up adhesion in the affected fascia.

The relaxing effects of soft tissue release are cumulative, which means that regular sessions help bulid and maintain health.  By targeting not only the contracted muscle or fascia that triggers pain in other areas of the body, but also addressing the stress that may have caused such muscle tightness in the first place, Myofascial therapy is a powerful weapon in battling pain.
