Why Myofascial Release Doesn't Work for Chronic Pain (And What DOES!)

Interesting

Ah yes, breaking fascia apart in your body, sure sounds like a good idea. I'm sorry but that just doesn't sound right and I've never seen any evidence of that being a solution.

What studies have you done or looked at that show myofascial release doesn’t work on chronic pain? I’m interested in learning as much as I can about fascia.

Sir, what you are doing is call myofacial as well. Myofacial is a set of techniques, not just compression. There is a misconception to think myofacial is just press and pull. You need to understand the facial system to achieve pain relief.

Hmm. Yes, it HAS helped me a lot.

what is the permanent cure for myofascial pain syndrome where the taut bonds do not come back anymore?

Use a 10 pound sand medicine ball to break it apart piece by piece I didn’t hurt my self at all no bruises I slowly broke my extreme body fascia adhesions that was killing me and made it impossible for me to get cracked or stretch this way of fixing your unaligned body should be the new way of how people help people with their suffering also bouncing on a ball helps but mostly bumping against the sand ball broke my extremely bad fascia adhesion that was keeping me stiff and out of place making me sick and tired and slowly killing me we all need to stretch this way we all have fascia adhesion that makes us stiff and live in pain and discomfort

Hi, I have permanent nerve damage in my c4, c5, c6. The cervical fusion was not successful. I get massive knots at the base of my skull. More on the right side of the cervical spine. The knots are hard and solid. The pain in very intense. The ability to move my neck is painful. I get massive migraines that just take me down. I get nauseous, dizzy tired. There is pressure on my optical nerve as well causing my right eye to have pain. I go to pain management but getting no where. It's almost like they don't know what to do. I had trigger point injections. They helped , But only for a few days. And I'm right back where I started. Any ideals on why these knots don't go away or even shrink in size. I had a MRI today. I need to wait for the results. Where are you located in nj? I'm in pennsylvania
