Hey everyone. I haven't visited this forum in a while. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else has heard, or had any experience, with something called "myofascial release"? I read about it online some time ago. I've been experiencing pain in my calves, and when my husband massaged them, he found a bunch of knots in my muscles. So I googled this problem, and found something called "myofascial release".
Basically, the fascia is the layer that covers the top of the muscles. For those of us with Fibromyalgia, the fascia tends to get tight and knotted. The myofascial release is supposed to help with this. It's supposed to smooth it out. The author of the online article I read said that some physical therapists use this technique, but you can also learn to do it yourself. Has anyone tried this before? Physical therapy is expensive, so I was hoping to try this out myself.
