Myofascial Release in Tarrytown, New York - Good Life Physical Therapy

Myofascial Release

We use gentle, sustained pressure to release fascial tension, improve tissue mobility, and relieve discomfort caused by chronic tightness or injury.

What Is it?

Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on technique that targets the connective tissue (fascia) surrounding your muscles. When fascia becomes tight or restricted due to stress, injury, or posture, it can cause pain and limited motion. This technique helps reduce discomfort and improve mobility throughout the body.

Our Approach

Our therapists assess how fascial restrictions are affecting your posture, movement, and comfort. We use sustained, gentle pressure to release tension and improve mobility — especially in areas of long-standing tightness. Myofascial release is often paired with manual therapy, breathwork, or postural retraining to create deeper, longer-lasting change.

Conditions We Treat

We use sustained, gentle pressure to address fascial restrictions impacting mobility and comfort.

Conditions Commonly Treated:

• Chronic neck or low back pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Pelvic floor tension
• Diaphragmatic restriction
• Post-surgical adhesions
• Hip pain
• Neck and back pain
• Scoliosis

What Can I Expect

We start by evaluating postural habits, tension areas, and soft tissue mobility. If indicated, we’ll apply slow, sustained pressure to fascia and muscular layers, helping tissues lengthen and unwind. Sessions are calm and intentional, and may be combined with breathing, stretching, or movement retraining for longer-lasting results.

What Are the Benefits

• Decreased tension in stubborn tissue layers
• Improved posture and breathing mechanics
• Relief from chronic pain and restriction
• Enhanced mobility and flexibility
• Calmer nervous system through gentle pressure

Additional FAQs

What does myofascial release feel like?
It’s slow and sustained — often more subtle than deep tissue massage, but incredibly effective for long-term tension and restriction.  Most people feel light warm pressure where treatment is occurring and feel more freedom with movement after.

Will it help with my posture or alignment?

Yes! Releasing fascial tension can reduce pulling or imbalance in your body that affects posture and movement.
