How Often To Do Myofascial Release?

Individual results may vary. One session per week is generally recommended for some chronic conditions for the first four to six weeks, after which reassessment is done. The result of the reassessment will determine whether treatment should be continued weekly or monthly. Many variables play a role in the healing process. Many patients report reduced discomfort or improved range of motion after just one session.

However, depending on treatment goals and current condition, weekly, biweekly, or biweekly sessions for four to 12 weeks are a reasonable estimate of the time needed. As we are always teaching you how to take care of your body, we try to convert patients to monthly or seasonal as quickly as possible.

Just as most bodies are unique, so are treatment regimens. It is important to note that treatment regimens vary from person to person. MFR is most successful when multiple treatments are performed in a shorter period, depending on the severity of the problem or desired results.

It is recommended to start with weekly sessions. Your body’s ability to recover and your overall health will determine how often you exercise. Contrary to popular belief, the less healthy you are, the less likely someone is to tolerate this type of intervention.

Therefore, the frequency of treatment can be increased as health and performance improvement. This is because the less healthy a person is, the slower the healing process of any injury will be. The first visit will be dedicated to the global assessment of your body and your first treatment.

The initial assessment identifies goals, functional abilities, and areas of fascia that appear restricted, and determines the loss of mobility or loss of symmetry in the body.

The following treatments usually include:

• It is held weekly
• Get rid of the cascading effects of limitations
• Participate in functional retraining and teach self-care strategies
• Allow at least 30 minutes, but ideally, 55 minutes or more per session
• It is performed by a trained physical therapist who sees only 1 patient at a time
• It is performed in a relaxing, private treatment room

How long does a myofascial release session last?

All initial sessions last approximately one hour. The session begins with a story, followed by assessment and hands-on treatment. After that, the duration of the session varies depending on your needs or preferences, but it usually lasts for an hour.
