What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Myofascial release is a specialized manual therapy technique that targets the fascia—the thin, tough connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in your body. When fascia becomes tight, restricted, or develops adhesions due to injury, overuse, or poor posture, it can create pain, limit movement, and cause dysfunction throughout your body.
At Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park, Dr. Joseph Hugunin uses advanced myofascial release techniques to identify and treat these restrictions. Through sustained pressure and specific manual techniques, we release fascial adhesions, eliminate trigger points, and restore proper tissue mobility—addressing the root cause of your pain rather than just treating symptoms.
This hands-on approach is particularly effective for chronic pain conditions, sports injuries, and movement restrictions that haven't responded to other treatments. We serve active individuals throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, and the greater Kansas City metro area who are ready to move without pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does myofascial release feel like?
Myofascial release involves sustained pressure on tight or restricted areas. You may feel a deep stretch or mild discomfort initially, followed by a release sensation as the tissue relaxes. Most patients find it therapeutic and relieving.
How is myofascial release different from massage?
Unlike traditional massage, myofascial release targets the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles. It uses sustained pressure and specific techniques to release restrictions and restore proper tissue mobility, addressing the root cause of pain patterns.
How many myofascial release sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on your condition and goals. Many patients notice improvement within 3-5 sessions for acute issues, while chronic conditions may require ongoing care. We'll create a personalized plan during your evaluation.
