Myofascial Release in Charlotte, NC
At Congruency Therapy & Wellness, we offer myofascial release to help active adults and anyone in pain restore healthy movement and return to the activities they love. Our Physical Therapists use gentle, targeted techniques to reduce tension, improve mobility, and address the underlying causes of your discomfort.
Myofascial release is a hands-on treatment that reduces tightness or restrictions in the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, joints, and organs. When fascia becomes restricted due to stress, injury, or overuse, it can create:
Pain
Limited mobility
Postural imbalances
Myofascial release helps restore normal tissue mobility and improve overall movement quality so you feel and move your best.
What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release is especially effective for:
People with chronic stiffness or tension
Post-injury or post-surgical including post mastectomy patients
Individuals with mobility limitations
Runners, movers, cyclists, and golfers
Anyone feeling “tight,” restricted, or stuck in their movement patterns
Who is this for?
What to Expect With Us
At Congruency, myofascial release isn’t a stand-alone service — it’s part of a comprehensive, one-on-one treatment plan with a physical therapist.
1. Detailed assessment
We identify the exact tissues, movement patterns, or positions creating your symptoms.
2. Targeted, gentle pressure
Your PT applies slow, sustained pressure to restricted areas to release tension and restore mobility.
3. Mobility + stability work
We pair hands-on treatment with specific to you corrective exercises to make longterm changes.
4. Education & movement strategy
We teach you what’s driving your tightness and strategies on how to manage it on your own.
5. Customized progression and support
Your plan is tailored to your life and your goals — not a generic protocol.
