Myofascial release aims to restore alignment by stretching and manipulating the fascia (connective tissue) that surrounds the muscles and bones. This can help relieve chronic pain and improve mobility. While myofascial release may also provide some soreness relief and relaxation benefits, its main purpose is to address the underlying structural issues causing pain and limited mobility.
