Myofascial Release for Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Freeing the fascia to help your therapy work more effectively.
Physical therapy rebuilds strength and function; Myofascial Release restores the ease and balance that make that movement possible.
At Myofascial Release of St. George, I work alongside physical therapists and their patients to resolve fascial restrictions that limit mobility, prolong pain, or reduce the lasting impact of exercise-based rehab. When fascia is tight, dehydrated, or adhered, even the best therapy programs can only go so far. By releasing those restrictions, we unlock the body’s natural ability to move, heal, and adapt.
Why Pair Myofascial Release with Physical Therapy?
Your body is interconnected through fascia, a web-like system that surrounds and supports every muscle, joint, and organ. When this tissue becomes restricted, it can pull on distant areas, creating pain, imbalance, and resistance to healing.
Integrating MFR into a rehab program helps to:
Enhance range of motion by freeing deep restrictions that stretching alone can’t reach.
Reduce muscle guarding and tension that limit progress during therapy sessions.
Improve circulation and tissue hydration, accelerating recovery and repair.
Support neuromuscular retraining, so your new movement patterns “stick.”
Prevent recurring pain by resolving the root cause rather than chasing symptoms.
This combination of strength, structure, and softness helps patients move with greater ease and stay that way.
How Myofascial Release Works
During treatment, I apply gentle, sustained pressure to areas of restriction within the fascial system. There is no forcing or aggressive manipulation; instead, the body is given time to respond, soften, and release.
These sessions can:
Soften scar tissue or adhesions that formed after injury or surgery.
Relieve tension patterns that slow progress in rehab
Restore proper alignment, improving coordination and efficiency in movement.
Clients often describe feeling “lighter,” “more balanced,” or “finally free to move again” — sensations that reflect the fascia’s return to a healthy, fluid state.
Who Benefits from MFR During Rehab
Myofascial Release supports nearly every type of musculoskeletal condition, including:
Post-surgical stiffness and scar adhesion
Neck, shoulder, and low back pain
Hip or knee dysfunction
TMJ disorders
Chronic headaches or migraines
Postural imbalance
Sports injuries or repetitive strain
If you’re working through a physical therapy program and progress feels stalled, adding MFR can help release what’s been holding your body back.
Client Reflections
Gary T.
After months of therapy treatments after I had hurt my shoulder, I was about to give up and explore more radical treatments. I approached Lindsay and she recommended MFR. To say I was skeptical would be an understatement, but was willing to try anything other than more radical approaches. After the first treatment, I noticed a distinct improvement in range of motion and reduction in pain. Things just improved from there. I now have full use of the shoulder.

I have had the privilege of receiving multiple treatments from Lindsay Walker, and they have significantly helped with my knee, foot, and shoulder pain. She is both professional and compassionate, taking the time to thoroughly explain what to expect (and what not to expect) from each session.
