What is Muscle Release Therapy (MRT)?

MRT is a technique used to treat muscle tension, tightness, and pain caused by overuse, poor posture, or injury. This method combines precise, targeted pressure with movements to break up muscle adhesions (commonly referred to as “muscle knots”) and improve blood flow.

Unlike traditional massage, which focuses on relaxation, MRT works directly with your body’s natural movements, making it highly effective for addressing muscle tightness and dysfunction. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic tension, or looking to improve mobility, this therapy can be a key part of your healing process.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions will I need to see results?

The number of sessions depends on your condition and how your muscles respond to treatment. Many patients notice improvements after just a few sessions, but for chronic issues or more severe cases, you may need additional treatments. Your chiropractor will create a treatment plan based on your progress.

Does Muscle Release Therapy hurt?

It can involve some discomfort, especially if your muscles are very tight or restricted. However, the pressure should not be unbearable. Your chiropractor will adjust the intensity based on your comfort level to ensure an effective and safe treatment.
