Myofascial Release
Hands-on therapy targeting tight fascia and trigger points to restore mobility and reduce pain.
- Assessment-driven approach
- Home exercises provided
- Works alongside rehab plans
Myofascial Release at the Foot & Ankle Centre is a hands-on therapeutic technique designed to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility by targeting tight or restricted fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles. When fascia becomes tight or inflamed due to injury, overuse, poor posture, or repetitive strain, it can cause discomfort, restricted movement, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Our clinicians use gentle, sustained pressure to release tension within the fascia, improving circulation, restoring flexibility, and reducing pain at its source. Myofascial release is highly effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tight calf muscles, Achilles tendon pain, arch discomfort, and general foot and ankle stiffness. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment suitable for people of all ages.
At the Foot & Ankle Centre, myofascial release is often combined with stretching, strengthening, orthotics, or other therapies to create a holistic, personalised treatment plan that supports long-term recovery and improved foot function.
Comfortable manual techniques tailored to your tolerance, often with immediate relief.

Plantar fasciitis, calf tightness, Achilles tendon pain, arch pain, general foot and ankle stiffness, overuse injuries, and muscle imbalances. It can also improve flexibility and reduce chronic pain.
The clinician applies steady pressure to restricted tissue, encouraging the fascia to stretch, release tension, improve blood flow, and restore natural movement patterns.
Most find it relaxing. Some pressure may feel intense but should not be sharp or painful; techniques are adjusted to your comfort level.
Varies by severity and cause. Many benefit from 3–6 sessions; chronic cases may need ongoing care as part of a broader plan.
Yes. It helps reduce tightness, improve flexibility, prevent injury, and support performance.
Absolutely—often paired with shockwave therapy, physiotherapy exercises, orthotics, massage, stretching programmes, or manual joint mobilisation to speed recovery.
Yes. It is gentle and safe for most patients; clinicians assess for contraindications during your appointment.
