Why Your Recovery Plan Needs Both Acupuncture and Bodywork

Why Your Recovery Plan Needs Both Acupuncture and Bodywork

If you have ever felt like your muscles are trapped in a tight suit that won’t let go, you aren’t alone. Many people come to us to learn about our myofascial release therapy after trying standard massages that only scratch the surface. Most often, the first question they ask us is: What does myofascial release therapy treat?

If you are also looking for the same answer, you’ve come to the right place.

So, what does it treat?

Myofascial release therapy treats the restrictions in your fascia, which is the web-like connective tissue that wraps around every muscle. Physical knots are caused when this tissue becomes stuck due to old injuries or most commonly, desk postures. At Acubody, I, your trusted therapist, use hands-on bodywork to manually stretch and soften these layers.

Is myofascial release therapy enough on its own?

No, because physical release is only half the battle. We fix the hardware (the tissue) with bodywork but your software (your nervous system) also needs fixing. This is where acupuncture comes to the rescue.

By combining the two, we don’t just move the muscle; we tell the brain to stop holding onto the pain.

So, if you are wondering how do I find the best acupuncture clinic in London offering myofascial release therapy, contact Acubody today.
