Patients with myofascial pain syndrome often benefit from this type of therapy. People who experience chronic headaches may also find relief from myofascial release.

Gently massaging on tightened muscles in and around the neck and head might reduce headaches Some people with venous insufficiency, which occurs when blood pools in deep veins of their legs, may also be candidates for myofascial release.

During venous insufficiency, the blood pool stretches out and eventually damages veins in your legs - you could experience some aching or painful sensation on the affected leg.
