Myofascial Therapy Austin

Welcome to Dr. Misty Funk, DC | Myofascial Massage + Chiropractic Care. I am a highly skilled and experienced myofascial specialist dedicated to helping you achieve optimal well-being through the healing power of touch. I offer the following services: Myofascial Therapy, Myofascial Massage, Medical Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Chiropractic Services, and more.

I have been offering a highly specialized combination of myofascial therapy and chiropractic care for 17 years. To my knowledge no other practitioner in the Austin area offers this specific and unique approach to care.

When I first started practicing, most of my patients had never heard of myofascial massage. Today this evidence-based technique has become increasingly popular for the treatment of trigger points and myofascial tightness and pain. If you have never tried it, my patient, Erica, perfectly expresses what it’s like to receive a session from me. “I’ve had chronic pain the last year and was almost convinced that my pain would never go away. I’m so glad I did more research and found Dr. Funk“. Erica’s experience, along with many other patient stories, have resulted in referrals from providers across the US.

Myofascial massage (similar to deep tissue massage) is a deeply restorative and corrective technique designed to combat pain, muscle tension, and fascial adhesions. The fascial and lymphatic systems are two of the most under-treated systems in the human body and are often overlooked by even the most astute musculoskeletal specialists. Restoring the health of your fascia, muscles, and lymphatics is key to our work together.

Myofascial therapy is ideal for those who:

    • Travel frequently
    • Experience chronic stress
    • Sit at a computer (or desk) all day
    • Suffer from muscle tension, stiffness or pain
    • Endure chronic illness, autoimmune or inflammatory disease
    • Have trapped emotions and/or trauma which creates physical pain
    • Desire optimal health and wellness

Myofascial sessions are meticulously tailored to your needs. Choose from a myriad of appointment times depending on the severity of your symptoms. Receive personalized care from the actual doctor every time. Experience the profound benefits of deep therapeutic massage and luxuriate in the peace and tranquility of a healing environment.

Finally, myofascial therapy is deeply restorative. Some patients use their sessions solely to correct physical imbalances and adhesions that form in their muscular and fascial systems. Other patients discover that chronic emotional stress—even trauma—contribute to the tension they feel in their bodies. No matter what level your tightness and pain is coming from, a myofascial massage session allows you to slow down, focus within and heal on a deep level.

If you are looking for high quality therapeutic massage, book a session today.

I look forward to working with you!

 

 

Special Note: My work primarily focuses on reducing myofascial tension, tightness, and pain. If you have degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, a disc herniation or spinal nerve impingement, my work will not be of benefit to you. I am also unable to treat the inguinal area, pubic region or your pelvic floor (internal) muscles. These areas are out of my scope of practice. Please contact me if you have questions about your particular concern.
