Welcome to Myofascial Release Therapy!
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR), as taught by founder, author and visionary, John F. Barnes, PT, is a targeted form of bodywork to release restrictions in your connective tissue, or fascia.
Those restrictions can put up to 2000psi pressure on your system, and thus:- press on nerves causing pain - constrict organs affecting function - restrict muscles affecting strength and - manifest as stiffness or reduced range of motion. Have you said these phrases? - “No one knows why I feel this way.” - “I’ve been told nothing with help!” - “I’ve tried everything, seen every practitioner and nothing makes it better." When you free the body, releasing those restrictions on your system, you can finally experience incredible improvement in:- Energy and strength- Headaches and migraines- Fibromyalgia pain - Back and neck pain - Sciatic nerve pain- Scoliosis - Pregnancy discomforts- Infertility and menstrual problems - Digestive issues - Constipation- Pain from acute injuries and chronic conditions- TMJ or jaw pain - Whiplash and car accident pain - Mastectomy or implant pain - Sports injuries and more.

Why haven't I gotten better with traditional therapy?
First, it's not your fault! Fascial restrictions don't show up on traditional tests like Xrays, CAT scans, and blood work and because everything in the body is connected it is common for restrictions in one area to present with symptoms in another area.
If your massage therapist or physical therapist has been working on your neck for your headaches and neck pain but the problem is initiating from a up-slipped or rotated pelvis, pronated foot or pull from the dural tube after that fall you had, it’s not surprising you haven’t gotten relief!

Individually or in combination, these can help make both your in-session treatments & home practice more effective for expedited improvement!
