Myofascial Release (MFR) John Barnes Approach, is a whole body, hands-on skin technique that uses sustained pressure in areas of fascial restrictions to release and lengthen the connective tissue. MFR promotes structural alignment; decreases pain; increases range of motion, mental clarity and emotional stability; and increases the ability to perform daily functional activities.

The fascial system (connective tissue) weaves throughout the body on a cellular level from head to toe, affecting every organ, artery, vein, nerve, bone and muscle because the system is one complete structure. Therefore, each individual part of the body is connected to every other part by the fascia.

Healthy fascia allows fluids to move from one cell to another and is elastic and pliable. Restrictions within the fascial system become hard, tender to touch, and change the symmetry of the body’s postural structure. The restrictions put pressure on nerves, tendons, arteries, bone, etc. and can cause high levels of pain and dysfunction.

Myofascial release sessions address the whole body in conjunction with specifically treating symptomatic areas of pain. If you have ever had a day where you just kind of feel “off” you would benefit from MFR. Individualized sessions are beneficial to everyone to bring the body back into alignment physically, emotionally and spiritually. A variety of hands-on techniques are used to release restrictions, elongate the connective tissue, and balance the flow of cellular fluids. Education regarding body awareness and movement is couple with inner journey and visualization techniques. Individualized strengthening and home maintenance programs are provided and upgraded for each client.
