What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release, or MFR, is a comprehensive set of techniques developed by John F. Barnes, PT. The therapist utilizes soft tissue stretches to release deep and compacted tissue permanently so that the body will take over and heal itself, eliminating pain and restoring your freedom to move.
The body has a composition of woven tissues surrounding every organ, muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel and cell. With our years of trauma, small and large, this tissue becomes impacted by pressure and holds down the regular activities of our body that are essential for our best health. This tension from irregular posture, accidents, stress and scaring does not show up on regular tests; CT scans, Xrays and MRI's leaving many people with mystery or undiagnosed illness, which could be highly compressed fascia that can be released by these techniques.
Like the sweater shown at the right, when some tissue is pulled and tightened, the tissue in other areas pulls along with it and will misshapen and pain can result in others areas.
As a practitioner, it is my goal to aide you to restore balance to your body by following these restrictions to release them so you will now have a means to regain your health.
