Myofascial Release (MFR)
(John Barnes Method)
An effective, hands-on technique applying gentle, sustained pressure which allows tight, restricted and painful areas of the body to release.
Myofascial Release (MFR) is beneficial from pre-natal care to end of life care. MFR helps decrease pain and improve the wellbeing of patients with migraines, chronic or acute pain, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, TMJ, scoliosis, sciatica, sports injuries and much more.
MFR also improves mobility of tight tissues such as post surgeries including breast augmentations, mastectomies, painful scars, tongue ties, sports surgeries, and many more. This work also improves your psychological well-being as many patients report emotional releases during or after treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is myofascial release?
Myofascial Release is a manual technique that uses sustained pressure into areas of restriction held for a minimum of 5 minutes until the fascial restrictions release.
What is Fascia
“Fascia is the tensional, continuous fibrillar network within the body, extending from the surface of the skin to the nucleus of the cell. This global network is mobile, adaptable, fractal, and irregular; it constitutes the basic structural architecture of the human body.” Dr. Jean Claude Guimberteau
Is Myofascial Release painful?
While there may be some discomfort, more oftens sensations like buzzing, tingling, discomfort or other sensations arise when a technique is being applied. It might be felt in the area being treated or elsewhere in the body.
How will I feel after my appointment?
You may experience what is known as the healing crisis between 24-72 hours after your session. When you were being treated, your therapist released a lot of toxins that had been stored in the restricted areas of your body. You might notice slight inflammation which is actually healing the area as it flushes the released toxins. We recommend letting this natural process happen and not use ice or take anti-inflammatory drugs.
How do I prepare for an appointment?
Please refrain from wearing any lotions or oils.
