What is Myofascial Release?

John Barnes' Myofascial Release is a gentle, and safe and highly effective whole body hands-on approach to treatment. It provides sustained pressure into myofascial restriction and utilizes a variance of pressure from heavy to light. It eliminates pain and headaches and restores motion. It deepens the relaxation response and is the ultimate mind-body healing approach.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is a tough connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a 3-dimensional web. It travels head-to-toe uninterrupted and acts a s a shook absorber in the body. Fascia has extremely important functions in support, protection, separation, cellular respiration, elimination, metabolism and fluid and lymphatic flow in the body. Trauma or malfunction of the fascia can set up the environment for poor cellular efficiency, disease, pain and dysfunction throughout the body.

What is Myofascial Restriction?

Myofascial restriction is tight hardened fascia (connective tissue web). It occurs following injury, repetitive micro trauma, stress, inflammation, poor posture, scarring and will progressively tighten over time if left untreated. It does not show up on any of the standard tests done today such as the MRI, CAT Scan, EMG and X-Rays. Is is the underlying cause of most CHRONIC pain problems that have not responded to traditional medical or surgical intervention.

Myofascial Release

Touching patients with skilled hands can be one of the most potent ways of effecting a positive change. Myofascial release has great flexibility in that the techniques can be incorporated into numerous specialty areas and treatments. They are especially applicable in managing acute and chronic pain, neurologic and movement dysfunction, birth trauma, head injuries, pediatric and geriatric conditions, pelvic and menstrual problems, temporomandibular dysfunction, headaches, sports injuries, restriction of motion and recurring injuries.
