True John F. Barnes Myofascial Release is a holistic, full-body, hands-on approach developed and refined by John F. Barnes, PT. This safe and effective approach releases the fascial system, a three-dimensional web that connects and surrounds every muscle, organ and system down to the cellular level throughout the the body.
JFB-MFR helps to remove the 'straight jacket' from the body by releasing restricted fascia. A skilled MFR therapist will look at and treat your entire body using gentle, yet powerful, 'hands-on' techniques that will help to restore balance, facilitating your health and wellness. MFR techniques provide gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system to release restrictions throughout the body, decreasing the crushing force which is often the cause of pain and limited motion. Balancing the body can reduce or eliminate pain, increase flexibility and stability, plus have a profound effect on the body's tissues at a very deep level. MFR produces consistently effective and lasting results by respecting the wisdom of the patient's mind-body and it's ability to self-correct.
MFR is particularly helpful in the treatment of stubborn or chronic problems that have not been resolved by traditional methods. Promoting mind-body awareness can provide access to emotions and belief systems that may have prevented permanent structural changes. Once this missing information is revealed and released, healing is complete.
