What Is Myofascial Release?

Let's start with an extremely important FACT: Myofascial Release is NOT a massage. Real Myofascial Release uses gentle sustained pressure into the fascial restriction and is held for several minutes; There is never any sliding/ gliding on the skin. MFR eliminates pain and restores motion, without force; provides healing for chronic pain, neck pain, back pain, migraines, whiplash and more. Myofascial Release provides the BEST Scar Release for scar tissue after surgery: cesarean scar release (c-section scars); mastectomy scars; abdominal surgery scars, etc. Now you can release scar tissue the safe and effective way!

A Word From the founder of Myofascial Release, John Barnes:

"The John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach® is considered to be the ultimate therapy that is SAFE, GENTLE and consistently EFFECTIVE in producing results that last. John F. Barnes, PT has trained over 100,000 therapists and physicians, is an international lecturer, author and authority on Myofascial Release. He is a physical therapist and is considered to be a visionary and teacher of the highest caliber.

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)

The medical approach is to drug patients so they temporarily are free from pain, but does nothing about the “straight-jacket” of pressure that is causing the pain. Traditional physical, occupational and massage therapy treats the symptoms caused by the pressure of the “straightjacket” of the Myofascial system, but does nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms. This is why so many patients only have temporary results never seeming to get better with traditional therapy. Only Myofascial Release treats the entire Myofascial mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restricted Myofascial system (the straightjacket) that causes the symptoms.

Myofascial Release will safely and gently release the entire Myofascial complex for lasting and comprehensive results and authentic healing."
