Gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system, producing consistent results in relieving pain and restoring functional mobility.

MFR produces consistent results in relieving pain and restoring functional mobility. 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.) John F. Barnes Myofascial Release is an innovative and highly effective whole-body approach for the evaluation and treatment of pain and dysfunction. The Myofascial Release Approach is more than just an assemblage of techniques. Instead, it creates a whole-body awareness allowing the health professional to facilitate change, growth, and the possibility of total resolution of restrictions, emotions, and belief systems that impede patient progress.
