Why MFR is unique: John Barnes’s Myofascial Release therapy is a completely safe, extremely effective manual therapy that stretches and hydrates muscles (myo) and the connective tissue (FASCIA) in order to eliminate the causes of pain and restriction. It has helped innumerable people around the world to permanently relieve symptoms traditional medicine could do nothing about.

​

The connective tissue also known as FASCIA creates the scaffolding for all of our body’s organs, nerves, blood vessels, and muscle cells. It remembers the shape of our body via tissue memory so that despite constant movement our body remains the same. With trauma, injury, repetitive hurtful movement, and posture the tissue memory can become distorted, however. Chronic tightness and inflammation develops, ultimately leading to pain and loss of function. Skilled MFR practitioner helps return fascia to correct alignment and release distortions from the tissue memory so that we can return to a pain-free life and regain ease of function.
