I have been a massage therapist since 1998, and now focus on the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release approach.
Trauma and inflammatory responses create myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up on in any of the standard tests (x-ray, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)
The John F. Barnes approach consists of the gentle application of the sustained pressure into the sack rest...

The John F. Barnes approach consists of the gentle application of the sustained pressure into the sack restrictions. The essential “time element”has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
