John F. Barnes trained Myofascial Release therapist

Fascia is the connective tissue that runs through our bodies from head to toe, which surrounds and connects each cell. This provides structure, holds organs in place, protects, absorbs shock, sends sensory information, etc. When there is trauma, inflammation or repetitive stress on our bodies, sometimes restrictions are created. This can cause a great deal of pain and restriction of movement. These restrictions don't show up on the standardized tests, like X-rays and cat scans... Myofascial release is a gentle method of sustained stretch to help relieve restrictions, allow tissues to rehydrate and the body to function properly once again. A well trained and centered therapist can assess where the tissues are solidified and apply sustained pressure and stretching which can begin the healing process.
