I'm James Myhrer, licensed massage therapist, certified myofascial and craniosacral therapist, and founder of Relief Therapy Solutions, DBA Coon Rapids Massage and Somatic Therapy.

My mission is simple: get you back to being you.

At Coon Rapids Massage and Somatic Therapy / Relief Therapy Solutions, I am dedicated at providing you the best myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and other helpful services to aid in pain relief, stress release, and over all to feel good. I listen to your needs at each session, because I believe you are not the same person you were yesterday, today and going into tomorrow. Treating and believing the pain you are in and looking else where for the cause, is what my goal for you. Not only relaxing from stress with massage therapy, but getting deeper into what is causing what is happening and starting to correct issues with myofascial release, craniosacral therapy and kinesio taping, along with other advanced therapies such as Somatic Experiencing.

I use Myofascial Release (MFR) utilizes the John F. Barnes approach to treating pain and dysfunction. Myofascial release (MFR) is a gentle and effective hands-on therapy that applies myofascial stretching to eliminate pain, restore range of motion, and function when other treatments modalities have been temporary or ineffective.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) utilizes the Upledger approach with the combination of MFR to help facilitate underlining restrictions. This is a gentle, hands-on approach primarily using the head (cranium/cranio) and tailbone (sacrum/sacral) as areas of focus through the spinal cord.

Somatic Experiencing ®

This is a body-oriented therapeutic model applied in multiple professions and professional settings - psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, teaching, and physical therapy - for healing trauma and other stress disorders. It is based on a multidisciplinary intersection of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics and has been clinically applied for more than four decades. It is the life's work of Dr. Peter A. Levine.

The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. It offers a framework to assess where a person is "stuck" in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. SE provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.

As you allow yourself to feel the pain and soften into it, your authentic healing happens as you unwind and release into which binds you. Releasing that straight jacket feeling. Myofascial Release allows authentic healing, for a lasting change, in a gentle, non-invasive manner.

I look forward to helping and aiding in what causes lack of health.
