MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
We offer a unique approach to pain relief through John Barnes Myofascial Release, a highly effective therapy that goes beyond traditional methods. Unlike any other therapy you may have experienced, we take a comprehensive view of your body, both in gravity and on the treatment table.
By combining visual assessment and hands-on palpation of fascial tension lines along with your valuable feedback during the session, we accurately identify the root cause of your chronic or new pain symptoms. Our goal is not just to alleviate your symptoms temporarily but to treat the underlying cause, empowering you to regain your ability to enjoy the activities you love with greater speed and completeness.
Our holistic approach extends beyond the treatment room. You will gain valuable insights into self-care techniques to use at home, enabling you to take an active role in your healing journey. Our mission is to equip you with the tools you need to continue your progress outside of our sessions, fostering long-lasting relief and improved well-being.

What is Fascia?
Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater.
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.) A high percentage of people suffering with pain and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but are not diagnosed.
