What Is Myofascial Release?
Origin Story
The Myofascial Release (MFR) Approach was developed by John F. Barnes as a “whole-body, hands-on approach to the evaluation and treatment of the human structure. Its focus is on the fascial system. Fascia is an incredible tough connective tissue that spreads through the body in a three-dimensional web. Much like a spider web, it extends from head to foot without interruption.” (Source: Healing Ancient Wounds: The Renegade’s Wisdom, John F. Barnes)
More about Fascia
It permits the body to maintain its normal shape and keep all of the body’s life functions intact.
It supports, protects, envelops, and becomes part of the muscles, bones, nerves, organs, and blood vessels.
When injuries happen, fascia can reorganize along the lines of tension imposed on the body. Physical trauma to the body can cause the fascia to tighten down in an involuntary attempt to prevent the body from further harm.
Here are some common diagnoses that MFR can help address.
