For treatment to be most effective, we need to treat the skin directly. Please bring comfortable, loose-fitting shorts and, for women, a sports bra or bathing suit top. Additionally, please avoid putting ANYTHING on your skin, such as lotion or oil, on the day of your appointment. Even a small amount can make it challenging to engage the fascia without sliding on the skin.

John F. Barnes Myofascial Release, (JFB-MFR) is a full body, hands on technique that releases the fascial system. The myofascial release approach is an intensive, generally mild and gentle form of stretching performed by qualified therapists who have been highly trained. These techniques have profound effects upon the body tissues. Because of its gentleness, many individuals wonder how it could possibly work. Because the facial system is interconnected, symptoms may appear in areas of the body one might assume are unrelated to the actual restricted area. Myofascial restrictions do not show up on any of the standard tests (x- rays, CAT scans, MRI’s etc.) so these myofascial restrictions have been ignored or misdiagnosed.

Unlike deep tissue massage, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release approach uses no force but rather long, sustained holds. The therapist’s hands sink into the tissue, just to the point of resistance. The therapist then holds at that barrier until the fascia is ready to soften and release for 3-5 minutes or more. People report it feels like a deep stretch, taffy stretching, or butter melting. Myofascial Release can create a more spacious area for your bones & tissue to move and take pressure off pain sensitive structures. Jamie feels fortunate to have been trained by John F. Barnes who developed his approach over 50 years ago.

Myofascial release can feel like pressure or a slow stretch in the immediate area under the therapist’s hands. It’s also common to feel sensations in seemingly unrelated areas of the body, maybe the site of an old injury or scar. These fascial connections may or may not make sense to you at the time, but instead of figuring out the sensations, simply feel them. Therapeutic pain may occur, and people will sometimes have pain for several hours to a day after MFR. During this time, it is especially important to remain hydrated as your body metabolizes waste products. There is the possibility MFR may trigger a healing crisis can cause a temporary emotional change. You may develop temporary pain in new areas & feel lightheaded or nauseous a day later, but this resolves quickly & afterwards people experience remarkable improvement in their symptoms.
