What is Fascia?
Fascia is a specialized connective tissue system in the body that looks much like a spider’s web. It forms a continuous, three-dimensional network that runs from head to toe without interruption. Fascia surrounds, supports, and protects every muscle, bone, organ, nerve and blood vessel - holding everything in place and helping the body function as one integrated unit.
What is Myofascial Release?
John Barnes’ Myofascial Release (JFB-MFR) is a gentle, hands-on approach to treating restrictions within the fascial system. It is not a form of deep tissue massage, but rather a restorative and corrective form of bodywork that helps the body return to balance.
Benefits of Myofascial Release:
Myofascial Release can ease pain and tension, help you move more freely, and support better posture. Many people also feel a deep sense of relief (both physically and emotionally) after a session. This gentle hands-on therapy is especially helpful for those dealing with chronic pain or long-standing imbalances in the body caused by tight or restricted fascia.
