Myofascial Release (MFR) is physical and energy therapy that heals the body, mind, and spirit with the body, mind and spirit. MFR is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion, function, balance, flow and strength. "Myo" is the prefix for muscle. Fascia is the seamless soft tissue web within connecting all beings. Like the Earth, fascia is adaptable and holds us all. Fascia is the whole body system protecting, supporting and connecting us in our external and internal environments. Trauma, inflammatory responses, musculoskeletal imbalances and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce pain and 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.)
Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is unique, and performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables us to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
The essential “time element,” working with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate is part of what makes this work unique. The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach® focuses on treating the cause of pain rather than just the symptoms, encouraging patient empowerment, and autonomy throughout the healing process. This specific approach to bodywork acknowledges that the system designed to protect against force, cannot be forced to release.
Heal your body, mind and spirit with your body mind and spirit. Train your subconscious to let go physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Change the ways you move by releasing subconscious holding patterns through the process of melting the issues in your tissues. Myofascial Release approaches healing in ways that help the body remember how to feel what the mind has blocked from consciousness by soothing the subconscious. Healing happens naturally, involuntarily and without thinking.
My use of Myofascial Release in Asheville, North Carolina allows us to treat each patient as a unique individual. One-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which I use a multitude of Myofascial Release and Restorative Movement techniques. I promote client autonomy through education in proper body mechanics and daily Self Myofascial Release, strengthening, flexibility, postural and movement awareness. Treatments include guidance in creating a personalized self care practice to enhance and maintain the benefits of hands on treatment.
I believe strongly in empowering patient education so that you can take the healing benefits of receiving Myofascial Release in Asheville beyond the table and into your life and can support you with continued care online and in person.
Your body tells your story.
Unlock the codes to healing yourself through your senses.
Movement and touch are universal languages of the body we originally taught ourselves to speak.
Posture, gait, movement, and body language are our unique expressions of our life experiences, and our self-healing tools.
My approach to movement is a mindful practice of making the most of everyday movements in order to promote subconscious postural corrections and whole body health.
