John F Barnes Myofascial Release

The John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach® is considered to be the ultimate

mind/body therapy consists of the gentle application of sustained pressure into the

fascial restrictions. Myofascial Release allows the chronic inflammatory response to

resolve and eradicates the enormous pressure of myofascial restrictions exerted on

pain-sensitive structures to alleviate symptoms and to allow the body’s natural healing

capacity to function properly. 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.)
