Gentle. Precise. Results-focused care for chronic pain and stubborn restrictions.

I specialize in helping people who have already tried traditional physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, or massage therapy without lasting relief through process-based work. Rather than focusing only on where you feel pain, I also assess and treat areas that may seem unrelated but are contributing to the problem. By addressing these restrictions the body can begin to release long-standing pain patterns from within. This is often the missing link in most traditional therapy.

Throughout each session, I check in with you regularly and use shared decision-making to ensure the treatment feels relevant to your issue. If a technique or area of treatment doesn't seem meaningful or produce the response we're looking for, we adjust the approach and continue exploring until we find what your body responds to best.

  • Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, nerves, and organs. When fascia becomes tight or restricted—due to injury, surgery, inflammation, stress, or repetitive strain—it can pull on the body unevenly, creating pain far from the original source.

    John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach® uses gentle, sustained pressure (not forceful manipulation) to allow these restrictions to soften and unwind. This gives the nervous system time to relax and allows the body to make lasting changes—rather than short-term relief.

    Think of fascia like a sweater: if one area is pulled tight, the tension shows up elsewhere. Treating only the painful spot often isn’t enough. I look at the whole pattern.

    • Not “symptom-only” treatment
      We don’t just work where it hurts—we look for why it hurts.

    • Sustained pressure, not quick techniques
      Fascia responds to time and gentle sustained pressure, not forcing tissue to change.

    • Whole-body approach
      Pain in one area often originates somewhere else. Sessions address global patterns, not isolated parts.

    • Client-specific care
      Each session is tailored to your body, your history, and how you respond—not a preset routine.

    Myofascial Release can be especially effective for:

    • Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain

    • Headaches and migraines

    • TMJ and jaw tension

    • Post-injury or post-surgical restrictions

    • Fibromyalgia and widespread pain

    • Sciatica and nerve-related discomfort

    • Pain that persists after physical therapy

    If pain has lingered despite “doing everything right,” MFR often helps unlock what’s been holding the body back.
