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

If you’ve tried massage, physical therapy, or chiropractic care and still feel stuck with pain or limited movement, Myofascial Release (MFR) may be the missing piece.

This approach works with the body’s connective tissue (fascia) to address the restrictions that don’t show up on imaging but can quietly drive pain, stiffness, and dysfunction throughout the body. In addition, I check in and use shared decision making with you to see if what I am doing feels relevant to your problem. If it does not, we move on and try something different.

  • 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.
