Myofascial Release Information
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a powerful tool utilized by a select number of skilled therapists who assist their clients with issues such as chronic pain, postural imbalances and certain conditions such as migraines, back pain, neck pain, TMJ dysfunction, plantar fascitis and fibromyalgia, to name just a few. It is often confused with “deep tissue massage” therapy which can be painful but the John Barnes MFR approach is quite different. Please read full MFR Overview
Cranio-sacral Therapy
Cranio-sacral Therapy is a vital part of the healing process that addresses restrictions in the craniosacral system which affects the way our central nervous system functions. This type of therapy can dramatically reduce or eliminate compressive forces in the craniosacral system and throughout the entire body.
The cranio-sacral system consists of the skull, spine and sacrum and all of it’s contents including the Central Nervous System (the brain and spinal cord), cerebrospinal fluid and the covering of the brain (dura mater) and spinal cord (dural tube).
Cranio-sacral techniques are performed with a very gentle, almost non-perceptible, touch and are applied to the sacrum, spine, head and face. While very powerful, it can also be deeply relaxing.
Rebounding and Unwinding
Rebounding and Unwinding are forms of movement and technique that are present in almost every session of MFR.
