With this Myo-Fascial Release method, highly refined, gentle traction techniques and compression are applied to promote natural releases to the fascia. When the fascia is approached in a gentle way it surrenders adhesions without pain or damage, or incurring post inflammation and re-thickening.

The John F. Barnes PT LMT NCTMB Method of Myo-fascial Release is a gentle and effective treatment to re-balance the internal fascial matrix of your body. Accidents, stress, and repetitive action can thicken and ‘lock down’ fascia as a protective reaction. Laura is an MFR specialist who can help relieve back pain, headaches and more at her location in downtown Fort Walton Beach.

“You can have lasting relief. I never would have believed I could find anything that could permanently restructure my back and hip. It was, and is, so impactful, I pursued the trainings to certify, and use it today, with all of my clients.” ~Laura Tyree

The John F. Barnes’ Myo-fascial Release Approach® is considered to be the ultimate therapy that is safe, gentle, and consistently effective in producing results that last. John F. Barnes, PT has trained over 100,000 therapists and physicians, is an international lecturer, author, and authority on Myofascial Release. He is a physical therapist and is considered to be a visionary and teacher of the highest caliber.

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, electromyography, myelograms, CAT scan, etc.)

The medical approach is to drug patients so they temporarily are free from pain, but does nothing about the “straight-jacket” of pressure that is causing the pain. Traditional physical, occupational, and massage therapy treats the symptoms caused by the pressure of the “straightjacket” of the Myofascial system but does nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms. This is why so many patients only have temporary results never seeming to get better with traditional therapy. Only Myofascial Release treats the entire Myo-fascial mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restricted Myofascial system (the straightjacket) that causes the symptoms.
