What is John F. Barnes Myofascial Release?

True John F. Barnes Myofascial Release is a full-body, hands-on technique that was developed and refined by John F. Barnes. This technique releases the fascial system- a three-dimensional web that connects and surrounds every muscle, organ, cell and system in the body.

JFB-MFR helps to remove the straight jacket from the body by releasing restricted fascia. A skilled therapist will look at and treat your entire body, helping to restore balance. Releasing the fascial restrictions throughout the body will decrease the crushing force, therefore decreasing pain and increasing function, blood flow, nutrition and overall health down to the cellular level.

This is a very quick explanation of JFB- MFR. To get a more thorough understanding of JFB-MFR please refer to the many articles and books that John has written or see his website: www.myofascialrelease.com. You can also refer to my two books: A Patient's Guide to JFB-MFR  and A Therapist's Guide to JFB-MFR.
