What is Myofascial Release |
John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (JFB MFR) is a set of techniques and a philosophy of body dynamics as taught by John Barnes. Focusing on the fascia - the fibrous covering of muscles, organs, tendons, veins, arteries, etc - the techniques teach how to remove restrictions of the fascia that can bind down the tissue underneath it. Fascia has the amazing characteristic of shifting between a liquid and gel state (Thixotropy). When in a gel state, fascia binds the underlying tissue. Myofascial Release aids in converting the gel state of fascia back into the normal liquid state. Releasing these restrictions can relieve even long standing pain issues.
