The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach consists of the gentle application of sustained pressure into fascial restrictions. This essential "time element" has to do with the viscous flow and piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. 

​

Each myofascial release treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables me to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
