What is Myofascial Release?


 John F. Barnes® Myofascial Release is a holistic therapeutic approach that focuses on the whole body to alleviate pain and restore optimal function. This technique involves the application of gentle, sustained pressure to areas of the fascia—the connective tissue network that envelops and supports muscles, bones, organs, and the entire body structure. By targeting restrictions, tension, and adhesions in the fascia, MFR helps improve alignment, mobility, and overall well-being. This whole-body approach promotes deep healing, facilitates balance, and fosters long-lasting relief and functional improvement.


Why Choose MFR Therapy?


MFR is an effective treatment for unexplained pain and chronic conditions, particularly when traditional therapies have not provided relief. It focuses on healing the body at a deeper level by restoring proper fascial mobility, improving circulation, and correcting misalignments. This can lead to improved flexibility, enhanced mobility, and a significant reduction in pain.


Whether a surgery has left you feeling stiff or an injury is causing persistent pain, we understand how challenging it can be. Pain not only affects your physical health but can also impact your work duties, reduce your enjoyment of hobbies, and limit quality time with your loved ones. Pain can cause an imbalance in your mental, physical, and emotional health, creating a cycle that is difficult to break.


MFR can help you:


  • Feel Less Pain: By releasing tension, MFR treats the source of your pain.


  • Move More Easily: It helps you stretch and move without stiffness.


  • Enjoy Life Again: MFR can help you get back to work, hobbies, and spending time with loved ones.


  • Heal Your Whole Body: Pain affects your body, mind, and emotions. MFR helps you feel better in all areas.


Conditions We Treat at Ocean Myofascial Release


At Ocean Myofascial Release, we treat a wide range of injuries and conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Back and Neck Pain: If you have pain from poor posture, muscle issues, or an injury, MFR can ease tension, improve your posture, and reduce discomfort.


  • Joint Pain: MFR can help with pain in your shoulders, knees, hips, or elbows. It reduces swelling and helps your joints move more easily.


  • Jaw Pain (TMJ) and Headaches: MFR can relieve pain in your jaw and help with headaches or migraines.


  • Sports Injuries: Whether it’s a strain, sprain, or overuse injury, MFR can help you heal faster, feel less pain, and perform better.


  • Pelvic Floor Issues: For men and women, MFR can help with pelvic pain, incontinence, and other problems by improving pelvic health.


  • Recovery After Surgery: MFR can help you regain strength, reduce stiffness, and prevent scar tissue after surgery.


  • Nerve-Related Issues: MFR can help with conditions like nerve compression or pinched nerves by relieving tightness and pressure around the nerves.


  • Organ Problems: MFR can also help with discomfort or issues related to your internal organs by easing tight areas around them.


  • Balance and Movement Problems: MFR and physical therapy can improve balance, help you move more steadily, and lower your risk of falling.

Myofascial Release Therapy worked for me! I knew nothing about this modality but was in so much pain I knew I needed something other than regular physical therapy. I had radiating pain down my right arm which was coming from neck. I was very lucky to have found Jessica!
