What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release (MFR), developed by renowned physical therapist John F. Barnes, 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.

- 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.

Treatment Frequency and Self-Care: Your Path to Healing
How many treatments do I need?
At Ocean Myofascial Release, we recognize that healing is a deeply personal journey. The frequency of your Myofascial Release (MFR) treatments is customized to meet your unique needs, goals, and the nature of your condition. Whether you’re addressing chronic pain or seeking ongoing wellness, our treatment plans evolve with your progress, ensuring you receive the care you need at every stage.
How Often Should You Have Treatments?
For Chronic Pain or Long-Term Injuries:
If you’re dealing with chronic pain or an old injury, consistent sessions are important to release deep tension and help your body find balance.
- Starting Phase: Weekly or bi-weekly sessions for 6 months to a year may be needed to see real improvement.
- Later Phase: As your symptoms improve, sessions will happen less often, based on your progress.
For Wellness and Maintenance:
If you’re not in pain but want to stay flexible and stress-free, occasional treatments are a great option.
- Recommendation: Monthly sessions help keep your body balanced, prevent new issues, and support overall health.
Healing Takes Time
Healing is a process, and the number of sessions you’ll need will depend on your body and goals. Over time, you’ll likely need fewer treatments as your body rebalances. By combining regular sessions with self-care, you can experience long-lasting relief and better overall health.
Treatment Packages to Support Your Goals
- 6-Session Package: Perfect for addressing a specific problem and getting a strong start on your healing journey.

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!
