About Ocean Myofascial Release
Our Belief in a Holistic Approach
At Ocean MFR, we genuinely believe that healing begins with a positive mindset and a nurturing space. We’re committed to creating an environment where you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
We embrace a holistic approach to care, recognizing that healing is as much about addressing your emotional well-being as it is about physical recovery. Your journey is uniquely yours, and we’re honored to walk beside you, providing compassionate care and personalized treatments that help restore balance, ease, and vitality to your life.
Our philosophy
At Ocean Myofascial Release, our philosophy is rooted in compassion and a holistic approach to healing. We believe that physical therapy is not just about addressing injuries or performing exercises—it’s about empowering individuals on their journey toward lasting health and well-being.
Using the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release (MFR) approach, we guide you in reconnecting with your body in a meaningful way, helping you uncover and address the deeper sources of pain, tension, and restriction with care and understanding.
Healing, to us, is about restoring harmony within the body and mind. Through the gentle and effective MFR method, we aim to release fascial restrictions and support your body’s natural ability to heal, enabling greater freedom of movement, resilience, and a renewed sense of balance. At Ocean Myofascial Release, we are honored to partner with you on this path to wholeness.

With years of specialized knowledge in treating everything from chronic pain to post-surgical rehabilitation, our therapist understands the intricate connection between the body and mind. We are passionate about helping you not just heal but thrive.
Every client’s journey is unique, and that’s why we tailor each session to your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re managing persistent pain, recovering from surgery, or looking to enhance your mobility and quality of life, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
