How does MFR differ from traditional Massage?
Traditional massage therapy uses lotion or oils to slide and glide over the muscles. Myofascial Release is an integrated “whole body” treatment that provides “total physical, emotional and energetic” healing. A Myofascial Release Therapist is aware that pain is often caused by excessive tightness of the connective tissue within the body, creating pressure on pain sensitive structures. The goal of treatment is to reduce or eliminate this tightness which is accomplished by specialized techniques unwinding your tension and tightness, re-balancing your body and helping it to let go of whatever is related to that tension, by releasing and creating space for growth and change, thereby allowing
increased postural alignment
increased energy
increased body awareness
increased flexibility and strength
decreased pain
feeling more balanced physically, mentally and emotionally
(to name a few, as there are many results that may come from MFR)

Myofascial Release provides a comprehensive individualized treatment for the relief of pain, restoration of posture, and the return to function. Utilizing a method called John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release to address problems that have not responded to previous surgeries, therapies, and medications, bringing about positive and lasting changes. While The Bodywork Studio can effectively help people who have unsuccessfully tried other interventions and for those who are seeking a fresh approach to a new problem will also find success, not all clients come as a result of pain. Many are simply looking to regain a quality of life that they are missing.
