Myofascial Release and Wellness Center

The Myofascial Release and Wellness Center in North Kingsville, Ohio specializes in the John F Barnes Myofascial Release approach. I have been a Physical Therapist Assistant for 14 years and have treated many patients through all walks of life with multiple diagnoses in a plethora of settings. My passion has greatly developed over the years into assessing the body as a whole rather than a compartmentalized diagnosis, which lead me to Myofascial Release and gaining a license for Massage Therapy. The JFB MFR approach is a hands-on technique of gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial restrictions to help eliminate pain and restore motion. As a result of trauma, stress, or injury, restrictions can occur within the fascia resulting in decreased range of motion, chronic pain and other various symptoms. Over time, through compensation, the body creates holding patterns hat produce pain and dysfunction in other seemingly non-related areas of the body.

The binding down of the fascia, producing pressure on the joints, blood vessels, nerves, organs, and even the cells themselves, causes many disorders within the body. Symptoms develop as the body compensates, and life-sustaining functions are compromised. This manual therapy uses a whole body approach with a focus on the three-dimensional continuous web of fascia found throughout the body. MFR can gently free restrictions within this tough connective tissue and release the physical and energetic holding patterns while guiding the body back to its natural alignment. Myofascial Release relieves the pressure on the fascia and helps to bring balance back to the body.
