Welcome to a healing space
I am here for YOU!
I want to feel the story your body tells. Your fascial system remembers every injury, surgery, accident and trauma.
About Magikalfingers Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR)
What is Myofascial Release and how does it work?
At Magikalfingers MFR Therapy, I believe that John F Barnes Myofascial Release alone, and/or coupled with other traditional therapies and modalities, are an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.
“WHAT IS FASCIA?” (pronounced like fashion = “fashia”)
The fascial system is our only whole-body network, enveloping and connecting every structure and cell. Acting as a glide and communication system, fascia transmits information and energy throughout the body, much like fiber optics. It also plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients, fluids, oxygen, and biochemicals to support cellular health.
Fascia supports postural balance, aids in motion, and acts as a shock absorber. It helps circulate venous and lymphatic fluids and can influence chronic tissue congestion and inflammatory processes. Changes in fascia often lead to the buildup of fibrous tissue and increased acidity in joint areas. Additionally, fascia surrounds the central nervous system and dysfunctions in these areas can cause widespread neurological effects.
Fascia's fluid component, known as ground substance, surrounds every cell and facilitates proper cellular metabolism, respiration, and nutrient flow. Restrictions in the fascia can disrupt these processes, leading to issues like pain, dysfunction, disease, and compromised immune response.
As you can see, fascia is kind of important!
AND, there is nothing else out there like John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach to treat 100% of your fascial system. All other systems only work 20% and produce limited, short term results.
JFB Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle and safe treatment for people of all ages, delivering long-lasting results. It is highly effective in addressing chronic pain and "unexplained" discomfort. MFR helps restore range of motion and flexibility while reducing pain, tightness, and tension. As a hands-on therapy that treats the entire fascial system, MFR provides comprehensive relief and helps you feel better overall!
If you are you ready to come to, or back to the table, show up for yourself, book a series of appointments, do some self care in between, and see how your body responds.
There is nothing like John F. Barnes Myofascial Release!
About My Sessions
Come and explore your body on a whole new level! Myofascial Release connects on a much deeper level than many other styles of bodywork.
Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables me to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia. Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider’s web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) A high percentage of people suffering with pain and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but are not diagnosed. Myofascial Release Therapy is very different than Massage Therapy. Most clients describe it as very connective.
There are no lotions or lubricants involved. in myofascial release sessions. This allows me to go deeper, and sink into the barrier without sliding. I ask my clients to not use any lotions or oils before our sessions together.
Regular treatment is just the beginning. Both follow up care, and self care, are something that will help you reap the benefits of this investment into your body!
When you have made the decision to make an appointment, or a series of appointments, please reach out.
Your bodies ability to heal is far greater than you can ever imagine!
About Me
I have been an Orthopedic Massage Therapist since 1998. During that time I specialized in treating a variety of conditions of the neck, spine, pelvis, and extremities. I have also treated many pre and post surgical conditions needing soft tissue and myofascial fascial release in my career.
I began my massage practice in the field of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic fields. I am sill in connection with many of these practitioners, and consult with them as necessary if we are working together on a particular goal for a client.
I dove into the world of Myofofascial Release, using the John F Barnes approach, and now it all makes sense! I can see how this type of body work has been the missing link for the body to truly become in alignment with itself on a deeper fascial level. There is no force in MFR Therapy, only a gentle melting and unwinding of the tissues that may be causing fascial restrictions.
This approach is so different than massage, as there is no lubricants involved to be able to grab the tissues at the deepest layers. Myofascial Release is gently, yet very therapeutic. I am quickly, and graciously welcoming this new modality into my practice, and so are my clients! This gentle melting of the tissues allows me to go deeper with you and help you to understand what therapeutic pain is, and in many cases the root cause of it. Sometimes the cause may be from somewhere else!
The body tells such a story when you give it the ability to let go. I am here to help facilitate the body's true abilities to "unwind" those stubborn fascial restrictions. Sometimes you just need help to start, and continue this process. Pain relief and Emotional balance are achievable. I can only be the conduit to help you, and your body be on the way to a healthier lifestyle- or to continue on this wonderful path you are already on! I want to encourage you to trust in your body, and its ability it has to heal!

My Philosophy
At Magikalfingers MFR Therapy I believe that Fascia is the living web of connective tissue that surrounds and pervades every cell in our body. From muscle to organ to nerve, fascia plays a crucial role in many areas of the body, and in many cases cause physical changes. It is essentially "holding us together". But if it is holding us to tight, it can cause deeper issues.
What is fascia?
You can think of facia is like a spider web. The stringy tissue is densely woven throughout your muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, veins and organs. Your fascia is one continuous structure throughout your body. Each part of your body is connected to it in some way. That’s why if there’s a snag in the tissue in one part of your body, it can cause pain in another part of your body.
Myofascial Lines And Injuries
Many injuries have lasting impacts on your body but cannot be detected in standardized tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.). I am able to help you reach your wellness goals by assessing and treating these restrictions. MFR helps by using gentle pressure applied over an extended time to allow the connective tissue to elongate and release. This, in turn, allows nerves, blood vessels, and other tissues to open up resulting in less pain and increased range of motion. Fascia is connected to everything in the body, and with Myofascial release, I will take my time to gently unwind these areas that may be the root cause of these restrictions.

The Piezeolectric effect
The sustained pressure and stretch used during an MFR treatment is purposeful and powerful. And, it is what allows the piezoelectric effect to occur. The prolonged pressure on the fascia causes a chemical reaction to occur in the cells. The result of this reaction is electrical charges, or the piezoelectric effect.
These electrical charges have a many benefits:
1. Healing injuries: The electrical charges produced in the fascia by the piezoelectric effect may send signals to surrounding cells. These signals act as a messenger to tell cells to increase cellular activity of repair and regeneration to promote healing and recovery of damaged tissue.
2. Tissue recovery: The electrical charges also help tissues heal by stimulating collagen, a protein in the body and the primary building block of fascia. These charges shift the tissue from a restricted and solid state to one that is relaxed and fluid. This helps promote recovery, elasticity, and mobility.
3. Pain regulation: The electrical charges generated during MFR have a pain-relieving effect. It is documented that these charges interact with our nervous system through releasing mechanical pressure of nerve tissue and by nourishing nerve cells. In doing so, nerve tissue can heal and patients can see a great reduction in pain.
Given the sustained gentle pressure to the fascial system during MFR treatment, the piezoelectric effect becomes fundamental to the success of MFR.
The Interluken effect
In Barnes MFR, we sustain stretches for 5 minutes or longer because of a few benefits. Mind you we meet the resistance of the stretch and don't force past it.
First know, a brief on fascia anatomy.
Fascia is comprised of:
1)elastin
2)collagen
3)ground substance
Any releases under 90 seconds is what we refer to as "fools gold". You are just stretching the elastin which is designed to give. If that's all you treat, the elastin will get pulled back into the original dysfunction b/c it's only 20% of the fascial system.
The remaining collagen and ground substance is 80% of the fascial system, and JUST starts to release at the 90-120 second mark. We hold these pressures/stretches longer b/c there are layers of releases.
And at the 5 minute mark, your body begins to increase production of interleukins, a special brand of proteins that work with our tissues and cells. Interleukin 8 and 2 production particularly, that aid in reducing inflammation and increasing immune response.
Interlukin 8, which is a chemokine, is naturally occurring in the body for many different reasons. MFR can also produce interlukin 8, and two other types of interlukins. Interlukin 8 is naturally occurring when inflammation is present and helps bring granulocytes to the site of inflammation. Neutrophils are the granulocytes that interlukin 8 activates, as well as lymphocytes the longer you hold after that 5 minute mark, the interleukin production increases more and more. So you may find us holding stretches or pressures, uninterrupted for 7-15...or more minutes.
this time also allows for a set of phenomena that takes place, starting with:
1)piezioelectricity
2)mechanotransduction
--1 and 2 dovetail together--
3)phase transition
4)chaos
5)finally resonance or release
