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. Myofascial Release works on releasing the fascial connective tissue to help reduce pain, increase range of motion and improve posture. MFR is not injurious and there is no force. MFR is a technique that works on the fascia, which is the connective tissue of the body, it may also aid in relieving everyday, or long term trauma at the root by applying calm, gentle and sustained pressure.
Come and explore your body on a whole new level!
From the moment we connect, we will work together with your body to get you into a beautIful healing rhythm.
I will help you learn to soften, and take you deeper into the fibers of your fascial body system. We will begin to open the blocked areas that are in such strong holding patterns, and in many cases, these holding patterns have been there for years. I am not here to figure out the when and why these things happened and are stored in your body, I am just here to connect with, release these restrictions, and try to help you restore your body's true ability to heal.
First we will calm the storm and turn off the chaos from the outside world, then we will trust the process of the body's natural ability to unwind, slowly and gently. There is no force with MFR, there should be nothing other than therapeutic pain, and no guarding, or resistance. MFR is a gentle melting of the tissues as you relax, breathe & unwind under sustained, elongated holds and stretches.
Allow me to do the rest!
Myofascial Release Therapy is very different than Massage Therapy. There are no lotions or lubricants involved. 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 beautiful body!
When you have decided on making an appointment, please reach out.
Quote: "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree"
I have been a Massage Therapist since 1998. During that time I specialized in orthopedics, as well as pre and post surgical clients . I began my massage career in the field of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic fields. I am sill in connection with 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 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 and very therapeutic. I am quickly, and graciously welcoming this new modality into my practice. 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.
The body tells such a story when you give it the ability to let go. I am here to help facilitate your body's true abilities and 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!

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.
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.

This is the full Video of "Scrolling under the skin by Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau. When you see the intertwining of the tissues and understand the relationship between "fascia" "tensegrity" you will soon understand how important it is to release these areas that may be the cause of rmyofascial restrictions.
Please reach me at magikalfingers@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.
Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist 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. Fascia plays an important role in the support and function of our bodies, since it surrounds and attaches to all structures. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction.
When one experiences physical trauma, emotional trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Trauma, such as a fall, car accident, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture and repetitive stress injuries has cumulative effects on the body. The changes trauma causes in the fascial system influences comfort and function of our body. Fascial restrictions can exert excessive pressure causing all kinds of symptoms producing pain, headaches or restriction of motion. Fascial restrictions affect our flexibility and stability, and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities.
Therapeutic Pain PT/OT Today Vol. 5, No. 40 Mind & Body by John F. Barnes, PT
Traditional therapy has viewed pain from two different perspectives. One school of thought was to avoid pain, “mask” the symptoms and teach the patient to cope with his or her problem. This approach did not cause direct trauma, but forced people to be satisfied with limited results. There was the possibility of cumulative trauma since untreated restrictions caused micro trauma to the patient’s system over time. This micro trauma was like a ticking time bomb left in the system, forcing a return of symptoms or a shift to another area. This is rarely a satisfactory solution. The other school of thought was “no pain, no gain.” Too many times patients were instructed to exercise and force their way through the pain. The result: a lot of strong patients in agony. Or manipulation and other aggressive manual techniques produced force into osseous structures while paying no attention to the tight surrounding myofascial environment. The aggressive force used created the possibility of increased pain, injury or a return of symptoms because the environment of every osseous structure, the myofascial system, had not been released first. Myofascial Release can safely and effectively free the osseous structures and/or create a more open environment to enhance the effectiveness of manipulation, mobilization procedures, muscle energy techniques and exercise and flexibility programs. Is there a possibility of another option for the relief of pain and the restoration of motion? I strongly believe the possibility exists, based on my years of experience and the experience of over 20,000 physical therapists (one-third of the profession) that I have had the opportunity to train in this approach. I would like you to consider the possibility of a third treatment option of relieving pain and restoring motion: therapeutic pain. One aspect of the Myofascial Release Approach is where the therapist applies gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system, creating what the patient reports as a feeling of good pain or a good stretch. Release of the pressure of the fascial system around the muscles, nerves, blood vessels and the osseous structures creates a free mobile environment of these pain-sensitive structures, producing consistent results in relieving pain and restoring functional mobility. Another aspect of myofascial release is the sophisticated facilitation techniques called Myofascial Unwinding. The fascial system is a piezoelectric tissue, so when the therapist applies gentle sustained pressure into the fascial system through compression, traction or twisting the fascial system or moving a particular body part (taking gravity out of the system), it creates a flow of the body’s bioenergy. This flow triggers the mind/body complex into spontaneous motion. This spontaneous therapeutic motion allows the body to assume positions in space that represent positions of past traumas. These positions of trauma represent one’s subconscious fear, negative memories and/or pain that have created holding or bracing patterns which have impeded progress of the traditional therapeutic approach. It is these positions in space and the re-experiencing of this pain memory which is never injurious, that takes the threat out of the system and allows the mind/body complex to let go of these holding or bracing patterns so that healing can commence. Working in reverse, Myofascial Release, and Myofascial Unwinding, release the fascial tissue restrictions, thereby altering the habitual muscular response and allowing the positional, reversible amnesia to surface, producing emotions and belief systems that are the cause of holding patterns and ultimately symptoms. Thus it is important for the therapist to quiet his or her mind and feel the inherent motions. Quietly following the tissue or body part three-dimensionally along the direction of ease takes the patient into the significant restrictions or positions. With Myofascial Unwinding, the therapist eliminates gravity from the system. This unloading of the structure allows the body’s righting reflexes and protective responses to temporarily suspend their influence. The body can then move into positions that allow these state or position dependent physiologic or flashback phenomena to reoccur. As this happens within the safe environment of a treatment session, the patient can facilitate the body’s inherent self-correcting mechanism to obtain improvement. The Myofascial Release Approach is more than just an assemblage of techniques. Instead, it creates a whole-body awareness allowing the health professional to facilitate change, growth and the possibility for total resolution of restrictions, emotions and belief systems that impede patient progresas No References
