Gentle techniques are used to release layers of abdominal fascia and other connective tissue surrounding and supporting the muscles and organs of the abdominal cavity.

Myofascial Release Report

Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system (or connective tissue). The fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater.

I have been seeing John Barnes for myofascial release therapy for over a year and have nothing but good things to say about him and his services. His years of experience as an RMT certainly shine - I have chronic musculoskeletal issues in my upper back, neck, and shoulders that have quieted significantly since I started seeing him. The atmosphere that he has created in his home-based practice is one of tranquility and professionalism, and to top it off he is very friendly and personable. John's services are also very reasonably priced, and he does direct billing for Blue Cross. I highly recommend
