Our Fascial system is a main source of pain & dysfunction & yet little is known about it in the medical community. Imaging will not disclose areas of dysfunction due to the fluid nature of fascia, leading all to often to the diagnosis of “ there is nothing wrong; inconclusive results” You are not crazy & your pain is real. The John F Barnes Myofascial Release system ( JFBMFR) works with the balance & texture of the body. Understanding where the pain is & then balancing the incongruities that cause the twists within the system. It is a weblike pattern that can cause pain in different areas than where the injury is or thought to be.

Areas of specialty include weight management, avoiding or lowering medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol as well as food sensitivities and sports nutrition.
