Myosfascial Release

The John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach is considered to be the ultimate mind/body therapy that is safe, gentle and consistently effective in producing results that last.
The viscoelastic quality of the fascial system causes it to resist a suddenly applied force.
This explains why the "old form" of myofascial release which was an attempt
to force a system that cannot be forced produced pain and limited results.
The John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach consists
of the gentle application of sustained pressure into the fascial restrictions.
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.
