Barnes Myofascial
Release Therapy

Release Deep Restrictions. Reclaim Pain-Free Movement.

At 3D Wellness, we offer John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Therapy—a highly effective, hands-on technique that gently addresses the body’s connective tissue (fascia) to reduce chronic pain, tension, and mobility restrictions. This unique approach allows for deep tissue release without force, honoring the body’s natural ability to unwind trauma and restore balance.

Unlike traditional massage, Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) focuses on sustained pressure and intentional stillness to address fascial restrictions that can cause postural misalignment, chronic pain, and limited range of motion. This treatment is ideal for those who have tried everything—yet still experience lingering pain or discomfort.

Ideal For:

  • Chronic pain or stiffness

  • Post-surgical recovery or scar tissue

  • Headaches, TMJ, or fibromyalgia

  • Trauma recovery (emotional or physical)

Frequently Asked Questions
— Barnes Myofascial Release

What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle, hands-on treatment that targets the fascia—connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. The Barnes method applies sustained pressure to release deep restrictions without force or pain.

How is Barnes MFR different from regular massage?

Traditional massage focuses on muscles. Barnes MFR works with fascia—addressing deeper restrictions that often go untouched by other bodywork. Sessions are slower, more intuitive, and focus on lasting release rather than short-term relief.

What does it feel like during a session?

Most clients feel gentle stretching or melting sensations as the fascia unwinds. Some experience emotional releases or deep relaxation as tension patterns shift.

Is Myofascial Release safe for everyone?

Yes. Barnes MFR is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for nearly all clients, including those recovering from injuries, surgeries, or trauma.

How many sessions will I need?

Healing fascia takes time. While some feel relief after just one session, long-term issues may require multiple treatments for optimal release and alignment.

Can MFR help with emotional or energetic blocks?

 Yes. Fascia stores physical and emotional tension. Releasing it can create space for both physical healing and emotional clarity.
