Therapy On the Rocks

Specialties

Therapy on the Rocks, John F. Barnes, Western Myofascial Release Treatment Center, specializes in a form of body work called Myofascial Release. Myofascial Release is a very effective, whole body, hands on technique which provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain, restore motion and promote relaxation.

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.

Traditional therapies tend to treat the symptoms caused by the pressure of the «straightjacket» of the Myofascial system, but does nothing about the «straightjacket» of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms. Only Myofascial Release treats the entire Myofascial mind/​body complex eliminating the pressure of the restricted Myofascial system (the straightjacket) that causes the symptoms.
