No, no, no!
Let’s set the record straight! There are many common misconceptions about Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR), here are the top ones we hear:
It hurts - MFR uses gentle prolonged holds on the soft tissue to invite release. This is done intentionally and with gentle pressure and traction on the skin. We are never looking to cause pain or go beyond what someone can handle. We always prioritize what feels good for the client. Now, if you’re particularly tender from an injury or trauma to the area, any kind of touch or treatment may cause go sensation but we never want to deepen that pain or injury, we want to give you relief. After treatment, you may experience soreness in the area, but that would be akin to what you may feel after a workout.
It’s passive - while MFR may be a gentle and effective approach, don’t let it fool you! We are going right for those adhesions and trigger points! We don’t need to go hard and apply hard pressure to dig in, we just next intentional touch and patience.
It’s a form of massage - our setting is calming like that of a massage but MFR is very different. We do not use lubrication, our patients remained clothed, and we treat the targeted areas and may ask you to position yourself in ways to assist release.
It’s something you can do yourself with a foam roller - foam rollers are great! But they do NOT compare to a skilled MFR therapist that knows where to go and what to do to get you the relief you need!

She is working on a book that captures his wise words lessons and how to live a wonderful fulfilling life.

There are a variety of “roadblocks” we see with our patients but THIS is the most common one….
Fellow practitioners, what roadblocks do you experience?

Spring is in the air!
Longer, warmer days with so many signs of new growth! Migration birds returning and reminders of how the earth rebounds after a long, dark winter.
This shift of energy can be felt within as we may may also experience a surge in motivation. All the energy we turned inwards all winter towards our beautiful roots can now telescope to our blooms.
Riding this wave of invigoration and mimicking nature may manifest in a variety of ways! Feeling inspired and energized to put plans into action - perhaps in your professional or personal life.. it is the perfect time to act!
Follow what feels good, honor your needs and be kind to yourself. Fuel yourself well and take care of your mind, body, and soul.
As you have awaken from your hibernation, we invite you to explore the ways you show up to yourself. Those choices that support self-care. Are you eating well? Are you moving your body and exercising? Are you getting outside to breathe the fresh air and feel the sunshine? Are you taking time to be still and quiet with yourself?
Touch and connection are a part of the wellness formula. Particularly, intentional, gentle touch. Myofascial release therapy acknowledges the big role that emotions, trauma, and stored energy play. When you’re treated, we are mindful of this energetic exchange and also work on helping you clear what is stuck and stagnant.

Dry needling vs. Acupuncture
Same tool, different goal and method.
Both are great modalities with their own benefits. We find that dry needling is a great way to target those areas that are really holding onto tension.
During treatment with Jane, should she find an adhesion that could use this type of targeting attention, she may recommend dry needling.
The great news is that she is certified and has all the tools on hand to safely administer this from of treatment at no additional cost.
Some patients come to us asking for this service and we are happy to inform them that this is another tool in Jane’s toolbox. Once she has the chance to evaluate the patient, she will determine if they are a good candidate for dry needling and go from there!

After having tried several medications, which did not relieve my symptoms, My doctor highly recommended I give Myofascial Release and Dry needling a try. The pain in my body has reduced significantly since [my] first treatment. I attribute this success to Mrs. Franczak’s extensive knowledge of the medical part of her job and her obvious interest in her patient’s health and healing. Her understanding of the application of techniques are remarkable and quite impressive. Krys K, Easton, MD
Jane has magic hands! Besides my chiropractor, Jane has been the only one who can reach the problem areas in my body. I can feel the magic in her touch as she accesses the issues. I am so glad that I found her! Karin S. Cambridge, MD
