The person who came up with the style of myofascial release that I practice, that I took many seminars from starting in 2014, has died today. John F Barnes is (was?) an instructor that will always leave an imprint on my work and on my heart.

I frequently work with people who have chronic pain conditions. Myofascial release therapy is NOT a "Quick Fix". ​It IS a partnership, definitely not your traditional "massage". Myofascial Release goes beyond structure and can be a doorway to awareness of other issues which can be very supportive along with counseling, meditation and gentle movement practices. For those with chronic pain, what are your go-to holistic ways to keep being able to participate in life?

Is all the snow removal having your body say "Hey, I'm not used to this, I'm getting really sore. Help!" Some myofasical release could be a good answer to this plea. Also, a reminder that if the weather outside is truly frightful, contact me or I'll contact you and let's find a time to reschedule that's safer for travel. :-)

An Excerpt from one of the blogs about MFR - you can find the rest on my webpage www.ChrisAckermann.com. "To understand MFR, we must first understand what is fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue of the body. It surrounds other tissues –muscles, bones, organs, and nerves and provides support to your organs, helping to keep them in place. Tendons, ligaments, and scar tissue are examples of specialized fascia.

Fascia contains MANY sensory nerves that allow you to feel what’s happening on the inside of your body. When working properly, it provides support, allows smooth movement, helps stabilize the body, and maintains balance. It also contributes to proprioception—the body's sense of position." Is your fascia not quite working properly? Come in for a consult or schedule an appointment.

Drama. It seems that every family has some and the Holidays bring it out in full force. Meditation won't stop the drama. It can help you "weather the storm". Are you willing to take a look into your own awareness? Come to meditation Saturday prepared to feel and let go

We're just about 2 weeks away from the last Inner Awareness Meditation of the year. Take some time to ground and center before the Holiday Season arrives - it's going to be here before we know it!
