RIP John F. Barnes. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
This man leaves behind a sacred legacy.

Nearly 20 years ago, I knew my next step as a physical therapist was a deeper exploration into hands-on healing. Around that time, a brochure arrived in the mail for the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release training, and I felt an immediate, unmistakable pull.

After my very first course, I released a 3-year history of back pain. I still remember running pain-free for the first time, without the sharp dagger that had lived in my body.

That moment began an immersive journey into authentic MFR training and healing, womenโ€™s health and pelvic floor therapy.

This work transformed my life personally and professionally, leading me to step away from traditional PT and build a practice rooted in whole-person healing. Along the way, I found a tribe of friends who became family. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

If youโ€™ve experienced the John Barnes approach to Myofascial Release, you know itโ€™s more than a technique, itโ€™s a way of listening, trusting, and honoring the bodyโ€™s wisdom.

Johnโ€™s work lives on at Quantum PT & Wellness.

Get inverted! Whether itโ€™s an inversion table, hips on pillows or a block, headstand etc.

This is why itโ€™s important, not only for your pelvic floor but your your entire nervous system. ๐Ÿ‘‡

When you hang upside down, gravity helps reset your breathing muscle, your diaphragm, so you can take fuller, deeper breaths.

Your diaphragm and pelvic floor work together. When you take a deep, full breath, your diaphragm moves down and your pelvic floor naturally follows. When you exhale, both rise back up. This relationship creates stability for your spine and organs, supports healthy pelvic function, and even calms your nervous system.

The problem is, youโ€™re not breathing well. You canโ€™t take that deep relaxing breath like you feel when you yawn. Youโ€™re restricted, whether because of posture or stress. Now youโ€™re breathing into your shoulders causing tightness and strain.

Learning to breathe well is one of the most powerful ways to move, feel, and function better. Itโ€™s why itโ€™s the first thing I teach with my pelvic floor patients.

That deep breathing also activates your vagus nerve, which is like a โ€˜brake pedalโ€™ for your nervous system. It tells your body youโ€™re safe, helps release tension, and brings you out of fight-or-flight.

I use the inversion table not just to decompress my spine and joints, but to decompress my nervous system.

If you choose an inversion table, please buy a quality one. Maybe skip that old one you found at the yard sale. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

๐ŸŒฟ As a holistic physical therapist, my approach to true healing isnโ€™t about just fixing your painโ€ฆ itโ€™s about helping you restore balance so you can move with ease, feel energized and resilient, and return to the activities you enjoy.

As a physical therapist, I use the authentic John Barnes approach to Myofascial Release.

As a wellness consultant, I offer additional support for oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction and metabolic health.

Here are 3 pillars I use with my patients (and myself) to support lasting transformation: ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ Myofascial Release โ€“ Fascia holds onto tension, restriction, and even emotion. When itโ€™s released, your body opens up, pain decreases, posture improves, and freedom of movement returns. Empowering you with self-treatment MFR techniques is a priority to help you move towards consistent self-care.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Cellular Activation โ€“ Instead of adding more โ€œstuffโ€ into your body, this helps your cells turn on their own defense system against oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, activating mitochondria and metabolic health. Activation works WITH your natural physiology to create the optimal conditions for health and healing.

๐Ÿ’ง TrueScience Liquid Collagen โ€“ This is a big one! Why??

You naturally begin to lose collagen in your twenties. From that point on, your body produces about 1โ€“2% less collagen each year.

That gradual decline shows up as ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น Stiffer joints & slower recovery
๐Ÿ”น Fine lines and wrinkles in the ski
๐Ÿ”น Weaker connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, fascia)
๐Ÿ”น Reduced elasticity and resilience overall

By the time youโ€™re in your 40s and 50s, that loss becomes much more noticeable, which is why collagen activation (not just supplementation) can make such a big difference.

The collagen I use activates your bodyโ€™s ability to produce its own collagen, restoring strength and flexibility to your skin, joints and connective tissue.

โœจ When you support your body at the fascial, cellular, and connective tissue level, you donโ€™t just fix the symptom. Instead, you repair and thrive beyond the original cause of the problem.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Curious about how this could support your own health journey? Letโ€™s get to the root. Comment below or send me a DM for more info.

โœจ Sometimes the simplest shift in energy starts with rearranging a room.

In psychology, changing your environment can help shift your perspective, boost creativity, and even lighten your mood. In wellness, we see it as creating flow, not just in the space, but in the mind and body too.

I gave my treatment a deep clean and rearranged my floor plan, and it already feels different. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ

Do you ever rearrange a room just to bring in new energy?

Itโ€™s totally normal to occasionally experience disrupted sleep, but ongoing sleep deprivation can do more than just cause fatigue.

Lack of restorative sleep:
โ€” Impacts how your brain processes pain
โ€” Lowers your pain threshold
โ€” Ramps up inflammation

If youโ€™re in pain and not sleeping, know this:

Prioritizing rest is not a luxury, itโ€™s part of your healing.

The good news?
If youโ€™re not getting good sleep, I have natural ways to help improve both sleep and inflammation.

Your MFR sessions will be even more effective in less time.

***A safe, supportive space for mamas and their littles***

Today was a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do. One of my new mamas brought her sweet baby girl to her session. Not only did mama get the care her body needs, but baby did too!

I gently supported baby with a little myofascial unwinding (which those tiny digestive systems LOVE) She had two poops during her visit and she stayed calm and happy the entire time. ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ˜Š

Mama even got to nurse while being treated, allowing for a seamless, nurturing experience for them both.

At Quantum Physical Therapy & Wellness, we welcome new moms and their babies. You donโ€™t have to choose between caring for your body and caring for your little one.

This is a space where both can be honored, supported, and treated together.๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿผ

Are you a new mom needing some pelvic floor therapy?

Book online at www.quantumptwellness.com and letโ€™s set up a pre-treatment call to discuss your needs.

Itโ€™s when the body starts to release years of tension, and instead of instant relief, things may feel more intense.

Itโ€™s messy and uncomfortable, but itโ€™s also a sign that deep healing is happening. Sometimes things have to fall apart to be transformed in a new way. Traditional methods often manage symptomsโ€ฆbut never truly reorganize the body.

Back in 2010, I was 3 years into running my private practice in the heart of Georgetown, Washington DC. It was a dream I had for years that divinely came to fruition in 2007. When I was 3 months from giving birth to my first son, I was torn.

How could I give 100% to both?

It felt like a part of me was dying.
I eventually coined it an โ€œego burialโ€ because it was something I identified with, but it wasnโ€™t who I truly was.

On the other sideโ€ฆ
I discovered a freedom I hadnโ€™t experienced before.
