Whole Body Healing MFR, JFB Myofascial Release

18/11/2025

After an accident left me unable to walk for two months and in an Aspen collar for three, my body ached with trauma and tightness. My neck was so locked it barely moved, and the vertigo was a constant 10 once the collar was removed.

As someone with a deep knowledge of holistic healing, I interviewed several MFR therapists before finding Kathryn and instantly knew she was the one. Her presence is calm, grounded, and intuitive. She doesn’t just treat fascia; she listens to it.
From the first session, I felt profound change. The heaviness began to lift, my neck started to move, and the vertigo eased almost overnight from an 10 to a 2. After my second session, I felt taller, lighter, and finally free inside my own body.

Kathryn’s work is precise yet soulful equal parts science and spirit. She creates safety where the body can finally let go.

If you’re healing from injury, surgery, or trauma, her myofascial work is not just treatment, it’s transformation.
“My flow is my freedom.”
That’s what Kathryn helped me remember.

During a Myofascial Release session, gentle pressure is applied into an area of restriction, slowly, like sinking into soft clay. This is done without sliding on the skin, that's why I don't use lotion or oil and I ask that you come in with dry skin. If my hands are sliding on the skin, we are only releasing the elastin of the connective tissue, which gives a temporary result.
After about 2 minutes of sustained compression, the collagen adhesions begin to let go. Then I continue my pressure for 5-10 minutes or more, for each restriction, which allows the solidified ground substance to soften and begin 'rehydrating', allowing for more freedom of movement. Waiting for this change to occur, is key to giving a longer lasting result.

“Kat wasn’t just trimming the weeds, she was pulling them”! I had two life-long issues: (often extreme) pain and tightness in my left neck, that would occasionally get aggravated and lead to sleepless nights and headaches.
I also had an extremely tight right hip flexor, and lack of mobility there.  If I was sleeping on my back with one leg bent up in a “figure 4” position, it would pull on my hip and abdomen and hurt - plus I couldn’t get my leg anywhere close to flat.

I had tried massage therapy, foam rolling, PNF stretching, etc.  Was recommended to try MFR, by a friend which led me to Kat.

These photos give you an idea of what happens at your initial evaluation appointment. We go over your health history and I provide some fascia education.

Then I take a look at your posture and alignment, while you are standing. Everything looks different when you are lying down, I’m looking for tightness, pulls or restrictions through your system.

Next is your Myofascial release treatment. I address your pain or discomfort and then look for the root cause.

A client the other day, said, "Before I tried MFR, I thought you had to push hard or force to get anything to change, but you are using light pressure and helping me more than anything else I’ve tried!"

This client had fibromyalgia pain and tension for the past 30 years and finally got some relief from their symptoms with Myofascial Release, MFR. Healing is a process but it is possible.

Here are several links to websites where Fascia is being discussed. There aren’t many clinical trials proving that MFR is effective as a treatment, due to every body’s fascial system being so different to begin with, and each one having its own, individual set of particular restrictions or patterns of tension, that the usual ‘clinical controlled trial’ isn’t possible.
However, the article listed below from CNN, does list a couple studies.

There are many books, written by Physical Therapists and other Myofascial Release Therapists who have gotten permission from their patients to share their success stories. So, the data is being collected, and shown, as this treatment becomes more mainstream. In addition, over the 50+ years that PT John F. Barnes has been practicing and teaching this modality, he says patients are healing and having improvement without being injured, since the treatment is so gentle.

I've written about this in the past, but just did a revision since I wanted to update some wording and add links to research. Let me know if you have any questions.

I’ve been asked what I think about a popular tool called the ‘Fascia Blaster’. People hear the word fascia and since I practice Myofascial Release, want to know how this tool relates to what I do. It’s a complicated subject, but, my short answer is, this tool does not treat fascia the same w...
