@arcuri24 the MFR therapist is across between acupressure and a deep intense massage. It is painful. Sometimes recovery takes me a day or two. But it’s pretty amazing as I stand straighter and taller and I have less pain. I am 68 years old and my degenerative physical condition has taken its toll. So muscles and bones don’t stay in place and they go into spasm and that spasm state pulls and tugs on other parts of my body and pulls them into the pain as well. Sometimes our muscles start moving together as the fascia that covers the muscle acts like a gloomy substance that gets glued together. The MFR therapist pushes on the muscles until they unglue and they move separately. This promotes more strength and endurance. I am climbing up stairs and the ladder to put up my Halloween decorations, like I’m 15 years younger than I was last year.

I live in a duplex apartment with bathroom only on second floor so I am up and down stairs--no problem and its a way of getting in some cardio. I, too, have degeneration so your method of getting out of pain is of interest to me. I will see if I can get MFR therapy--I am in NYC--surely there must be some facility/therapist that does this type of therapy. It sounds like you may have found a fountain of youth.

@loriesco
What is an MFR therapist and do you find them through your doctors with insurance, or is this outside insurance (in the US)?
