@ccchang special training is necessary but I don’t know whether or not the training is required in order to perform MFR. I don’t know if PT’s can provide this service sufficiently since it’s not a primary service in PT billing codes and it’s a time intensive service. I have seen PT’s offer this service in my Southeast PA location.
It is not painful and entails sustained movement that is gentle and therapeutic. As a PT service it’s billable as manual therapy but MFR is not a covered service for insurance. Most MFR therapists are also massage therapists.

@jenatsky Thank you! I've gone through the links, very helpful and interesting. Unfortunately, there's only one therapist listed in Hawaii and she's on another island. I just emailed her to ask if she ever provides treatment on Oahu. I don't mind traveling to try a therapist but I'm thinking it probably requires a series of sessions not just one, correct?
