Is there someone in the Saint Louis Mo, area providing MFR?

thanks for sharing this information was enlightening

Hi, Jennifer: Do you know if Barnes' myofascial release techniques can be used on people who have osteoporosis? Mine is advanced, but I am on a med to build back bone -- Tymlos. I also have lumbar spinal stenosis. I have been told by two reputable physical therapists that techniques to treat the stenosis are quite the opposite of what's good for osteoporosis. My instinct is that a great number of my back and leg pain problems stem from fascia issues and a torqued pelvis, so I am interested in myofascial treatment. But I am also wary of the possibility of fracture. I am not seeing literature on myofascial release & osteoporosis. Do you have any knowledge in this area? Thanks for any help you can give!
