Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain

Just had my 3rd myofascial session yesterday afternoon. I did not have to wake up during the night to use the restroom. That hasn’t happened in a long time due to my IC. Could also be because of the magnesium supplement I just started taking 2 days ago to help with sleep. The therapist asked me to give it 5 sessions to see if it offers any relief from my sciatica so I’m going by that plan. It is a pleasurable feeling having it done and she shares many of John Barnes insights before we begin the session and some tidbits during.

Hi busterbrwn, I was wondering if your insurance covers the MFR sessions, as you had mentioned previously the high cost of steroid injections which are usually covered. When I located a MFR specialist in my area he charged $175/hr. and insurance did not cover it. My husband did not end up going as he ended up having surgery. If my P/T performs MFR (not a specialist) it would be covered. I am curious as to the difference between a specialist performing this as opposed to a general P/T. Helen
