Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain

My P/T was not Barnes trained and he sort of pooh-poohed it which led me to believe he was not adept. If I get to the point of needing MFR I will pay the $175/hr. ! My one and only specialist in the area has a 2 month waiting list and it may be longer now. Helen

@helennicola I pay less than $100hr for a Barnes trained therapist. I believe she is classified as a Master level. I may just be lucky to live in an area that has a greater # of them that drives down the price. I so look forward to when my therapist and I get to the point of internal myofascial massage for my IC. I’ve read that that’s been helpful for many IC sufferers

Hi @helennicola. If you are home bound, have you considered home health? With an acceptable health insurance, the home health agency can send a PT out to you (your home) at no cost to you. An order from your physician will be needed for the admittance along with the diagnoses for the PT to treat. I believe no special equipment will be needed to get treatment with MFR. Make sure you choose an agency that can provide MFR. Remember it is your decision for the agency and not the doctor’s The doctor can certainly make a recommendation. Good luck. Wish you the best with finding MFR treatment! Toni
