Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain

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

Toni, no, luckily I am not home bound. I was seeing a P/T for my hip and neck who was not trained in the Barnes method of MFR. If I feel the need in the future, I will see the specialist I previously mentioned despite the cost. I am surprised though that insurance doesn’t cover it. Is it because those trained in MFR are not considered certified P/T’s due to lack of a degree in physical therapy and have only just taken this special training? Helen
