Good evening Nancy, @banksnc49, Hi there. Yes, you did not see neuropathy listed because it is not been blessed by the appropriate officials. However, it is blessed by folks with neuropathy far beyond any other PT program. That is why it is called a treatment. I began MFR 5 or so years ago right after my diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy. I am not one to get excited about treatments like this but I totally trusted the therapist who recommended it. I had known her for at least 15 years and appreciated her bringing her new MFR skills to my attention.

When I was living in both MN and CA, she found an MFR therapist for me here in MN. In part, because of her, I moved to MN lock, stock, and barrel. As you may know, neuropathy is a progressive condition. Last year, I began receiving MFR twice a week. I already know that sometime soon in my future, another session every week will be necessary.

Sometimes as she continues to release fascia restrictions throughout my body, I worry about folks who post on Connect about the neuropathic pain they cope with every day. MFR is the only answer for me to be able to live a somewhat normal life. Sometimes the restriction release can be momentarily painful. And then the "Ahhhh" happens and it is gone. Sometimes I don't feel the full benefit of an MFR treatment until the next day. And then again there is the "Ahhhh". Right now they are working on the after-surgery pain from a recent total knee replacement. My PT at the orthopedic center, when noting the discomfort said, "I think your MFR therapist can help you get rid of the pain you are having today in your knee". I went there right away and today I have absolutely no knee pain.

So MFR is not just for neuropathy. Chronic pain, surgical pain, accident pain. Any situation that causes the fascia to become layered and restricted will benefit from this type of therapy.

Where do you need help the most?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
