Hi @judybearden1 and @tracy70 Thanks so much for introducing Tracy to MFR. I thought I woud add just a bit and some video a video that might be helpful. MFR is, as Judy has said, Myofascial Release Therapy. Experts who have studied for years with John Barnes work from an understanding of how the fascia in our body connects all of the parts that enable our bodies to move. Remember the song....the leg connected to the hip bone, etc. That is kind of what fascia does for us.

Here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW0lvOVKDxE

The treatment for tight and restricted fascia begins with a therapist who finds restrictions that cause pain and discomfort. The goal is to release them so they do not hinder and cause pain.

Connect has a discussion about MFR here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/

For additional information go to http://www.myofascial.com

At this point, I have two MFR sessions a week for my SFN (small fiber neuropathy). It keeps me moving and helps me have a smile on my face.

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