I will patiently await an answer to this.

@butterflywings and @skeleton I just found your question. The reason the John Barnes approach to fascial release is preferred is because it is gentle and slow and allows the fascia time to unwind itself and reorganize. If you stretch it too aggressively, the body resists and fights against the stretch, or it can rip and tear the fascia causing scar tissue to form and making the problem worse. The fascia is changing from a semi-solid to a liquid to be able change shape and move. If you imagine a spider building a web, then backing up, undo the work and building it in a new place, this is similar to what happens. The fascia can have scar tissue from injuries, surgery, or adhesions that are complex and need slow gentle pressure to fix. This video will demonstrate how this happens in living fascia. At about 13 minutes into the video, they start explaining how the fascia moves.
