@mpirruccel Myofascial release isn't supposed to hurt, and it doesn't use aggressive tools. I know there was something called a fascia blaster, but that wasn't MFR. If it hurts and forces are too aggressive, you risk tearing the fascia causing more scar tissue and just making it worse. MFR is very gentle pressure and you just wait for the fascia to unwind itself. This is how the John Barns methods work as the inventor of the method through the skilled hands of the therapist who can feel the pathways of tight tissues and apply gentle pressure, like pushing to kneed bread dough, except you push and hold the pressure and just wait.

What were the methods that you were describing?
