I checked the website for the myofasical and the closest one is an hour away. Not bad but worried about that drive right now. Do you know anything about Fasical Counerstrain? I looked that up and only one person is here in Kentucky. Just didn't know the difference.

@bearmiller03 I had not heard of fascial counterstrain. There may be some overlap in technique, but I don't know how aggressive this is. If you do want to look for a John Barne's certified myofascial release practitioner, you can call Therapy on the Rocks and ask if there is anyone in your area. This is the practice where the therapists are trained, and not all pay for a listing on the MFR website.

The good thong about MFR is it is gentle, and like kneading bread dough in slow motion. You apply a slight shearing push and just hold it and wait for the tissue to release which may take a few minutes. You don't want to be too aggressive because if the fascia gets torn with too much force, it just introduces more scar tissue and that causes more tightness and pressure.
