@mariajean03 To find a therapist trained in the John Barne's method of myofascial release, you may search at this website, https://www.mfrtherapists.com/

I am not aware of any therapists doing this at Mayo, and most MFR therapists are physical therapists or massage therapists in private practice. My therapist has done some MFR work that was covered by Medicare, but it has to be a specific issue that can be improved by therapy within several weeks, otherwise Medicare considers it to be maintenance and won't cover that. It has to be for regaining function such as range of motion for example, and not just for pain because they don't cover therapy for pain. It is best to ask a therapist who has provided service to Medicare patients about what would or would not be allowed under Medicare coverage. It may be worth it to pay out of pocket if it makes your quality of life better to at least try it and see if it can help.

Only therapist in my area charges hourly--does not accept insurance.
