@mlross4508 @dmac5 Myofascial release is wonderful. It takes patience and it works. I've been doing this for several years and even had some great progress yesterday while working a tight muscle that my PT worked on earlier in the week that has been interfering with my breathing for a few years. I have thoracic outlet syndrome which is a nerve entrapment problem caused by tight fascia, and MFR helped with my recovery form spine surgery and breaking up the surgical scar tissue. My PT is an expert level therapist in the John Barnes methods and taught me a lot. We have a Connect discussion on MFR at this link where I've collected some information and videos. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/

Unfortunately for me, I checked into certified MFR practitioners in my area too late in the year and it’s about a two hour drive to anyone from where I live anwith working full time and winter weather for the next many months, I will need to wait——-but I will check into it next summer!
