Free Your Body From Past Trauma With Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate pain and tension by targeting the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs in the body. This holistic approach addresses not only physical ailments but also emotional and mental trauma, providing comprehensive healing. MFR involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching to release fascial restrictions, improve mobility, and promote overall well-being. By focusing on the fascia, MFR helps to restore balance and function to the body, facilitating the release of past traumas and supporting a pain-free existence. This therapy empowers people to actively participate in their own healing process, creating a deeper connection with their bodies and enhancing their quality of life.
In this episode, we talk about myofascial release (MFR) and its impact on our ability to heal emotional and physical wounds with a special guest, Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed the course of her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor of the John. F Barnes MFR therapy, which she has now practiced for over 25 years
