About the eBook


Fascia is the new frontier in understanding the human body. Tight fascia can put pressure on all our body systems, creating problems and symptoms that traditional medicine can’t explain. J.F. Barnes myofascial release practitioners have understood for decades how effective myofascial release is for people with pain. Science is finally catching up. Whether you have pain that is vaguely annoying or chronic pain that has been affecting your life for years, myofascial release can help.


This book provides a simple and easy-to-understand look at fascia, the principles of myofascial release therapy, and how to apply them so you can treat yourself. The author expands on the basic principles with her many years of experience as a healthcare provider, yoga instructor, and expert in posture and body alignment. You will take the principles she uses with her clients and apply them to yourself.


In this book, you will find step-by-step instructions with pictures so you can follow along and find the relief you are searching for. You will also be guided to make simple adjustments, adaptations and use simple tools to get the just-right release for your body. We are not all the same and need an individualized approach to addressing our pain. With the right guidance and some simple tools, you can reach places in YOUR body and finally find relief.
