Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release – what is that?  Many people have never heard of this practice before.  At Easton Pilates, Judy Hudson is one of the few instructors trained in the John Barnes Myofascial method. 

The fascia is a tough connective tissue which spreads throughout the entire body from head to toe without interruption.  John Barnes is an internationally recognized physical therapist, lecturer, author, and the leading authority on Myofascial Release.  Through his 50 years of experience and creative insight, he has developed an innovative and highly effective whole body approach for the evaluation and treatment of pain and dysfunction.

A myofascial therapist will scan the whole body for restrictions and assess for postural dysfunction. After examination of skin and tissue integrity, the skilled hands of the therapist will apply light to moderate timed pressure into the fascia and wait for a release. The therapist will repeat this timed pressure into various areas of fascia until each restriction has released enabling muscles to stretch and elongate promoting a lasting affect.
