Transformative Care for Whole-Body Freedom

Myofascial Release

The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach® (JFB-MFR) is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with the body’s fascial system — the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. Over time, injury, stress, or trauma can cause this tissue to tighten, creating pain and limited movement.

At Inner Essence, we use JFB-MFR to release these restrictions, allowing your body to return to a state of balance and fluidity. Each session is guided by your body’s natural rhythm — never forced — creating space for both physical and emotional healing.

Benefits of Myofascial Release include:

  • Relief from chronic pain and muscle tension
  • Improved flexibility and posture
  • Enhanced mobility and joint function
  • Emotional release and nervous system regulation
  • Deep relaxation and overall well-being

Our practitioners, Dan Bosy (Registered Physiotherapist) and Lisa Martin Bertschy (Registered Massage Therapist), are both trained in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach®, bringing extensive experience and compassionate care to every session. These sessions are covered by extended health benefits under the paramedical services of Massage Therapy and Physiotherapy.
