Myofascial Release Eases Restrictions for Better Motion

Jun 30, 2023 12:00AM ● By Natural Awakenings Milwaukee
Massage therapist Tony Grimm of White Wolf MFR is certified in the John Barnes Physical Therapy approach to myofascial release (MFR). The MFR technique helps release restrictions in fascia, the connective tissue that runs like a three-dimensional web throughout the body. The MFR technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Grimm says MFR is effective in addressing pain from tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, migraines, surgeries, broken or sprained ankles, strained muscles and tendons, and pain from other accidents or injuries. The treatment takes one or more sessions to be effective. Grimm also demonstrates self-care that clients can do at home. (He notes that MFR is not effective in helping arthritis, diabetic neuropathy or permanent nerve damage.) Grimm sees clients by appointment only (no walk-ins).
