How is myofascial release different from a regular massage?

Myofascial release (John Barnes method) is a medically-oriented, structured approach that targets restrictions in the fascia rather than following a fixed massage routine. We assess how you move and hold tension, then focus the session on the areas driving your ongoing discomfort.

Richards Wellness and Massage is a Myofascial Treatment Center focused on the health and wellness of the Myofascial mind/body complex.. Offering a multifaceted treatment approach using Sound Resonance and Vibration together with the ARRC ATP_RFQ (Advanced Recovery Rejuvenation Chamber) offers clients an individualized unique, one of a kind healing experience at the quantum level.

Tailored together with JFB Myofascial Release offers an alternative to regular care (that treats the symptoms) rather than relaying on medication, injections, or surgerys to acheive lasting physcial changes. Only Myofascial release treats the entire mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restricted Myofascial system (the straightjacket) that causes the symptoms. Richards Wellness is the "Tip of the Arrow" in Quantum Healing

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain-sensitive structures that do not show up in many standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) The medical approach is to drug patients, so they are temporarily free from pain but do nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure causing the pain.

Traditional physical, occupational, and massage therapy treats the symptoms caused by the pressure of the “straightjacket” of the Myofascial system. Still, it does nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms. This is why so many patients only have temporary results, never seeming to get better with traditional therapy.

Fascia is the body's connective tissue. Its a continuous, three dimensional network that surrounds, supports and connects everything in your body. Its piezoelastic and piezoelectric which means it converts physcial movement into electrical energy. Its made of collagen, elastin and the fourth phase of water or structured water H30. This gel like water will go from a gel to a solid state it times of stress and injury, mental or physical, and back from a solid to a gel when released properly.

There are three different types of fascia that perform different jobs.

Superficial Fascia lays just under the skin. It contains fat nerves and blood vessels and contains 6 to 8 times move nerve ending than skin, making it highly sensitive, which is why massage can be so effective, temporarily.

Deep Fascia surrounds our muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels. Every single muscle fiber is wrapped like a sausage, making a muscle 80% fascia and only 20 % muscle. Its very strong and fibrous allowing it to be the control movement, up to 2000 lbs per square inch.

Visceral Fascia is a continuous network of connective tissues that encloses. supports and suspends internal organs with in the thoracic from the base of the skull thought the neck down into the pelvic .It shapes anchors and forms and protects the internal organs, specifically the heart, lungs, and intestines

Why Fascia Matters

Supports movement and flexibility - Posture and balance - Protects cushions your organs and muscles - Healthy Immune system - Less Pain - Connects Mind/Body - Reduced Stress

Using a whole-body approach that treats the continuous web of fascia surrounding muscles, nerves, blood vessels and internal organs. It's a safe, hands-on, physical therapy technique that applies gentle pressure into the body's connective tissues to eliminate pain and restore motion. Treats a variety of persistent issues that normal tests fail to pinpoint, including Chronic neck and back pain, Headaches and migraines, Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, Sports injuries, whiplash, Pelvic floor dysfunction and scar tissue restrictions

I’ve done several 20-minute sessions in the ARRC LED bed at Richard’s Wellness for back pain and muscle recovery, and it’s been a great experience. After each session I noticed less pain, better relaxation, improved mood, and even better sleep. The treatments are quick, calming, and really help my body recover. Richard was also very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely recommend Richard’s Wellness to anyone dealing with pain or looking for a good recovery treatment. 👍- Richard M.

Richard is amazing! Before I talk about his skills, I'd like to say that he has one of the most beautiful clinic settings I've seen. It's impeccably clean and bright and welcoming and decorated beautifully. As for his Massage therapy skills? Richard is amazing. I am also a massage therapist and I needed some work, but I had no focus area and just let Richard use his expertise. I also got a treatment in the ARC LED bed prior to my massage, and it was relaxing and honestly, my blood pressure went down as soon as I was done. My session included myofascial release, and the incredible tightness and holding that I had in my lower back and glutes released. I had no idea that I needed that! Richard is incredibly knowledgeable and professional and I have already booked my next appointment and I would encourage anyone who is suffering from tight fascial tissue and tight muscles to see him because he is what I refer to in the massage world as "A Fixer." I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Richard; see you next month! - Maureen
