What is Myofascial Stretching?
Unlike traditional stretching, myofascial release targets the fascia—the web-like connective tissue surrounding muscles. When fascia becomes tight (due to injury, stress, or inactivity), it restricts movement and causes pain. At Feel Better ATL, our certified practitioners use John Barnes’ methods to gently “melt” adhesions, offering long-term relief for Atlanta clients with sciatica, frozen shoulder, or plantar fasciitis.
How It Works
- Slow, Sustained Pressure: Therapists apply 3-5 minutes of gentle pressure to restricted areas (e.g., lower back).
- Fascial Unwinding: The fascia releases naturally, restoring elasticity.
- Home Care: Clients learn self-treatment with tools like foam rollers.
