Myofascial Freedom and Wellness

Shared from another Myofascial Release therapist!

Yes. And there’s a reason for that.

I don’t encourage scheduling 6 sessions to fill
my schedule.
I encourage it because I know what actually
works.

One session introduces you to myofascial
release, to me, and to how I work.
You’ll likely feel better.
It will last longer than a typical massage.

But one session does not create lasting change.

In the beginning, your body needs consistency.
It needs repetition to soften long-held patterns,
build trust, and start reorganizing in a way that
sticks.

That’s why I recommend booking multiple
sessions up front.
Not because you’re locked in.
If you decide it’s not for you, we simply cancel
the remaining appointments.

But most people don’t cancel.
They realize their body needs the time.
They say, “This is what my body has been
wanting.”
And they’re glad they have it scheduled.

I’m not the on-call “fix it” guy.
I’m not who you call when you need to get in
tomorrow.

I’m who you call when nothing else has helped
and you’re ready to make real, lasting changes.

I want you to succeed with this work.

So if you’re committed and you’re ready
Welcome to Kinetic Wellness Myofascial
Release.

It is with sadness we share the passing of John F. Barnes. John was the founder of the Myofascial Release technique we use here at our clinic. He was 86 years old when he passed away, having lectured to thousands of therapists for over 50+ years. We both were lucky enough to have heard him lecture in person.

We are grateful to John for his work, and the ability to share it with others! Well done and welcome home. May he rest in peace.

With love,
Shawna and Lacey

A great book on self treatment! This was written by a myofascial release therapist. We have a copy in our clinic as well!

Did you know most of us are dehydrated? The fascial system is made up of at least 70% water. Proper hydration of fascia is crucial for its function, as it helps maintain the movement and flexibility of tissues in the body!

We recommend taking your body weight and dividing it in half. That is approximately the amount of ounces of fluid you need to consume daily to avoid dehydration.

Check the chart below. This is a great visual reminder to check in with yourself throughout the day!

Tinnitus — some say TIN-it-is… some say tin-EYE-tis. You do you.

Tinnitus is when you experience ringing or other noises in one or both of your ears. The noise you hear when you have tinnitus isn't caused by an external sound, and other people usually can't hear it. Tinnitus is a common problem. It affects about 15% to 20% of people, and is especially common in older adults.

This is an especially common symptom in our patients. Often head/neck injury, post virus, jaw clenching, and simply “stress” can cause this phantom sound to appear and cause distress. In some cases, we have found myofascial release helpful to decrease the sound, as it takes away the fascial pressure and calms the central nervous system.

I (Shawna) have tinnitus. I had covid several years back. I also unfortunately hit my head that week, super unlucky 😆. Whichever it was, it left me with some intense high pitched ringing that is constantly with me. As my body has healed over the years, it has remained. I’ve tried numerous remedies, therapy approaches, consulted with ENT etc. I’m about to embark on the newest one, and wanted to share my journey with you all.

This week I will begin Lenire training. Feel free to google it for now 😜. I will post more about it as I dive into it. I’m excited to try it and hopeful it may help.

For those of you who have experienced tinnitus… how do YOU pronounce it? And what has helped it in your personal story?
