Radiance MFR

It is with a heavy heart I share the passing of John F. Barnes on December 19th, 2025.
The true father of Myofascial Release, a highly intuitive visionary, John not only transformed the lifes of countless people, he also trained an army … a tribe of practitioners to carry on this profound and truly life-changing work.
I am BLESSED to have had the privilege of sitting at the feet of this master to learn from the best, a GIFT.

Here is the song/artist John loved:

The Pelvis and sphenoid are intrinsically linked. In MFR we get both functioning optimally!

The sphenoid and pelvis mirror each other more than most people realize.

Both have a central ‘body’ with wing-like expansions, both function as structural keystones, and both anchor major myofascial and ligamentous systems.

Because their shapes — and roles — parallel each other, rotation or tension in one region can echo through the dural, fascial, and CNS pathways to influence the other.

In PT, we don’t just treat what hurts. We treat the patterns — and these two structures often share the same story.

"Where the Rubber Hits the Road”

Unu Tran and Rob Crampton,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unu and Rob stated this interview with Terrence Howard had myofascial release written all over it. I think you’ll find it quite interesting. I’d suggest you all listen to it.
Here is the link to the podcast:

You’ll hear the themes that you’ve heard during my Myofascial Release seminars multiple times. The power of vortices, how the Euclidean geometry that scientists use has to do with a flat two-dimensional world that doesn’t exist. Myofascial Release has clearly shown us the fractal world of multi dimensions. Fractal geometry is the precision that scientists need to utilize. I highly recommend reading Victor Schauberger’s book on vortices. He is an absolutely incredibly brilliant man.

Rob mentioned Walter Russell. I read his books many years ago – another brilliant person. There is a book that you may want to read called “The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe” by Glen Clark. It’s a small book, sort of like an encapsulation of Walter Russell’s life and many of his incredible ideas. He has written many other books that I think you will find interesting.

Walter Russell goes on to say that we are operating from mediocrity when we are in the self-inflicted and programmed state of channel 5. Another thing that Walter Russell says is that greatness is not written in books, nor can they be found in schools, they are from our inner consciousness, which is channel 3. To quote Mark Twain, I am not sure I have it exactly correctly but basically, he said “it took me years to get over my education!” 😊

Peter Bort has an incredible mind and I’d be curious of your insights about all of this. So many of the things that came up in these videos are the concepts we’ve discussed multiple times in my Myofascial Release seminars - our fractal universe, there are no straight lines in our world, the importance to be centered in channel 3, how our programming has stifled our potential. Also Dr. Rupert Shelldrake, an incredible scientist from Cambridge University, England, has written a fascinating book called “The Presence of the Past” where he expands upon his theory of morphic resonance. It’s interesting to me that so much of what I have shared with you all at seminars came to me directly from my intuition and experience and curiosity of treating patients over 40 years ago.
I was able to meld together this beautiful mosaic that I now call the Myofascial Release approach. It’s good to see that some scientists are looking beyond their limitations of their traditional paradigm and exploring the scientific rationale that begins to describe what we do every day with our hands, mind and heart.

The bottom line is we are doing what science is looking for, results! Magnificent results that are profound, beautiful and enlightening and freeing others from significant pain. This is authentic therapy!
Myofascial Release is where the rubber hits the road!...It’s important to conceptualize things but without proper action it is meaningless. The action and theory of traditional therapy is terribly incomplete and flawed. We are all achieving the compassionate results that everyone so desperately needs.

You are all amazing geniuses. To unleash your latent potential, be treated by a Myofascial Release therapist that you trust, treat yourself regularly and attend and/or re-attend the seminars. The highly charged power of the environment of the seminars allows us to make massive changes in a short period of time.
Know that your potential will be fully realized! My intuition never let me down, nor will yours. Trust your intuition!

I love you
John

Mechanoreceptors are a remarkable part of the fascial system. They are the microscopic sensory “listening stations” embedded throughout fascia that constantly read pressure, stretch, tension, vibration, and movement. They allow the body to feel itself from the inside. Without mechanoreceptors, movement would be clumsy, uncoordinated, and disconnected. With them, movement becomes fluid, responsive, and intelligent.

Fascia is loaded with various types of mechanoreceptors, each communicating with the nervous system in its own unique way. Ruffini endings respond to slow, sustained pressure and create a parasympathetic calming effect. Pacinian corpuscles respond to vibration and rapid changes in pressure, helping the body coordinate sudden movements. Interstitial receptors monitor subtle stretches, tensions, and internal shifts; they comprise nearly eighty percent of fascial sensory input and directly influence pain perception. Golgi receptors, found near ligaments and tendon insertions, respond to deep stretch and help down-regulate muscular tension.

When a bodyworker touches fascia, these receptors are the very first structures to respond. Slow, sustained contact helps melt hypertonicity because Ruffini endings signal to the nervous system, “It’s safe to soften.” Deep or directional stretch activates Golgi receptors, signaling muscles to lengthen. Gentle vibration or oscillation stimulates Pacinian receptors, enhancing proprioception and enabling joints to move with greater confidence. Even the quietest technique, a still fascial hold, stimulates interstitial receptors, which can modulate pain and reduce sympathetic overdrive.

Altogether, mechanoreceptors weave the sensory intelligence of fascia. They are the reason the body can adapt, coordinate, stabilize, and move with fluid grace rather than mechanical force. They turn every subtle change in tension into information the brain uses to refine posture, balance, and movement patterns.

So when we work with fascia, we’re not just stretching tissue. We’re communicating with an enormous sensory network that shapes how someone moves, feels, and inhabits their body. Mechanoreceptors are part of the reason fascia is both biomechanical and deeply emotional.

Profound work!
