1,000 of you are here, and I feel that deeply.

I value each person who chooses to follow this work. I appreciate the trust it takes to engage with a quieter path to healing, one that honors patience, presence, and the wisdom of the body in a world that often rushes past it.

Every follow represents someone who recognizes that healing is intelligent, that the body holds memory, and that meaningful change happens when we listen rather than force. Some of you are clients. Some are colleagues. Some are fellow parents, neighbors, and friends. Some of you I have not met yet, and I still feel the resonance of why you are here.

Nostos Myofascial Release exists because of community. Because of people who share, refer, encourage, and speak honestly about their experiences. Because of those who understand that this work is layered, intentional, and deeply human.

I value this community more than I can express in a single post. I appreciate the support of a small, heart-led private practice and the care you bring to this space by simply being here.

I am deeply appreciative of you. 🤲🏼❤️

With Love & Reverence,
Ryan

New Braunfels community 🤍

I am Ryan, founder of Nostos Myofascial Release, and a New Braunfels native. I support people who are ready to address pain and tension at the level where it actually lives: the connective tissue and nervous system.

I currently have three 90-minute Myofascial Release sessions available this week for individuals experiencing pain, restriction, or loss of mobility that has lingered despite other care.

This work is John F. Barnes–trained Myofascial Release, a clinically established, hands-on approach that works with the fascia—the body-wide connective tissue system that influences muscles, nerves, joints, organs, circulation, and lymphatic flow.

When fascia becomes restricted from injury, surgery, inflammation, repetitive strain, or prolonged stress, it creates pressure and tension patterns that often drive persistent symptoms. Myofascial Release addresses these restrictions directly, allowing tissue to soften, hydrate, and reorganize so the body can move and function with greater ease.

This work is often supportive for:
• chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
• hip, pelvic, or jaw tension
• nerve symptoms such as tingling or radiating discomfort
• post-surgical or post-injury limitations
• pain that has lacked clear answers

Sessions are slow, attentive, and deeply focused. The intention is meaningful change, not quick fixes.

Each 90-minute session includes:
• a thorough clinical intake and visual assessment
• advanced John F. Barnes Myofascial Release techniques, including unwinding and rebounding
• Biofield tuning to support nervous system regulation
• guided self-treatment strategies to extend the work beyond the session

This week’s availability:
• Wednesday, January 28 — 11:30am
• Thursday, January 29 — 3:30pm
• Friday, January 30 — 1:30pm

Availability is limited and offered on a first-scheduled basis.

Hi 👋🏼, my name is Ryan with Nostos Myofascial Release, your local MFR practitioner. I am a Native to the gorgeous city of New Braunfels and look forward to helping our community heal through highly attuned bodywork.

I currently have three single-session openings available this week for individuals seeking relief from long-standing or unexplained pain, tension, or mobility limitations.

My practice focuses exclusively on John F. Barnes’ trained Myofascial Release, a clinically established approach that addresses the connective tissue system (fascia)—the body-wide matrix that surrounds muscles, nerves, joints, organs, and the vascular and lymphatic systems.

Fascial restrictions develop from injury, inflammation, surgery, repetitive strain, or prolonged stress. Over time, these restrictions create abnormal pressure on pain-sensitive structures, contributing to symptoms that often persist despite other interventions.

Myofascial Release stands apart because it:
• applies sustained, gentle pressure to allow fascia to soften and rehydrate
• reduces mechanical compression on nerves and joints
• improves circulation, lymphatic flow, and tissue glide
• supports measurable improvements in range of motion and functional movement
• works with the nervous system to create lasting change rather than temporary relief

This approach is frequently supportive for individuals experiencing:
• chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
• headaches or jaw tension
• pelvic or hip pain
• nerve symptoms such as tingling or radiating discomfort
• post-surgical or post-injury limitations
• pain that has persisted without clear imaging findings

Sessions are slow, attentive, and clinically informed. The goal is to create the conditions for the body to reorganize itself safely and effectively.

These openings are intended for those who value depth of care and are seeking a thoughtful, whole-body approach to healing.

All sessions are 90 minutes and include initial evaluation, ongoing visual and hands-on assessment, Biofield tuning, advanced MFR techniques such as rebounding and unwinding, hands-on treatment and self-treatment guidance.

WHAT IS FASCIA & WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Fascia is the body’s living web, a fluid, intelligent, connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve. It gives your body shape, stability, and the ability to heal.

More than just structure, fascia is sensory tissue that is rich in mechanoreceptors and nerve endings that detect pressure, stretch, vibration, pain, and movement. It adapts to your emotions, injuries, and daily habits.

When healthy, fascia is hydrated, flexible, and responsive, but it can become restricted by:
• Physical trauma (injury, surgery, posture)
• Emotional stress (fight-or-flight states)
• Repetitive strain or immobility

Restricted fascia loses fluidity and binds the body, often showing up as:
✔ Chronic neck and shoulder tension
✔ TMJ, migraines, or jaw pain
✔ Low back pain without diagnosis
✔ Hip, pelvic floor, or sacral instability
✔ Shallow breathing or rib tension
✔ Tingling, nerve pain, or a “stuck” feeling

These are fascial issues.

WHY MYOFASCIAL RELEASE?
John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with time, skilled touch, and attuned presence to restore your fascia’s natural flow. This is fascia-informed care.

Fascia connects to the nervous system and responds to emotion. It holds memory and adapts to how you live. A restriction in your hip can tug on your jaw. Trauma can remain long after the event. The body remembers.

Fascia can be reshaped. With MFR, the tissue rehydrates, reorganizes, and regains its fluid intelligence, freeing the body from the inside out.

Ready to return to your natural rhythm?
Whole-body care begins with the fascia.

Healing rarely follows a straight line. Fascia responds through consistency, time, and
relationship. When the body receives steady, intelligent care, it unwinds, hydrates, and
reorganizes at its own pace.

The Nostos Myofascial Release Care Plan is designed for those who feel ready to meet their body with continuity rather than isolated intervention. Each ninety-minute session creates the conditions for the fascial system and nervous system to soften, recalibrate, and restore communication over time.

Common Areas Supported Through This Care Plan:
• Post-surgical scar tissue and nerve pain
• TMJ, migraines, and jaw tension
• Neck, shoulder, and low back discomfort
• Hip and pelvic floor tension
• Stress patterns held in the body
• Nervous system overload and burnout
• Spiritual hygiene practices that support clarity, activation, and integration

This care plan supports a range of healing phases. Some bodies require higher-frequency care to build momentum. Others arrive ready for steady maintenance after earlier treatment. The structure of this care plan allows treatment frequency to evolve alongside your body, beginning where support is needed most and transitioning into longer-term maintenance across twelve months.

What This Care Plan Includes:
• Twelve ninety-minute private Myofascial Release sessions
• Ongoing visual and hands-on assessment
• Advanced Myofascial Release, including Rebounding and Unwinding
• Biofield Tuning integrated into care
• Individualized self-treatment guidance
• One-on-one feedback throughout your care plan
• Email correspondence for added support between sessions

Each element supports continuity, regulation, and sustained change within the body. Consistency builds trust within the nervous system. Time allows tissue to adapt. This care plan honors both.

If your body is ready for sustained support in 2026, the Nostos Myofascial Release Care Plan is
now available.

Our Myofascial Release community is grieving the loss of John F. Barnes.

John devoted his entire adult life to this work. He gave his time, his body, his voice, and his presence to teaching others how to listen to tissue, to pain, to the intelligence held within the human body. I had the privilege of training with him, and the way I practice today is inseparable from the way he taught: with patience, respect, and unwavering trust in the body’s capacity for expansion and release.

He taught relentlessly, generously, and with deep responsibility, working until his final breath with the hope that as many practitioners as possible would carry this work forward so more people could experience healing. Every Myofascial Release session offered with care and integrity reflects that devotion.

His work continues each time a body is met without force, each time space is given for true change to occur. The healing that unfolds through Myofascial Release reaches far beyond any one practitioner, touching lives in ways that often go unseen but are deeply felt.

Today, I hold profound gratitude for John, for his students, and for every person whose life has been changed through the work and love he dedicated himself to teaching.

This is the future of health care.

One of my favorite “Johnisms”

"What is a diagnosis but a myopic description of symptoms. Treat the damn person."

This work is life changing. When you are ready to truly release and expand, I welcome you with love, the way my mentor, the Father of Myofascial Release would have done.
“MFR is an act of love”
-John F. Barnes 🤍🕊️

Pain is not the enemy. It is information.

Unlike massage, which often targets muscle tone, MFR works directly with the fascial matrix; unwinding mechanical restrictions and restoring hydration, space, and glide.

Through sustained, gentle pressure and tuned presence rather than force, MFR decreases abnormal load on nociceptors, helping to desensitize the tissue and downregulate the sympathetic (stress) response.

The result? A system that no longer perceives the world as dangerous from the inside out.

At Nostos Myofascial Release, we use the John F. Barnes approach to Myofascial Release to address not only the structure of the fascia but its neurological signaling, treating the source of pain, not just the symptom.

Your body is communicating.

MFR helps it feel heard.

Sessions are private, 90 minutes, and intentionally limited to 12 clients per week.

What happens when fascia becomes restricted?

Injury, stress, inflammation, or repetitive strain can impair the elasticity and hydration of fascia, compressing delicate receptors and distorting the signals they send to the nervous system.

The result?

Misalignment, poor balance, dysfunctional movement patterns, and chronic pain that may feel mysterious or hard to trace.

This is where Myofascial Release (MFR) makes a profound difference.

Using gentle, sustained pressure and time, MFR restores the fluidity and adaptability of the fascial system. As the tissue softens, proprioceptors reawaken, recalibrating the body’s sense of self and movement. This process is more than structural, it is neurological.

You are not just being “stretched.” You are being repatterned at the level of body–mind communication.

Clinical studies confirm that manual therapies targeting fascia improve proprioception, postural control, and motor coordination, especially when applied slowly and with presence.

At Nostos Myofascial Release, this is my specialty.
I do not force or manipulate.
I listen.
I support your body’s natural capacity to unwind, realign, and remember how to feel safe inside itself.

Each touch is purposeful.
Each pause allows your proprioceptors time to recalibrate.
The more consistently we work, the deeper the body remembers.

Begin Your Repatterning Journey

You do not need to “push through” discomfort.
Your fascia is listening. Your proprioceptors are waiting.
Through slow, intentional release, I support the return of ease, orientation, and embodied clarity.

Are you ready to return to your sacred state of ease, without pain?

Why Gentle Pressure Sparks Deep Change

Mechanoreceptors are specialized sensory nerve endings found throughout your body, including in skin, muscles, joints, and critically, fascia.

These receptors detect mechanical changes such as pressure, stretch, vibration, and tension. When activated, they convert mechanical input into electrical signals that travel to the central nervous system, allowing your body to respond appropriately to movement, load, and touch.

Mechanoreceptors are the interface between the physical body and the nervous system. When fascia is dehydrated, restricted, or scarred, mechanoreceptor signaling becomes impaired.

This disrupts the body’s ability to adapt, regulate tension, and heal.

Supporting fascial health through Myofascial Release reawakens these receptors, restoring sensory clarity, movement freedom, and physiological harmony.

Only twelve clients are seen per week. This limited-care structure ensures a sacred, individualized experience.

Your healing path begins the moment you say yes.

I am honored to answer any inquiries exclusively submitted via email and support your journey to a pain free, active lifestyle.

Your fascia does more than hold you together—it communicates, remembers, and heals.

What if your body held the blueprint for both structure and cellular intelligence?

Modern fascia research is revealing something extraordinary:
Your body is not just a system of muscles and bones; it is a living matrix that feels, communicates, and adapts.

🤲🏼 Myofascial Release (MFR), once considered purely physical, is now being explored as a gateway to deep cellular intelligence, energy flow, and tissue-level regeneration.

🌊 At Nostos, Myofascial Release is an invitation to restore communication across every level of your body’s intelligence from electric to emotional.

Sessions are private, 90 minutes, and intentionally limited to 12 clients per week.

Pain is the body’s voice, not the enemy.
Fascia is alive and responsive, filled with sensory receptors that alert us when something is held too tightly. When that living web becomes restricted from injury, surgery, or emotional strain, it compresses and distorts the body’s communication system.

🌊 At Nostos Myofascial Release, we use the John F. Barnes approach to Myofascial Release to address not only the structure of the fascia but its neurological signaling—treating the source of pain, not just the symptom. As pressure is released, the body lets go of protection and returns to its natural flow of energy, fluid, and information.

Your body is communicating.

🤲🏼 MFR helps it feel heard.
