Myofascial Release Techniques

Myofascial Release Therapy

I practice the John Barnes Myofascial Release that concentrates on treating the three dimensional fascia that envelopes all the organs ,blood vessels, nerves, bones ,muscles and tendons in the body. When the fascia is strained from trauma, injury, infection, inflammation, disease or structural imbalances from osseous restrictions, leg length discrepancies, and pelvic rotation one is likely to experience pain and limited range of motion. ThE Myofascial Release approach treats the cause of the pain. Clients experience an increase in range of motion, and a decrease or elimination of pain.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points are small spots of tightly contracted muscles that are sensitive and may incur pain on other parts of the body. Trigger point therapy involves locating the trigger points causing pain then using direct pressure to deactivate them. Some trigger points may take multiple treatments to completely release. Trigger points play a role in a number of common painful conditions such as: low back pain, crick neck, shoulder pain, sciatica, rotator cuff pain, knee pain, and other conditions.

I was referred to Mark by a friend who had received great results from his treatment. I have had chronic hip pain for most of my life and my shoulder has had limited range of motion for about 4 years. After my first visit, the range of motion in my shoulder was 95% better. I now am pain free in both my hip and shoulder after only 6-7 visits. Mark is amazing and truly loves what he does. Thank you!

For the past few months I have experienced debilitating pain in my left knee which greatly reduced my quality of life. I was unable to do morning walks, hikes, bike rides, etc. Fortunately a friend recommended Mark Smith as a massage therapist. Mark is the first therapist I have gone to that specializes in myofascial release therapy. I was pleasantly surprised that after my initial visit my knee was 75% better and after my second visit my knee was 95% better. I highly recommend Mark Smith.

I had trigger points in my shoulder , upper and lower back that just were not getting any better with physical therapy, NSAIDS, and home exercises. I knew I needed something more, so I decided to try myofascial release. Mark Smith agreed to treat me because I was in excruciating pain. After a few sessions my pain
