Indescrible JOY! That is what I experience everytime I discover these tiny little froggers turning my mother's rose garden into their summer home! Besides being so cute, they are impressive from a fascia perspective.

Indescribable JOY!

Frogs can launch several feet into the air because their body stores and releases force with stunning efficiency. Their fascia, the connective tissue wrapping muscles and structures, helps transfer that energy like a living spring.

Fascia helps turn stored tension into motion.

Human fascia is just as remarkable. This web of tissue can generate up to 2,000 pounds of resistance, helping the body stabilize, absorb impact, and move with strength.

Human fascia supports power, balance, and elastic strength.

Frog fascia and human fascia remind us that power is not only in muscle. It is also in connection, tension, and timing.

The takeaway is simple: fascia is quiet, but it is powerful. At MFR Works we design our sessions to be both: quiet and powerful! We direct your sensative awareness inside, inviting you to say hello to your body like an old friend. Through breathwork and guided visualization we assist you in quieting down further, to relax your nervous system. Since fascia is so powerful, we need you to fully show up on the inside, while we use skilled touch on the outside. A variety of techniques are woven into the mix including energy work, structural work and soft-tissue release as instructed by John H. Barnes, the founder of our approach. Together we work as a team to unwind your tension, slowly, patiently, and kindly. The session becomes so much more than bodywork, it becomes an experience of sacred self-honor. When arising from the table client's often remark that they feel better already: having sprung their hearts wide open! Visit us at MFRWorks.com to learn more.
