Authentic healing by treating the whole of the individual
Myofascial release therapy applies gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system facilitating the body’s own healing response
Krissy’s approach
I apply gentle sustained pressure into fascial restrictions. This low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will elicit a piezoelectric phenomenon allowing a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate and release restrictions. The Healing Studio, Inc. provides skilled individualized, one-on-one Physical Therapy services coupled with John F. Barnes Myofascial Release for newborns, babies, infants, children, young adults, adults and the geriatric population.
