What is Myofascial Release?

Trauma, inflammatory responses and/or surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions which produce tensile pressure on the body. Myofascial Release (MFR) is a safe, and very effective hands-on technique which involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

About

"Identify the symptoms, look elsewhere for the cause. " John Barnes, PT

Both having their Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy, Shawna Wing and Lacey Maier each have over 17 years experience in patient care. Expertise lies in concussion management, vision rehab, and sensory processing dysfunction in adults after neurological injury. In 2020, the John F. Barnes technique was found by them to be the missing link in healthcare. It is an excellent technique to help patients further reach their goals and return to a pain free, healthy lifestyle. Shawna and Lacey have both attended many John F. Barnes Myofascial Release classes and have enjoyed sharing this technique with others. Myofascial Freedom and Wellness is also a nutraMetrix Health Provider. This allows the opportunity to offer nutrition and supplementation advise to patients. nutraMetrix has wonderful products to help enhance your healing and wellness journey. Myofascial Freedom and Wellness offer vision rehab following neurological injury. We are proud to offer a more comprehensive vision exam using advanced, state-of-the-art eye-tracking technology. The RightEye system allows us to pinpoint functional vision and brain health issues, identify the root cause of reading problems, and improve athletic performance. In just 5 minutes, this proven, patented technology measures visual skills in ways that a standard eye exam cannot — enabling us to diagnose and treat underlying vision issues that affect our patients’ quality of life. Many insurance carriers cover occupational therapy services. Myofascial Freedom and Wellness is credentialed with BCBS and some Sanford Health Plans. Please feel free to ask questions regarding potential reimbursement for OT services if you are out of those networks. For cash based services, please inquire for evaluation and treatment fees.

Testimonials

“Coming to Shawna has been life changing in my recovery from a traumatic brain injury. From visual overstimulation to sensory overload, Shawna really understood my symptoms and how to treat them. She helped me get my life back.”

Kristi B.

“I believe my recovery after ACL repair was truly transformed by myofascial release treatment. Thanks to Shawna, I regained my mobility and was able to return to running and skiing. The first moment of pain-free movement emerged after an MFR treatment.”
