     Your therapist Kim Edwards, is a licensed massage therapist specializing in the John F. Barnes myofascial release approach. She had been a physical therapist assistant for more then 10 years, working in hospitals, nursing homes and orthopedic outpatient facilities. In that time she had completed several seminars focusing on manual therapy, specifically John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach and Upledger's Craniosacral Therapy. She  enjoyed using and receiving these techniques so much that she went back to college to become a licensed massage therapist and open her own practice to use these techniques exclusively. She has experienced the benefits firsthand as she had been experiencing sacroiliac (SI) joint pain and low back pain and with self treatment has been pain free for 13 years and counting! She continues taking these seminars to grow as a myofascial release therapist and is excited to share the benefits of these techniques.

ABOUT
Fascia

Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater.

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) A high percentage of people suffering with pain and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but are not diagnosed.
