Thank you for your comments. I am trying to access the article you mention. It is very interesting, alas, I don’t have direct full access to the article, so I will have to wait.

I am a little curious though by what you mean by research “backing up” what John Barnes has been teaching. I am familiar with his work as his approach was the first type of MFR I was taught. However, the research into hyperplasia, hypertrophy and cytokine secretion is quite different to John Barnes proposed mechanisms to MFR, as is Schleip’s work. Can you clarify what you mean by “backing up” am not aware of the current Barnes model of MFR, has it changed since his original work?

Aran

Thank you for your article. I wonder if you’d find the following resources/researchers helpful: Dr Paul Standley (Dosed myofascial release in three-dimensional bioengineered tendons: effects on human fibroblast hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and cytokine secretion. J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2013;36:513-521) Dr Robert Schleip, Dr Jean-Claude-Guimberteau (Strolling Under the Skin documentary DVD also available on youtube – approx 30 min). I’m disappointed that you have yet to experience or study the John F Barnes approach to myofascial release. Current research, quite independent from John’s work, is backing up what he has been teaching for decades. There are massive objective and subjective differences noted clinically and documented using his approach – including case studies published in peer-reviewed journals by Dr Carol Davis and others. From the perspective of many, John solidifies and hones in on very specific treatment principles making his approach the oldest of modern-day styles, most effective, and purely authentic. Sadly, many other versions have arisen over the last 50 years and have diluted the industry leading people to experience and believe what you’ve shared in your well-written article. The world of fascia is brilliant and offers a whole new world of discovery….thank you for sharing your perspective.
