Healing Wind MFR Therapy
John F. Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release
Is Your Pain No Longer Treatable by Traditional Healthcare?
The traditional medical approach is to medicate patients so they are temporarily free from pain; physical, occupational and massage therapies treat the symptoms caused by the pressure on the Myofascial system, which does not directly affect the cause of the problem. These traditional therapies frequently address pain as a lack of strength, which includes strengthening as a means to reduce pain. What is overlooked is the tightness in the soft tissue that is pulling the physical structure out of alignment, creating pain. Strengthening an already tight system often only makes the problem worse. While many could benefit from overall strength gains, weakness is not the cause of pain. MFR relieves the tightness and pressure from your body, allowing strength and function to return in a natural manner and returning you to your desired state.
MFR addresses all areas, concentrating on the deep musculature. By taking the strain off the affected area, the body can resume its normal, healthy posture. MFR returns flexibility to the body after surgery or injury, decreasing or eliminating problems due to scar tissue.
Only MFR treats the entire Myofascial mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restrictions in the Myofascial system that cause the symptoms. Often, MFR can eliminate pain from fascial restrictions so much so that the use of pain medication may be eliminated. Physical relief from pain can also bring the potential for simultaneous emotional release.
MFR Treatment sessions are not meant to be a one-time, "quick-fix" for any issue. It has either taken time, or trauma for a person's body to get to it's current state, so the duration of treatment depends on the severity of the condition, how the individual's body responds, and the participation of that individual.
The Healing Wind MFR Therapy Philosophy:
The physical body stores everything you have ever experienced – emotions, beliefs, and memories – even events our minds have chosen to forget. So when we work with the body using both structural and energetic work, change occurs in more than just the physical structures and physiological functions. The body actually processes and releases energy that is blocking healthy functioning of the system – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Working at an energetic and consciousness level, enables access to the reasons for imbalance. This means that when you allow yourself to be present and connect to both physical and emotional components, you can also connect to the past trauma, in order to clear the imbalance. Often, matters you forgot about, or thought you had already dealt with, on an intellectual level, come up. Emotions such as sadness, anger or fear may surface, but once they do, you may have some epiphanies related to the matter. It can be a new beginning that reveals aspects of yourself which you were previously unaware of.

Bio
Roxanne began Healing Wind MFR Therapy through her own healing journey, when in 2007, she developed adhesive capsulitis (“frozen shoulder”) that caused questions about moving forward with a career in massage. When conventional massage treatments failed, she learned of a manual therapy that used the principles of myofascial stretching techniques, and pursued the teachings of visionary physical therapist John F. Barnes. This was the turning point in Roxanne's health and career path. The recovery was amazing, and she knew that if the teachings of this remarkable technique were pursued, there would be a tremendous opportunity to assist others afflicted with limited mobility, chronic pain, and so many other ailments. To date, Roxanne continues to attend training in John F. Barnes', hands-on workshops throughout the country.
Roxanne is a Licensed Massage Practitioner in the State of Washington, and Nationally Certified through the NCBTMB, in practice since 2007. She has acquired more than 800 hours of training in the healing arts, with her focus being the John F. Barnes' method of Myofascial Release. She is an advanced practitioner in the “John F. Barnes, P.T. Approach to Myofascial Release," which is considered to be the ultimate therapy that is safe, gentle and consistently effective in producing results that last. Also, a student of indigenous peoples in the use of healing energy. Both techniques work together to facilitate healing of the whole person. Roxannee also became an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church in 2009.
