In this episode, Dr. Carol Davis, DPT, EdD, returns to share her transformative experience during an intensive two-week Myofascial Release session at the John F. Barnes Treatment Center in Malvern, PA.

Our fascial system stores trauma, emotions, and memories—often without us realizing it. When we take the time to focus inward and address these deeply held patterns, profound healing can occur. Dr. Davis discusses how dedicating multiple hours to Myofascial Release over a concentrated period provides a unique opportunity to release what no longer serves us and reconnect with our body’s inner space.

After hearing Dr. Carol’s powerful testimonial, you might be inspired to explore the benefits of clustering your own Myofascial Release treatments with your local therapist, discover the healing work at the Barnes treatment centers, or dive deeper into this often-overlooked fascial system that holds our cells—and our experiences—together.

Plantar fasciitis isn’t necessarily a just foot condition. A myofascial approach is always looking at the whole body and this is frequently overlooked in the diagnosis of plantar fasciitis.

“Find the symptom, look elsewhere for the cause” is how we approach the body with myofascial release.

Dr. Cindy Hodgson, PT, PhD, shares some insights about plantar fasciitis with a wholistic view of this painful and debilitating condition that affects at least 10% of the population.

Enjoy this discussion with Dr. Garry Smith and Dr. Cindy Hodgson about the OlyLife Tera P90, a groundbreaking device that combines the power of Terahertz waves and PEMF waves in one compact unit. They discuss their experience and provide some easy to understand explanations of why it’s helpful and something you may want to consider as a self-care tool of your own.

From managing stress, anxiety, and depression to improving bone density, blood flow, cellular and heart health, the benefits are undeniable. 

But that's not all - the Tera P90 also harnesses the power of Terahertz waves. These cutting-edge waves have shown incredible potential in reducing inflammation, alleviating arthritis discomfort, boosting energy levels, and supporting brain regeneration. They even aid in detoxification and organ function. 

The OlyLife Tera P90 is truly a game-changer in the world of holistic health. Imagine achieving the benefits of spending 24 hours barefoot in nature within just 30 minutes of using the Tera P90.

Join Dr. Carol Davis and Dr. Cindy Hodgson as they delve into the recent British Fascia Symposium and the groundbreaking developments in fascia awareness and research. Both seasoned physical therapists, Dr. Carol and Dr. Cindy, have successfully treated patients for decades using the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (JFB MFR).

It’s only recently that the scientific community has begun to acknowledge the profound connection between emotions, trauma, and mind consciousness within the body's tissues. For 50 years, John F. Barnes has championed a gentle, long-hold, hands-on technique that was initially met with skepticism by the medical community. He recognized that our mind and consciousness are deeply embedded in the fascia and that past traumas and emotions can be released through this gentle approach. The time has come for greater awareness and acceptance of this transformative method.
