In this episode of Essential Therapies, I sit down with an extraordinary woman who proves that age is just a number! Holly and Frank Tam are living examples of how to defy the odds, and I’m thrilled to share her journey with you. I’ve been following Holly on Instagram for years, and her dedication, creativity, and relentless pursuit of strength have truly inspired me.

We dive into her transition to a keto and carnivore diet, the power of weight training, and her empowering motto: “Eat meat, make muscles!” At 63 years young, Holly is living proof that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and stay strong. Her story is a true inspiration for anyone looking to grow younger and stronger.

Just because you feel pain in your knee doesn’t mean the problem starts there.

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.

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.
