Barnes Myofascial Release - Myofascial Release Fascia is a continuous sheet of extremely strong, yet mobile connective tissue that supports the entire body. Muscle, bones, tendons, ligaments, vital organs and fascia are so intertwined that it is impossible to separate the influence of one from another. Until recently fascia’s vital function in the body was widely overlooked in the medical community. When your body is injured by falls, accidents, surgery, birth defects, etc. your fascia responds in an effort to protect the injury and results in “restrictions” or areas of adhesions to muscles, bones, nerves, vessels and other soft tissue. These restrictions can decrease the functioning of your body and cause pain. Myofascial Release (MFR) is a set of hands-on techniques performed to release the grip of restricted fascia. Instead of working in gliding motions over the muscles, MFR is slow, controlled, and focused on manipulating the fascia. The therapist holds pressure positions for three to five minutes with each manipulation. After treatment the affected tissue will become softer, more pliable and it will allow your fascia network to return to its original form. Your body will function with less pain and restriction. MFR is a dry skin (no lotion) treatment. The therapist needs to sink their hands into your skin, without slipping, and gently push in opposite directions to “take up the slack” and release restrictions. Feeling a release from MFR is subtle; like a wet spider web pulling apart under your skin or sometimes results in a mild burning sensation. MFR creates profound changes in your body that last much longer than traditional massage. MFR treatment can resolve pain and discomfort that has inhibited your wellness for years. Come in today to experience the profound benefits of Myofasical release. ** John F. Barnes Myofascial release gives people suffering with Fibromyalgia pain profound relief and benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1552182353839-SZ4I6148JKKPMQF5I88B/IMG_9765.jpg John F.

In cases such as this, a massage therapist can apply sustained pressure directly to the trigger point for a short period of time, causing a release in the muscle “knot” which allows for a corresponding lengthening in that muscle group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1579063783449-O2LUVZWB6IZI9LQ06YHN/image-asset.jpeg Massage Therapy - Deep Tissue While deep tissue massage uses many of the same massage techniques as Swedish massage, the main difference is that the therapist works deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia (connective tissue). Deep tissue massage is also a more focused type of massage. The therapist works to release chronic muscle tension, or knots, called adhesions. This type of massage can be intense but is often modified to individual tolerances for pressure and pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1579063645629-B7R2C831QK3EU1ZTFK0E/image-asset.jpeg Massage Therapy - Neuromuscular By correctly applying pressure to a muscle while it is contracting and releasing, a massage therapist can “reset” the muscle memory and help it to return to a more comfortable resting length. Therapists use both passive and active movement along with a comfortable level of pressure to achieve beneficial results. This technique can also help to release adhesions and trigger points – painful “knots” in a muscle that can often refer pain to other areas of the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1579063885543-D7FQ697YX54B31N26MUK/image.jpg Massage Therapy - Swedish Relaxation Swedish massage is often referred to as relaxation massage. The goal of the massage therapist is to relax a person’s nervous system which in turn helps the person’s muscles to relax. Swedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West. If it’s a person’s first time receiving a massage or they do not get massages frequently, Swedish massage is often the perfect massage for them. A Swedish massage can be slow and gentle, or vigorous, depending on the therapist’s personal style and the needs of the individual receiving the massage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1579063685546-ZNPKTOW9FZVEK19GYQD7/image-asset.jpeg Massage Therapy - Prenatal (Pregnancy) The goal of pregnancy massage, (also known as pre-natal massage) is to promote relaxation, soothe nerves, and relieve strained back and leg muscles which most expectant mothers experience. The second and third trimesters are the time when the extra weight in a pregnant woman’s belly puts strain on the back. Pregnancy massage can be especially beneficial at this time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553057784316-E75E1UQLJJRMKFK6RBLV/IMG_9175.jpg Massage Therapy - Sports While sports massage was developed for athletes who need to keep their bodies in great condition and quickly work out any stress or injuries, it is a massage good for anyone with chronic pain, injury or range-of-motion issues. Sports massage can be used to get an athlete ready to compete, support them while they compete, or help their body to recover after a sports event. The massage strokes generally concentrate on a specific problem area which may be related to a sport they participate in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1552183776492-PFTQMD5H81WN4DB33SRC/IMG_9184.jpg Massage Therapy https://www.strongerrootswellness.com/whatweoffer daily 0.75 2019-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460386206073-JA45N97BBRO2DWN9US6P/vendors_03.jpg services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460386270030-WNBMA4D2O7SM4WOUUUJZ/image-asset.png services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460386251187-Z6AMPA3BTK3NNJKYKV8P/vendors_07.jpg services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460386164932-HYH163984RRXPY29AY03/vendors_04.jpg services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460386135904-89J0G07VPX6YND2XOM91/vendors_01.jpg services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460386224524-F3TMU2E3B861T1RO2LBX/vendors_02.jpg services https://www.strongerrootswellness.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1552858137236-TBCPYYDQOWXON9KE7QN8/IMG_1507.jpg Contact - Contact Us: Name: Lacy Hulecki Phone Number: 617-519-6801 Email: btrhealing@gmail.com Address: 2550 Stover St Building F Fort Collins CO 80525 https://www.strongerrootswellness.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553059974795-9FG9JX1NK4R5M501Y73V/IMG_4660.jpg About - About The Owner: Lacy Hulecki, Licensed Massage Therapist Originally from Massachusetts, I moved to Colorado in 2012 to pursue my education and be near the mountains and abundant sunshine. I graduated from Healing Arts Institute in June 2016 specializing in therapeutic massage and combining modalities to reduce pain and restore range of motion to clients. In 2018 I developed an interest in Myofascial Release (MFR) treatment. Many of my clients were experiencing significant gains following traditional massage therapy, however the benefits were not sustained over long periods of time. My personal experience with MFR resulted in sustained pain reduction in my hips and with my recurring low back pain. I began my MFR studies with John F. Barnes shortly afterward. I wanted to provide my clients the option and sustained wellness that MFR provided me. My interest in MFR principles has continued to grow and I have continued to take classes all over the county. My clients are encouraging my study based on the sustained benefits they have experienced. As massage and MFR treatment benefits everyone, it can be invaluable in managing the pain and discomfort associated with chronic conditions and promoting recovery from injuries (as well as preventing them in the first place). My goal is to establish a practice where my clients feel safe and are encouraged to take positive action to improve their health. I understand the profound impact chronic pain has on the body and the way it restricts one’s ability to live a vibrant life. Massage therapy significantly improved my ability to manage pain and stay mobile until successful hip surgeries in 2014. Massage therapy and MFR treatments remain an integral part of my successful strategy to live an active and healthy life. Having experienced the powerful physical and emotional benefits of regular massage myself led me to pursue a career in massage therapy. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking with my dog and spending time with family and friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553060737035-OZP0QGOFXSIFQ6C7ETC6/IMG_6583.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553060750036-M9D1DW6K0P15RTCUYFP7/IMG_0236.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553060754486-XCJG9BET5RBHOHJ6F8HU/IMG_1688.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553060778619-8HFBLCPHMIF5DGV7CZMI/IMG_7553.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553060824376-U6J12WDTI9NTCE4F0B1R/IMG_8825.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c83211e0cf57df551c3e81a/1553060941681-ZGUK3EMUANGZCXR20VGH/IMG_8670.jpg About https://www.strongerrootswellness.com/feature-sonora daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1460388281962-GD7BDJQYTVG5FO2KCTN7/image-asset.png Feature https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d47d412b8ddea29eb012d8/1461180000621-GJAAT1YX5BR5HIO1G89V/hero-20.jpg Feature https://www.strongerrootswellness.com/registration-sonora daily 0.75 2025-05-12
