Episode 27 - British Fascia Symposium Recap with Dr. Carol Davis

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.
