Dear John,
I am so thankful for the techniques learned in your Women’s Health course. A yearly OB/GYN exam and mammogram demonstrated a cyst in one of my breasts. I was referred to a surgeon. Because of my confidence in MFR I was able to ask for time to treat myself before invasive surgery. Several weeks of self treatment eliminated the cyst and no further treatment was needed. Now breast self treatment is part of my daily self care program. With a close family member having gone through breast cancer, I am aware of my increase risk for breast cancer. I am thankful for
what MFR can do to prevent and heal what the rest of the medical world perceives as disease. MFR therapist understand those same findings as restricted fascia. Thank you for the techniques you have developed and taught us that help us live confident and healthier lives.

I had recently a bout with severe pelvic pain. Testing revealed nothing abnormal.
The decision was, likely a burst ovarian cyst. In the aftermath of the pain, and the pain medicine, I had a swollen belly, and residual pain. And fear. Fear the pain would recur, fear that somehow something was really wrong, they just missed it. Also there was numbness. On the surface, right lower abdomen spreading onto the top of the thigh. Everything worked normally, including horseback riding lessons, walking, swimming. I knew it was not numb before, so I knew not to worry. I also knew to get treated using MFR. I have been receiving treatment from an advanced therapist, internal and external treatment. With her help, I have been able to process much of the fear, feel what I wasn’t able to during the ‘episode’. The numbness and residual pain is completely gone. I am continuing to have treatment, and to self treat, knowing that the conditions that were in place that allowed that cyst (or cysts) to form are longer standing.

I love this work, because it allows COMPLETE healing.
All the doctors told me was, no cause was found, so take the pain meds until the pain goes away. That is just not enough for me.

Cysts – fluid filled cells, groups of cells. What would begin the process of fluid accumulating, prevent the fluid from
reabsorbing/recirculating? Fascia-the environment of the cell- the “container” of the fluid – what might occur with the fascia becoming hardened, tight, nonpermeable, distorted?
So much can change with the release of fascial restrictions – women’s health issues, breast health being just one segment. Cysts – restrictions preventing
healthy fluid dynamics – with tissue release now able to be absorbed, fluid
flow restored, tissue functioning more
healthily.
Just one picture/area of our body’s capabilities for dysfunction, and for return to health, utilizing the proper
principles of myofascial release.
Also – breast tissue, male and female, easily accessible for direct MFR self care. So much we can learn to do for ourselves!
