Treatments are gentle and supportive however some therapeutic discomfort can occur as the tissue is being released. The experienced therapist always works within the client’s comfort zone and allows as much time as necessary for the discomfort to dissipate before engaging deeper restrictions. Most instances where people become injured or flared up from manual therapy is because the therapy or its application is too aggressive. The JBMFR approach to myofascial release eliminates the chance of being injured because the experienced therapist maintains gentle tension at the tissue’s tension barrier without forcing beyond. When the tissue is given time to soften into, without having to guard against, the outcome is far more favourable and effective.
Encouragement is given to bring attention to any sensations or feelings as they arise. More often than not, any discomfort that is experienced quickly dissipates once the client allows themselves to become present and soften into the treatment.
