Ep. 14: Healing Pain Through Myofascial Release

In this episode, I chat with Amy Vander Linden about the benefits of myofascial release therapy for treating pain and improving performance. Amy Vander Linden has been a physical therapist for more than 18 years and specializes in John F. Barnes Myofascial Release. Amy has found this to be the most effective way of eliminating painful restrictions and restoring mobility. MFR addresses all types of ailments by relieving restrictions that can be causing 2000 pounds of pressure on pain sensitive structures. She has over 350 hours of specialized training by John Barnes in the JFB Myofascial Release Approach including women’s health. Her passion is to help women THRIVE throughout pregnancy and afterwards, whether they had a baby 6 weeks ago or 16 years ago (postpartum is forever). She assists them towards wholeness by empowering them to know their bodies, understanding healing processes and offering therapeutic touch, gaining confidence in their ability to do the things they love and providing education so they and baby can have an optimal start!
