Myofascial Unwinding

[@heidibonjour]

It is rare to hear a healer tell you to listen to your own body! Those are the only healers I trust! I am trying these techniques! (Note: the audio keeps cutting out.) Thank you for making this video for me to learn from, and for all your gentle encouragement.

[@EvolutionWendy]

The sound is broken, but it does not "cut out" because every word is there, none are skipped during the brief silences.

[@sylvijawildflower]

Took years as a bodyworker to learn this kind of self-bodywork 💝

[@virmccoy]

I had been doing this for years before I knew what it was. You know when you get up in the morning and stretch? Well keep doing it all over your body. Theres a deep wisdom there.

[@taramceown2919]

I had one unwinding session with a Therapist over ten years ago. I often wake in the middle of the night and my body wants to unwind. I feel like I psychologically work through trauma while sleeping and then my body’s Cellular memory is triggered to release these patterns stored in my fascia. Sometimes these releases last up to an hour. Sometimes it’s only 10-15 min. Quite amazing.

[@Holistic.Helathline]

This is beautiful ❤️

[@tk3141]

"You've had a lot of negative patterns in your body which have been there to protect you." What a great quote.

[@laurengarciabasora]

wow, i always get the urge to do this! never knew it was an actual technique. lovely!

[@lucypell6147]

I was taught this by a man in Scotland. Our bodies are amazing and the fascia is even ore so. The moving and stretching is almost out of this world

[@VisionsofSprode]

I just did this for a while after my shift as an LMT and the first time I saw this video I didn't pay much attention to it but now when I just did it, I was able to relax out my back without much effort and it felt great. I also have a degree in dance and think every dancer should experience this for the bodymind connection dancers really need to hone. Thanks for the upload.

[@magicbird111]

I'm a practitioner and I have seen 100s of people 'Unwind.' It is THE best exercise or workout there is because your own body instinctively takes you to areas where you need healing that even your physician can't find. And it feels s-o-o-o good! This UW is tame for demo. purposes. But do it to music, drums--let yourself go and people yell, fling around, have REMS. Yet you are always in full control. It's healing my back. It's BETTER THAN YOGA. The Unwinding you see here is very tame.

[@carlitapiano]

Your comment just changed my life. For real

[@gottawatchemall5433]

Very tame!

[@anjobanjo1221]

You can also apply very, very light pressure from a thumb or finger to a bad spot and your body will unwind around it. It can be really intense if you have a lot of negative patterns, but that's just showing you how necessary it is. Feel around. Your body will absolutely tell you if you listen.

[@diandjoy]

I felt , as every evening , my back muscles tight & achy . I've tried a few yoga-type movements & tapping my back with my fists but with very short relief . I tried the standing star stretch & it did wonders !! Felt so amazingly good afterwards . I've done it again this morning....aah ...marvellous ! I prefer this to classic stretching before my rebounder session . It's more flowing & enjoyable , less boring . Thank you soo much ! This method will be adopted by me . It's available to do anywhere , anytime ! Fantastic ! THANK YOU

[@malyndadraper]

well said...I have had this for over twenty years and finally seeking therapy at 44...best thing that ever happened to me...dr.s would not acknowledge it until I diagnosed myself and told them what it was...now I know I can live without being in pain all the time...also tens unit has been helpful...

[@anamarie8]

what a great idea. i think yoga is good also thanks for sharing. I like "the quieter you are inside the better you feel"

[@VisionsofSprode]

@theLionHorse Listen to the steps of what he is saying. Go where the body wants to go, where it's easiest, then if you find a place to stretch you hang out there and stretch, lengthen, breath and find muscles to relax in the position you are in. Most people cannot move freely for long before finding the tension to stretch out, the reason the ease of movement is needed is so the mind can tune into whats going on. Body moving at ease means the mind can be at ease. Hope this helps.

[@notadonna5983]

Fantastic! Thanks for the reminder! I remembered how I used to stretch as a child and teenager. It's intuitive self-care.💚

[@vipchiropractic5972]

Well, its interesting to see John as a younger man, His expertise of soft tissue myofascial work is nationally known. Good short video.

[@kprotz100]

I tried this and it works and it's amazing!

[@jabah126]

Isn't it?

[@Ravent69]

Actually this guy is not a fraud. John Barnes is one of the leading instructors in Myofascial release. I will agree that his courses are a little expensive, but his model is the same as any other instructor teaching myofascial release. Tissue unwinding is a real thing. I have had it applied to me, as well as done self unwinding to my low back, neck, and TMJ area. To those who are properly trained in massage and anatomy, Myofascial release is a wonderful technique for self and clients.

[@735loveless]

I love this natural technique best form of meditation and yoga , combined fluidity!

[@deloreseaves-plummer7965]

Too cute

[@dumitriudaniela]

ive been watching myofascial releasing videos for a while and this is the first time when i truly understand what it is because he explains it so easily. Everyone else is trying to explain it from a logical point of view which made no sense to me. This feels more like flow and even like a spiritual practice. Thank you for posting it.

[@anneweiss333]

Love doing this. best body mind and soul release

[@LeBauerPT]

This is a great video, and a wonderful technique which I share with all of my patients.

[@nataliagucciardo6490]

This is a great idea and amazing explanation of technique and necessity of self unwinding! Certainly will be taken to my daily routine! I wish the video would be better quality - broken sound through entire video.

[@EvolutionWendy]

The sound is broken, yes, yet not a single word is missing. The woman's flow was mesmerizing and sensual, and I prefer this good video over any modern re-make with perfect digital sound.

[@youspilledthis]

Reupload on my channel with audio fixed.

[@nachiangmai1]

Thanks. In just a few minutes I feel great already. This is certainly a great service to the world.

[@Oaks510]

If done right, you hear a loud crackling sound. In utter state of extreme relief. Also your neck will get very toned from these stretches. Age old technique, just hard to describe.

[@amyhagar5861]

John we need an unwinding video like what we Therapist experience in your courses. Is so difficult to try to help clients reach that level without them seeing someone else do it 1st. Maybe some of the footage of the recorded videos could be put on KZbin? We are all loving you and Hoping you return To teaching soon.

[@katiestanley93]

This happens to me for years. It saved my life

[@jabah126]

I do this and it feels so wonderful. It also happened involuntarily towards the end of a Tapping session, EFT. Interesting.

[@Foi-e7m]

🙏it Pure BLISS ⛲️💚💚💚😇😇😇

[@sylviepatrick]

So natural and beneficial. Every morning..

[@theXaint]

Very good and simple techinque!

[@Vynamite]

The devil in my body has finally vanished, thank you so much John x3

[@MsMeLBehr]

If you don't mind me asking, why did you say that .? Was it just an expression?

[@gottawatchemall5433]

Just remember that devil was there to protect you. Never listen to the judgements of others. Keep it up 👍

[@nutmegwoman]

The first tmie I encountered this was during sitting meditation. I started rocking back and forth. My physical therapist ecplained what it was, and how the fascia runs between the skin and muscles (myo). She was able to support my body through even deeper releases, which helped me release long held trauma that was causing a lot of pain. Exhausting, though. I sleep like a baby afterwards. Gteat technique, and my insurance covered it!

[@mercya27]

I can't believe how negative and rude some people are..grow up! Stretching is a wonderful way to ease all over body pain especially associated with fibromyalgia.

[@hilmichildofgod]

Awesome. Will try it!

[@josiemalone1013]

This is very helpful. Thanks!

[@carlitapiano]

This women is absoltely stunning and her physique is so balanced and beautiful. Take note!

[@KellyWhelanEnns]

Ever tried Zhan Zhuang? Baguazhang? All about the fascia. :)

[@heleneadams6397]

I'M GOING TO TRY IT...IT LOOK WORTH WHILE.

[@lifeforcenrg]

ow wow !.. very holistic and very simple !!>.i like it...im glad didnt take it down

[@naturemanmatt]

I empathize with you. I suffered a life altering injury from a chiropractor adjustment 8 years ago. I have been living in severe pain ever since and twisting of my spine in the upper back/lower neck area causing my head to twist to the right. I have spent thousands trying to fix it. Just came across myofacial release. Wonder if this is what is wrong with me? What is your opinion?

[@youspilledthis]

Have you found any success since you made this comment?

[@GerardPowell]

great video, very helpful

[@michaelb41]

I think I love her.

[@suburbanlf]

Sweet suit, dude.

[@BrocktonOval]

What's with the way "Lori" longingly looks at her therapist?

[@russellthisjohnson2571]

That red head is why my back is out in the first place.

[@kmotc]

Maybe look into Rolfing, if you have not tried that. It's pricey but worth it. Also look at something called the MELT method, after you get some rolfing done.

[@FIXWCBCANADA]

thanks for the video, and your right it is a roller coaster ride to hell and back;

[@jjooeegg1]

Good video

[@deelightful6124]

Ive w seen cats and human babies do this. .I been doing a yoga/Tai chi combination with similar results

[@foto1272]

interesting what You say verry niceclip thanks

[@novelenes]

Audio drops out every 5 sec! Please re-upload. Would love to do this work but audio dropout plus audio content without instruction is difficult. Pease describe movements - without chatter. Hard to watch movements when you're hearing something totally unrelated and there is no instruction. E.g. is hand facing up or down?

[@EvolutionWendy]

Instruction about the hand facing up or down? is novelenes watching a different video? Instructions were clear - do what YOUR body wants, don't try to mimic the model.

[@youspilledthis]

I've re uploaded the video on my channel where I fixed the audio issue, no cutting and less wind noise.

[@jureker]

She is talented...

[@chxwv]

Wish you had corrected your sound issues before posting it

[@Freddie1M]

this just makes no sense, could someone explain? My body doesn't feel like moving anywhere?

[@bubblerings]

ummm, the more you stretch and twist your body, the easier it gets and the better u feel. Slower is part of it, so things actually stretch and let tensions and patterns go. Good luck.

[@jwl2011]

It's great fun.

[@tancookies89]

This is how I wake up sometimes :P

[@StacyPickhardtLMT]

Anyone else having trouble with the sound?

[@slvice14]

sort of a zen home yoga session.

[@maxwellmoseley9812]

NOW YOU KNOW he is definitely getting his clients high as. Fr tho

[@azeemali7102]

Very painful process for over 40 crowd especially if daily-weekly stretching was not part of your lively routine!

[@YogaChristine]

one word------YOGA!

[@ahmednabil9914]

thank you Dr. but the taking the video in the open air was a really bad idea

[@BirdOfParadise777]

OK... I "stretched" and my body decided to take me to Taco Bell!

[@charlykyoryu4566]

This seems very creepy to me ;(

[@BusterMaxwellTV]

Charly kyoru, you are welcome to your opinion, but most of us are mature and evolved enough to separate our need to eliminate deep pain from some sort of bizarre social concept of "creepiness."

[@johnathanabrams8434]

I've scammed so many patients using this. Great tool for placebo

[@debgaudin8862]

How did you scam people. What are you truly saying about this procedure

[@johnathanabrams8434]

@@debgaudin8862 continuous input from myofascial trigger points increases excitablilty of dorsal horn neurons, expanding the receptive field and leading to central sensitization, granting you a life long patient.

[@beoz658]

dude seems creepy

[@rememberyj]

i think this video is about 15 yr old. look at him.

[@boobsnexplosions]

this guys seems like a real creeper

[@Joebeimon]

I agree...this is inferior. Take it down like you were asked. Sure it is good knowledge, but it is very poor audio.

[@therealstephawesome]

Bullshit. When you receive valuable information for free, either don't complain about the sound quality or don't watch. I hope you're in a better mood now, nine years later than you were when you wrote this. :) I, for one, am grateful to see a demo of this technique.

[@sharonbusbee7219]

This guy is creepy as hell. Is he a cult leader? A little pudgy to be some kind of "health expert".

[@shamanic1]

Sharon, this "creepy as hell guy" founded a therapeutic modality, which has assisted - perhaps - thousands of women, in recovery, from the actions of actual "creeps". No woman has taken legal action, against this man (remarkable, in this era). If you would like to know who "this man" is, his name is John Barnes, and his website is myofascialrelease.com. As for his weight; what has that got to do with the gifts he has imparted to physical therapists, and patients, alike? Of course, if you do put your judgement(s) on hold, and look into the teachings of Mr. Barnes, and your initial impression persists, I would strongly suggest you get a series of myofascial release sessions - perhaps from someone with a body you find more acceptable. Myofascial release can do a lot to help with "stuck" attitudes, as well as stuck fascia!

[@Freddie1M]

this literally makes no sense.

[@lepelley58]

Wow, why didn't you take this down like you were asked? You don't have permission to use this material.

[@MrSapinho90]

it looks like he's just feeling up a chick who seems to be really enjoying it....kudos to the mountian man who found open button shirts and slacks in his plan to seduce women

how can anyone have such horrible posture? it can only mean one thing, lack of knowledge on anatomy.
