Myofascial Release of Central California

Barbara has been doing MFR on me for over three years. She has kept me pain free and resolved issues as they come up. She is completely professional. If you are new to MFR, I suggest that you try it and experience it.

I recently gifted myself an intensive with Barb. Wow. I have been living with chronic pain and have received all kinds of body work for 26 years. I am very picky about who I let work on me, and Barb is a favorite. She is very safe, kind, intuitive, a loving and listening presence, and a master of MFR. It’s one thing to receive bodywork once a week or a couple of times a month, which is helpful, but those sessions are like maintenance and tend to be temporary relief. This intensive was several hours daily and it has been a true shift with lasting results. I walked in burnt out, overwhelmed, depressed, disconnected, with a lot of pain. After the first day of seeing her I had huge improvement. After the second day I felt comfort, wholeness, and peace in my body that I haven’t felt in years. I finished my intensive with big belly laughs, spirited, free from pain, tension, and adhesions that have been stuck in my tissues. I’m singing and dancing for the first time after the death of my husband. I feel like I have come back to life. I’m so deeply grateful to Barb and MFR. I highly recommend signing up for an intensive with her if you want to truly change tension and holding patterns and improve overall quality of life.

Amazing treatment experience. When I first started I could barely move. My body was so tied up and painful. After a few weeks I could start to feel relief that I hadn’t felt since I was young but not only did Barbara treat my fascia but she taught me how to self treat and maintain. It was not only physically beneficial but I learned about my disorder! Thank you!!

BARBARA LONG has been true BLESSING. How I found BARBARA was very surprising, I was on a flight to San Diego and seating next a gentleman name DARRELL who worked throughout the state San Francisco down to San Diego and we are conversation lead to are back issues. DARRELL explained that he found someone ( BARBARA LONG ) who help a lot and he went on and said if he had found BARBARA first that he would have back surgery. I was interested and shared with DARRELL my back issues I had so I asked him where BARBARA’s location, I’m assuming San Francisco or San Diego and try already want see BARBARA. Will when DARRELL told me Hanford I told him I’m from and I’m going see her as soon as back in Hanford. I see BARBARA as soon as I could and yes DARRELL was so RIGHT the back issues I had are completely gone. I can THANK BARBARA effort and any of my friends that have back issues I tell them like DARRELL told me, you’ve got go see BARBARA LONG. THANK YOU so BARBARA

Barb is the kindest soul with nothing but positive and healing vibes! Her work has transformed all aspects of my life - my migraine frequency has decreased, my workout frequency has increased, and my overall quality of life has improved substantially. Thank you Barb!

Barbara Long introduced MFR to me many years ago and I was hooked. Her compassionate heart and sincere desire to help people regain their health is superior. I moved away from California many years ago and have yet to find an MFR therapist that comes close to her knowledge and skill level. As a fellow massage therapist I crave her arm pulls and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a path of health and wellness.

Not only has she made my hand pain minimal and manageable but she has also worked out many other problem areas of my body that experienced chronic discomfort. Without a doubt I would highly recommend Barbara!

Barbra Long is the person you should see for Myofascial Release. Barbra has helped me tremendously with my healing process of my body,from car accidents to skiing accidents and all the trauma my body has been thru. She is highly trained and professional and a very kind soul.

For years I suffered with pain. I was an athlete in tennis, soccer and pickleball. I also have had a few surgeries, which left me with some pain. I went to physical therapy all the time. Then one day, a physical therapist suggested I go see Barb because he felt my issue was my Myofascial tissue, not what he was treating me for. It was eye-opening. I learned so much from Barb and did my own research on Myofascial release. What a game changer. My body feels better than it has in years!!!

I always refer to Barbara as a Jedi. She is one of the most gifted healers I have ever met. She released fascial restrictions I didn’t even know I had. Because of her I’ve been able to continue my massage practice without pain for over fifteen years. She is a wonderful human being as well. ❤️

I highly recommend Barb at MFR. The treatment is EFFECTIVE and Barb is skilled as well as compassionate. I had significant improvements increasing muscle function and reducing pain. Definitely worth it.

I was a bit skeptical of myofascial release when I first started. I’m used to getting massages, but this was very different. Different in a great way. I have compressed discs in my lower back and my neck and I’m not a fan of taking pain medication. I’ve worked with Barbara for a number of years and she has helped me considerably. Barbara taught me a lot about my body and how to manage and reduce my pain. She is professional and on time. I really appreciate the care she has given me over the years. It is made a huge difference in my life. When I left the Hanford area, she found me another myofascial release therapist in my local area, in a different state. If you’re having problems with your body, Barbara will discover what’s going on and help you. Barbara’s trustworthy. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a remedy to their body pain.

In the past I have usually gone to a deep massage therapist for my aches and pain. The older I get, the less I can handle someone jamming their elbow into my back. The method that Barbara uses is the complete opposite. In fact, there were a few sessions where I actually fell asleep. I has always found Barbara to be polite and professional. I would highly recommend her services.

My husband found Barb after his tractor accident, and I decided to give it a try. I’ve been dealing with emotional and physical pain for many years. Barb helped me to unload the emotional burden and the physical pain followed. I’ve learned so much from her, she has helped my husband and I with several traumatic events in our lives. Thank you so much, I’m blessed to have you guide me through my healing journey.

Professional and exceptional service. I've had several visits with Barbara and her myofascial release work has helped me tremendously! Years of stress and illness have contributed to so much tension and pain in my body that i had been neglecting. The majority being on my back and neck. I didnt have a lot of mobility in moving my neck and head when i came to visit Barbara and my back was also killing me. This I believe was from tightness and built up tension and stress through many years. Moving those areas would hurt me to almost tears at times. I'm very thankful to her for helping me release and melt that pain away. She has also helped my shoulder and sciatic pain and my kids have also benefited from her services. In my opinion, Barbara has got to be one of the best myofascial release massage therapists out there. She is kind and listens and truly achieves pain-free results.

The extreme hip tightness resulting from a slip down some stairs became so painful, it affected my ability to walk and the constant aching disrupted my sleep. I tried stretching/yoga with minimal relief but a routine daily movement would return me to locked-up, severe pain and the word 'surgery' would enter my mind. So when my doctor recommended myofascial release, I was ready for anything that might help me but I had no way of knowing just how much this would HEAL me. The day after my first session with Barbara, I got out of bed and was shocked at my easy, pain-free movement. Honestly, I cried because it felt so good to feel so good. Barbara is very experienced and knowledgeable-I've learned how we retain tension in our bodies from injuries, traumas-physical and emotional, and how the fascia reacts to these physical/emotional cues. She's instructed how to maintain fascia release at home and how to identify and address any new areas of tightness. I cannot recommend enough how anyone, EVERYONE, can benefit from myofascial release with Barbara Long. Sounds cliche to say but with all my heart it's true for me, myofascial release has changed my life💚
