Foreword by Carol Davis, DPT, EdD, MS, FAPTA. Myofascial Release for Women's Health Self Care is a practical guide to women's pelvic and breast self treatment. This guide uses principles and techniques from the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach®. You can treat your own pelvic region, particularly your pelvic floor, with significant results, using these myofascial releases (MFR) self care principles and techniques. In section 1, we begin with basic information about MFR, the pelvis, the pelvic floor muscle (PFM), and PFM exercises. In section 2, we explore Barnes MFR self-care. We begin with techniques for various parts of the body that most affect the pelvic region and then focus on specific pelvic area release techniques. We start with external pelvic techniques, followed by internal techniques.In the Appendix, you will find the author's story, a monthly journal worksheet, a list of sample self-care sessions, a reading checklist, a technique list, and a list of resources.
