Jill Stedronsky Morton, MS, OTR

After years of trying to heal from chronic pain caused by multiple traumas, I discovered John Barnes' Myofascial Release and I got my life back. I am now privileged to assist in the healing process of others using this powerful and effective modality. I believe in the innate ability of each individual to heal and I see my job as facilitating that healing process in an environment of genuine caring and compassion.

John Barnes' Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands on approach used to free up restrictions in the myofascial or connective tissue system of the body. These restrictions can be caused by surgery, injury, poor posture, pelvic torsions, birth injuries and/or emotional trauma. Symptoms of myofascial restrictions may include chronic pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, TMJ, carpal tunnel syndrome, pelvic pain, and restriction of motion. Benefits of Myofascial Release include decreased pain, enhanced functional abilities, greater flexibility, refined athletic performance, improved structural balance and integrity and decreased stress.  Myofascial Release always incorporates a mind/body philosophy, knowing that the mind exists in all cells of the body, and the two cannot be separated.

CranioSacral Therapy utilizes delicate manual techniques to release fascial restrictions surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This results in enhanced function of the central nervous system and an improved sense of general well being.

Myofascial Release combined with CranioSacral Therapy is often considered the missing link to problematic cases of pain and dysfunction. I blend these approaches with soft tissue mobilization, neuromuscular re-education, movement and postural awareness, and home exercise programs. I believe in the importance of empowering my clients by teaching self-treatment techniques to enhance and maintain the benefits gained through therapy.

As fascial restrictions melt away, clients experience not only greater freedom to move in their physical bodies, but in all areas of their lives.
