David Goldeen

 David Goldeen's initial massage training took place at the renowned Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California in 1986. He came to realize that although massage is a helpful tool for stress-reduction and mild pain relief, the benefits are often only temporary. Massage techniques did little to alleviate the chronic pain conditions that he encountered with his clients.

 

Upon being introduced to the John Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release, David immediately recognized that the therapeutic techniques of “MFR” went far beyond massage and traditional physical therapies to promote recovery from injuries, scar tissue and chronic holding patterns. With the realization that “MFR” Therapy produces sustainable pain relief, David began intensive study and training with John Barnes PT. Having completed over 750 hours of massage and MFR training, he has helped countless individuals move out of chronic pain to recovery.
