In 1992, John studied with acknowledged Physical Therapy authority John F. Barnes, creator of The Myofascial Release Approach®. This pivotal class taught John to base his practice on more than simple anatomy and physiology – he must also incorporate the inseparable relationship between fluids and electromagnetic energy within the body.

Inspired by this newfound knowledge and a desire to change the static constraints of “prescribed” therapies, John began developing his own therapy structure. Treating the root of the problem, not just the symptoms, allowed him to create a lasting change in his clients’ lives.

Instead of following a certain known regimen of therapy for a client, he questioned what was missing, or what the right order of treatment should be, creating custom-tailored therapy treatments dependent upon each client’s situation. His healthcare practice became a continuous questioning and evolution of beneficial techniques.

This customization led John to develop create unique techniques and distinctions targeting clients’ needs. He created such techniques such as Matching, Right Order of Treatment, Approach-Based Therapeutic Touch, the Garden Hose Distinction, RET (respiration evaluation technique), and Deactivation – a 3-7 trigger point release.

John’s commitment to his therapy work benefits the entire massage therapy field, pushing wide the existing envelope of what is known, and increasing the degree of relief possible for his clients.
