5.0 out of 5 stars A book that feels like a seminar, September 6, 2000
This review is from: Healing Ancient Wounds: The Renegade's Wisdom (Hardcover)
If you have ever attended one of John's seminars, this will be a welcome addition to remind you of all the stories and various sayings that John uses. After I read it the first time, I felt like I had just been to a seminar, which is a great feeling.

Reading the book helped to remind me of the important principles that are needed to do the myofascial work well. The book is also a great way for clients to better understand the work.

The book is very readable for therapist as well as patient. It also provides a history of the work and its development on both a historical basis and how intuition played a large part in the formation of the various techniques used. It also serves as a frequently asked questions list by addressing common questions both therapists and patients have about the method.

This book is not a technical manual, but a philisophical and a historical look at myofascial release and how it blends emotional, psychological, nutritional, and structural components into a very unique healing method.

I enjoyed it very much and will be reading it through again as a reminder when needed.

1.0 out of 5 stars not what I thought it would be, November 25, 2006
By 
P.J. (Anywhere, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Ancient Wounds: The Renegade's Wisdom (Hardcover)
I purchased this book after attending my first MFR seminar last year. All I can say is WOW!! But hold on. It's not an impressed "wow". It's more like "I can't believe I paid 50.00 for a book that is one long advertisement of how wonderful John Barnes is. Every page is dripping with conceit. This author hasn't written anything worth reading in this book. No anatomy, no science, no technique. In fact the author wrote very little of this book himself. The entire book is a compilation of letters from past clients and MFR trained therapists, mostly female, who write about how John was the missing link in their healing journey. If I wanted to hear about total stranger's medical problems, I would just stand in the longest line at the grocery store. I noticed that Amazon marketplace has some used copies for over 80.00 for sale. Anyone who pays 80.00 for this book is being totally ripped off. In fact anyone paying the list price is too. Do yourself a favor and save your money, unless of course you need to read in his own words and the words of his patients, how wonderful John Barnes is.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master, September 24, 2000
By 
bonnie (Nanoose Bay, B.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Ancient Wounds: The Renegade's Wisdom (Hardcover)
I have taken several courses with John Barnes and will be taking many more. He is a gifted lecturer, teacher, guide and a master of a healing touch he calls Myofascial Release. This technique reaches into the cellular level of body, mind and spirit in a way that promotes, as the title of his beautifully written and illustrated book says "Healing Ancient Wounds". The book is written for patients and professionals and is filled with wonderful stories and anecdotes that will make you want to run to your nearest Myofascial Therapist or course offered by John F. Barnes.
