Hi. Carolynn.  Myofascial release is a physical therapy treatment
involving deep massage and other components.  Most physical therapists
and physicians that deal with back problems are aware of myofascial
release.  Your dad may want to ask his physician about this or if he is
going to physical therapy, ask the physical therapist.  I am a
vocational rehabilitation counselor and I have had many clients who have
undergone laminectomy procedures with the result of chronic pain and
they have reported that myofascial release has helpped them both to
avoid future surgery or to give some relief so that surgery is not
necessary in the first place.  Myofascial release is not a "panacea" for
everybody but it helps many people.  If you wish, I could mail you some
written material on myofascial release, if you would give me your
address.  Let me know what happens or if I could give you some more
information.
