Meet Aracelli
Born and raised in a small town in Uruguay, Aracelli Bonaudi eventually moved to New York and became a licensed physical therapist. At 17, a serious accident left her with a crushed foot, multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and lasting limitations in movement. For more than 35 years, she lived with persistent tension, pain, and frustration, searching for answers and a way to feel better. While working in an outpatient clinic, her supervisor encouraged her to study the John F. Barnes Method of Myofascial Release. The experience became a turning point, helping her reconnect with her body, release years of accumulated tension and physical and emotional trauma, and regain movement.Today, Aracelli combines her physical therapy experience with myofascial release to provide compassionate, hands-on care that looks beyond symptoms and helps others feel heard, understood, and supported in their own healing journey.
How can Myofascial Release Help You?
Myofascial Release helps individuals suffering from chronic pain, restricted movement, or muscular tightness caused by fascial restrictions. Conditions such as fibromyalgia, back pain, headaches, and post-surgery trauma can benefit from myofascial release. Athletes, individuals with repetitive strain injuries, and those dealing with physical or emotional trauma often seek this therapy for its ability to release tension in the fascia and restore mobility.
Chronic pain sufferers can find significant relief through myofascial release. People dealing with chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain often experience improvements, as the technique releases tension in the fascia. Myofascial release is also effective for individuals with mobility or posture issues who can also benefit. The technique helps correct postural imbalances and improves range of motion by releasing tight fascia that may be restricting movement. In addition, myofascial release can be particularly useful for people dealing with stress and anxiety, as it helps relieve muscle tension caused by emotional strain, promoting relaxation and overall tension relief.
