4 D Acres

Kelly Behnke is a proponent for whole body health, not just because it is her profession, but because whole body health has given her life. After being ran over by a large horse over 6 years ago, Kelly was uncertain if she would ever enjoy life the way she had before. With 3 herniated discs, she went through nine months of doctor’s visits, therapies, and the consideration of surgery, which seemed to be her only option. Because the surgeon’s prognosis of her recovery following surgery was uncertain, even in regard to her ability to walk, Kelly decided to try alternative healing instead. What Kelly wanted most to do was ride her beloved horses again.

Kelly’s mom, Roberta Ashby, was already practicing MFR Therapy (Myofascial Release) and Kelly decided that she would give that a try as an alternative to surgery. Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. After only 3 months of treatment, Kelly began to experience amazing changes in her back as well as other aspects of her health. An MRI later showed that the herniated discs had disappeared.

As Kelly’s health improved, she also began to pay attention to the rest of her body and embraced a whole body health philosophy and decided that she would follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a Myofascial Release Therapist. They later opened Main Body Works together at 564 Main Street in Osawatomie, Kansas where they focus on working with their clients toward whole body healing through the myofascial release, proper nutrition and supplements, and other therapies. On Christmas Day last year, they celebrated the 5 year anniversary of their location opening.

Kelly is also a proponent of our 4 D Acres Hand Lotion. She uses it on her own hands before every treatment because it is moisturizing while not leaving an oily residue. Unlike some massage treatments, myofascial release is not done with the application of oils or lotions. She has noticed that using it also reduces inflammation in her knuckles and wrists after performing up to 5 therapy treatments a day. She also recommends 4 D Acres Muscle Joint Plus for deep penetrating relief of muscle and joint pain.

A myofascial release treatment lasts about 90 minutes, and appointments are available by calling 913.731.2535.
