Myo-fascial Release Technique
This technique influences the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system and the reflexes that direct integrate and modify movement. The goal is restoring functional balance to all of the integrative tissues in the musculoskeletal system, and the techniques are useful in acute, subacute, and chronic conditions, with the simple and complex problems. The techniques consist of symmetrical placement of the operator's hands, introducing some twisting force to engage the tissues and then following directly or indirectly along fascial planes to sense areas of tightness and looseness. This technique is effective when working with fascia restrictions.
