What are some of these techniques?
Fascial Manipulation©
This is a manual technique to move and ‘unstick’ the fascia. Simply put, fascia is the interconnecting tissue between bones, muscles and organs and is often overlooked by therapists. Certain points of fascia within the body may become tethered down which will limit joint and muscle function and cause pain. Releasing these points can restore function and relieve pain.
Myofascial Release
This is similar in principle to Fascial Manipulation but involves sustained stretches of the fascia and focuses more superficial layers of the fascia
Muscle Energy Techniques
This technique uses the muscle’s contractile force to allow maximal relaxation and stretch, post contraction. The aim is to restore a muscle’s resting length
