By placing the body or joint (or the muscle itself) in just the right positon and holding that position, can cause the
spasm to cease and the muscle to "reset". When this happens the muscle will return to normal function again. If
the proper postion is found, this can happen in as few as 10 seconds!
Many times a chronic problem that has been going on for years can be corrected by simply finding the right "position"
to facilitate the "release". This is a trial and error system that uses the client's feedback to find that correct position.
You will know when it is found because the pain level will drop dramatically or go away completely!
Then it is just a matter of holding that postion until all the pain is gone. If it doesn't go away entirely, then
the process will continue (with the client's feedback) until each postion of each dysfunctioning muscle is found. Once
they have all been located and released, you will be pain free!
This is a truly marvelous modality where the client and the therapist work together to solve an issue and that is why
it is considered an "outcome based" modality. The treatment is based on what the client hopes the outcome of the session
will be.
As with Myofascial Release Therapy this is a modality that can save both the therapist and client a lot of time and leave
the rest of the session available for a nice relaxing massage!
