Soft Tissue Release is a very effective technique to help clients in pain. It involves client movement to enhance the effectiveness of the work. There are many variations to this work. We can work with muscles while stretching them either actively or passively or while the client contracts them using either concentric or eccentric contraction. We will explore these variations and the rationales for using them. Once the principles are understood, these techniques can be easily applied anywhere in the body. Tips and tricks for body mechanics and positioning will be shown to make it easy for the therapist. Extensive notes will be provided with this class. Please bring shorts and a sports bra for women.
