A Dialogue on Techniques

Hi Everyone,

Many of you I've met over the past few years while traveling the country. I've had a chance to share my approach and technique for Myofascial Release, one that certainly has evolved and continues to do so. Many of you may remember which techniques I've said were my favorites and I would love your feedback on how things have worked using these techniques.

My two "go-to" techniques for neck pain and lower back pain are the following:

The Thoracic/Cervical lift has taken a front row in my treatment of upper thoracic, cervical, and occipital region pain syndromes. The ability to directly both assess and treat the local nerve tissue, as well as surrounding soft tissue, has made it my most successful upper body technique. The Anterior Lumbar Technique, and also combined with sacral traction, makes up approximately 75% of my lower back and pelvic pain technique.

How about you? Have you had success with these (or other) of the techniques and core concepts you learned either by attending a Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminar or by viewing the videos?
