Our interventions utilize Myofascial Release (MFR, direct and indirect), Fascial counter strain (FCS) and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET). Clinically, our decision-making (Clinical Reasoning or CR) is based on the Osteopathic Rule of Proximity, Rule of Function, Rule of Supply, Rule of Drainage, Rule of Pain, Rule of Connectedness and Rule of Difference (as in “Foundations for Osteopathic Medicine”; Executive editor: Robert C.Ward, D.O., F.A.A.O.; 2003 Edition).

Manual physical therapy includes specific techniques such as, joint mobilization or myofascial release. The goal of manual physical therapy is to reduce pain and restore movement, functionality, and overall health

Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy approach to healing and recovery delivered with the hands instead of a device or a machine. It is a unique set of techniques and methodologies that address pain, dysfunction, and disability.

Though always focusing on the patient’s mobility, range of motion, and overall functionality, more and more we find reasons of musculoskeletal dysfunction and chronic pain in other systems of the patient’s body. Human fascia leads us into organs and structures involved in transportation, delivery of oxygen and nutrients, processing or removal of toxicity. It turns out that the ANS, immune system or GI tract, just through its dysfunctional, yet correctable, anatomy or physiology, have a lot to do with the spine, rib cage, or pelvic floor stiffness or immobility and pain.
