Soft Tissue Release (STR) ™

The base of the technique involves precise pressure through a specific stretch done in a harmonic fashion. By itself the technique works well on acute injuries, sports injuries and repetitive strain injuries such as Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Long-term pain conditions have little to do with the site of the original injury. Nociceptive pain, from irritated free nerve endings transfers to the Central Nervous System and is regulated by Central Processing. STR uses simple techniques to ‘Pace the Nervous System’ of the client. Gentle STR techniques are still used but are now secondary to the release that is obtained from the fast responding nervous systems. These techniques are used before, during and after treatment. They can be used with any manual therapy. As Central Processing in the nervous systems is changed, the results at the moment seem to be permanent.
