Then, compromised tissues and structures are addressed using s everal massage techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point work, deep tissue massage, PNF, as well as energy techniques with breathing.
These patterns can be related to injuries, surgeries, traumatic events, and the scars from them. These treatments are specific to the individual, utilizing their history to guide the session. Self care is then discussed, to empower the client, to continue the therapeutic process toward healing in between sessions. Tissues to be released are identified, during NKT testing, to be in a compensatory relationship.
When releasing muscles and structures, it is important that the body doesn't feel like it is losing stability or it will likely increase the tension again in the structures you are trying to release. The brain is likely trying to protect you by splinting or stabilizing a weakened or compromised area due to faulty movement patterns or compensations due to injury, accident, overuse, surgery recent or even very long ago , stress or other factors affecting the body.
