A SOFTER GENTLER WAY TO ELIMINATE PAIN
I received my initial training in Soft Tissue Release (STR) ten years ago from its founder, Stuart Taws. It’s a powerful therapy based on European osteopathy techniques originally developed for Olympic and world-class athletes that also effectively treats chronic pain. The gentle treatment addresses the cause of soft tissue dysfunctions and subsequent referred pain and nerve entrapment instead of focusing on the point of pain.
My recent enthusiasm and subsequent current STR training is based on its remodeled format utilizing principles of quantum physics. STR has proven
most effective in clinical application for chronic pain, including low back, whiplash injuries, and repetitive use conditions such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet syndromes.
The treatment consists of a set of gentle, rhythmic and precise stretches
combined with a specific compression and continuous changes in the plane of
the stretch applied along the length of the muscle. Applying multiple reps,
the muscle is lengthened with a pressure and stretch, held no longer than
1.5 seconds along the line of injury. The result is fast and permanent
reorganization of scar tissue as the injured muscle is returned to its
proper resting length.
