Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique

SMRT is a positional release modality used by body workers to easefully and naturally prompt the client's body to regain homeostasis.In its simplest form SMRT uses passive contraction of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue to speak directly to the appropriate receptors in these structures. If the communication between the therapist and the proprioceptors is clear and easeful, the client's tissue responds by moving towards its most comfortable, balanced state.

 

Myofacial Release

If you struggle with persistent pain due to injury, surgical trauma, nerve or muscle dysfunction, chronic illness or other inflammatory response, this pain and discomfort is often the result of overly tight myofacial connective tissue. Myofacial release is a manual technique in which gentle, sustained pressure is applied to restrictive myofacial connective tissue, releasing tension, eliminating pain, and improving flexibility.
