Fascial Release Techniques

SI Joint  |  Headache & Neck Pain  |  About the Instructor

This Series presents Steven Goldstein, the founder of Integrative Fascial Release.  Fascial release is a unique blend of myofascial release techniques: autonomic, mechanical, and movement methods. Autonomic methods release muscle guarding, holding patterns and allow for deeper access to fascial structures. This includes the two-pointing method applied across the fascia planes. Mechanical methods attempt to change fascial structures through the application of energy by mechanical pressure, such as static or leverage compression techniques.  Movement methods attempt to re-educate fascial pattern and create tissue changes by positional release.

 Clinical approaches to Tension Headache and Neck Pain

Steven Goldstein discusses and demonstrates effective release techniques that address both a global and local perspectives for the anterior and posterior neck.

Releases for the anterior throat region that includes Suprahyoid & Infrahyoid musculature will also be covered. Additional approaches utilises Integrated Fascia Release technique, positional release technique PRT, muscle energy technique MET, and craniosacral techniques that address fundamental releases for cervical restrictions. The techniques include: Assess soft tissue & range of motion restrictions, Myofascial release of restrictions, Awareness exercises, Golgi Tendon Organ approach, with Pin & Shift technique, PRT, MET, and Deep tissue stripping.
