Indirect myofascial release
The indirect method gentle stretch, the pressure is in few grams, the hands tend to go with the restricted fascia, hold the stretch, and allow the fascia to 'unwind' itself. The gentle traction applied to the restricted fascia will result in heat, increase blood flow in the area. The intention is to allow the body's inherent ability for self correction returns, thus eliminating pain and restoring the optimum performance of the body. This concept is to be analogous to pulling apart a chicken carcass- when it is pulled apart slowly, the layers peel off- too fast, and it shreds.
