Why Positional Release Technique (PRT)?
In these workshop we will explore PRT, a gentle indirect approach to manual therapy based on osteopathic principles & applied anatomy. Overworked, painful, or tense muscles don’t always respond well to direct manual attempts to elongate muscle tissue. Approaching Joint restrictions by going away from the bony barrier, can result in drastic improvements in range of motion, restores movement and postural function. These powerful tools for releasing neuromuscular patterns of restriction uses positioning, approximation of the origin and insertion of muscles, and isometrics to help clients release deep-seated tension and change holding & habit patterns.
