Q

a system of indirect myofascial release treatment. the component region of the body is placed into a neutral position, diminishing tissue and joint tension in all planes and an activating force (compression or torsion) is added

Q

advantages of FPR include

A

easily applied, effective, and time efficient
good patient satisfaction - patients often report immediate relief of tension/tenderness and restoration of function

Q

positioning of muscle in neutral position results in:
Inverse spindle output, which eliminates the afferent excitatory input to the spinal cord through the Group __ and ___ fibers | unloads the joint, which enables a rapid response to 3-plane therapeutic position

A

group 1a and II fibers

17
Q

before applying the activating force of FPR, it is necessary to

A

neutralize the sagittal plane curves (lordosis/kyphosis)

18
Q

stills position starts in ______ ____ and ends at

A

shifted neutral and ends at anatomical barrier (through RB)

19
Q

advantages to stills technique

A

easily applied, effective and time efficient
good patient satisfaction (immediate relief/restoratino of function)
Thorough - time efficient so you can treat again

20
Q

indications for stills

A

somatic dysfucntion in veritually all tissues of the body including: cranium, spine, sacrum, pelvis, limbs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and viscera

21
Q

contraindications for stills

A

not advisable across recent wounds (surgical or otherwise) or fractures less than 6 weeks old

22
Q

initial treatment for stills

A

position of ease

23
Q

before moving through the restrictive barrier in stills, it is necessary to

A

add a localizing force < 5lb compression/traction
