Active Release

What it is?

• Hands‑on techniques that combine precise pressure with guided movement or stretching to release tight spots.

• Includes pin‑and‑stretch, active myofascial release, positional release, and nerve‑glide variations when appropriate.

How it helps?

• Reduces painful muscle guarding and trigger‑point referral.

• Restores flexibility and joint range, improving movement efficiency.

• Helps “teach” muscles to lengthen/contract through functional ranges, supporting better posture and mechanics.

Best for:

• Desk‑related neck/upper‑back tension, headaches related to muscle tightness.

• Hip/low‑back stiffness, hamstring/calf tightness, shoulder impingement‑type mobility limits.

• Runners, lifters, golfers, racquet and field sports; pregnancy‑safe modifications available.

Patient's note:

• Mild soreness up to 24–48 hours is normal; gentle mobility, hydration, and heat/ice as advised can help.
