One of the best kept secrets in the management of neck and back pain is Myofascial Release, Craniosacral therapy and Visceral Manipulation. These are all examples of manual therapy techniques that Terry Frye MS PT incorporates into her physical therapy treatments.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a manual or hands on technique that involves loosening up the fascia. Fascia is the thin connective tissue that surrounds our muscles and tendons. Fascia also surrounds all nerves, blood vessels and organs. MFR releases restrictions in the fascia that will inhibit normal mobility and function. Abnormal tension in the myofascial tissues alters biomechanical efficiency and contributes to compensatory and painful movement patterns. MFR releases tensions and promotes normal biomechanical movements and reduces pain. It is a very gentle technique.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle manual therapy technique which promotes dynamic homeostasis in the body using specifically directed light touch to balance membranous tensions throughout the nervous and fascial systems of the body.

Strain Counterstrain Techniques

Strain Counterstrain or Positional release techniques helps to reduce painful trigger points, tension points, correct abnormal neuromuscular tension patterns and improve functional mobility. Specific joint positioning is used to reduce tension and excessive muscle tone. Evidence shows that SCS reduces pain, improves ROM and posture and improves functional mobility.

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle form of fascial technique emphasizing the fascia surrounding our internal organs and their relationship to the skeletal and muscular structures. Their close proximity to nerve tissue and the spine can refer pain to the neck and back.

All these techniques are gentle enough to be applied across the lifespan for clients with orthopedic or neuromuscular  dysfunction.

These treatment techniques

• Increased the body’s ability to heal
• Increased flexibility and functional mobility
• Decrease pain
• Enhance a feeling of well being
• Gentle enough to use for all age groups

Exercises used by Terry Frye in physical therapy are functional. This means they actually translate directly to your everyday life.
