Positional Release Technique (Mobilization Stretching)
This is a method of analyzing and eliminating the chronic spasm at the deepest muscular levels of the spine, pelvis, and ribs.PRT encourages the patient to take an active role in recovery and aims to remove restrictive barriers of movement in the body. It is used to help decrease pain and tension in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joint areas and to improve joint mobility. This is accomplished by decreasing protective muscle spasm, tendon or ligament tension, joint hypomobility, pain, swelling and by increasing circulation and strength. After treatment, patients feel a sense of relaxation in the treated area which affords greater movement with less discomfort. By stretching and resetting the bodies proprioceptors it is possible to restore full range of motion of the joints of the axial skeleton. It is effective for improving frozen shoulder, lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis.Which condition responds the best to Positional Release Therapy?The best response is reported among patients who have had a distinct, physical mechanism of injury. These include injuries resulting from falls, improper lifting, throwing, motor vehicle accidents, sudden unexpected movements, and sports. The technique is very useful in muscle and ligament strains and injuries. Other patients who respond well to PRT are those who have had acute or chronic pain that arose insidiously with no clear mechanism of injury or history of trauma and who have no diagnostic test showing underlying disease. These dysfunctions tend to be related to stress, visceral dysfunction, or previous surgical intervention.
