Facilitated Positional Release Technique:

Originated from Dr. Stanley Schiowitz:

-

He is a Doctor of Osteopathy from New York.

Theory:
By compressing the muscle spindles through the positioning of the body, we cause
inhibition of the stretch reflex of the golgi apparatus thus reducing muscle spasms.
The rocking or oscillating motion stimulates the proprioceptive
mechanoreceptors. Increased mechano-receptive activity reduces nociceptor
activity which causes pain reduction.

5. Arm and Hand treatment
