Gentle application of sustained pressure (with hands) into fascial restrictions. This essential 'time element' has to do with the viscous flow and piezoelectric phenomenon. A low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow fascia, a viscoelastic medium, and a tough connective tissue spreading throughout the body in a 3D web from head to toe without interruption to elongate.  Releasing and reorganizing the body's fascial restrictions (more than 2,000lbs per square inch) mechanically and reorganizing the neuromuscular system. The reorganization occurs by supplying the central nervous system with new information (awareness) that allows for change, greater range of motion reducing and relieving pain.
