Strain Relief – Teil 3: Technische Ausführung

Abstract

Bone is elastic and malleable. However, if a bone does not return to its original shape after trauma, chronic traction, pressure or torsion, pain will remain in the bone and in the non-stretchable fascia, tendons, capsule and ligament structures involved. Following the introduction of the theoretical basis of a new manual method for the treatment of chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system with the strain-relief-concept in part 1 (issue 4/2023) [1], the second part (issue 1/2024) [2] dealt with the practical application of the concept to the lower extremity. This time it is shown how the bones of the upper extremity can manually be freed from the strain, thus successfully reducing or even eliminating pain.
