Strain Relief – Teil 2: Technische Ausführung

Bone is elastic and deformable. However, if a bone does not return to its former position 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 in the previous issue with the strain relief concept [4], this article is dedicated to the practical application. Using the lower extremity as an example, it demonstrates how the osseous tissue can manually be freed from the strain, thus successfully reducing or even eliminating pain.
