Walt, I used this technique on 3 people when I was not pressed for time and They all experienced an amazing knee pain improvement with just one treatment. They all scheduled a follow up improvement and send me some friends. I am in a Florida community with a lot of senior citizens. Thank you very much!!!

You're awesome Walt! Love your work and the concepts behind it.

I found that combining the basic MFR technique and hand placement with a deeper, sustained pressure will bring about equal, if not better results, than the soft tissue mobilization approach, but was much easier tolerated by all involved. Myofascial release does take patience, but the results are well worth it!

The basic concept of the technique came from my training in myofascial release. That was taught in a lighter fashion, which I quite frequently utilize. If one encounters soft tissue that resists the more gentle approach, I was taught to go into the thigh and ITB with deep elbow passes, which are quite painful for the client and hard on the therapist's body.

Splendid ideas there!! I am particularly impressed by the long time-periods involved: that takes tremendous patience and concentration over protracted time-frames. But, i can see how it would be very effective. The stretching technique is interesting also: did you invent/discover this?

Thanks!
