Techniques
Gentle
Muscle Energy Technique- using your muscles to pull alignment back into place
Myofascial Release- releasing tension and trigger points using manual pressure, positioning and soft tissue release
Moderate
Neurological focused techniques such as PRRT and muscle facilitation to improve the neural connection to the area of pain, which improves muscle firing and reduces pain
Direct
More moderate pressure, dialed in positioning and a more firm pressure can achieve a release of a very stuck joint as can dry needling or cupping when appropriate
