The more recent method I have added is the skeletal alignment reading and myo-fascial release techniques of Tom Myers Anatomy Trains. It is structural integration to release chronic musculoskeletal patterning which causes postural misalignment and pain. Understanding a client’s structural organisation and re-training the myo-fascial continuities so that the constant co-recruitment can be changed to free postural restrictions.
With a chosen strategy of manually making functional changes to a client’s habitual patterns requires 3-D anatomy-in-movement. The practitioner makes the client aware of what it feels like to have a more balanced alignment by making them aware of their habitual or dominant side patterns held in the body. You help the client find his/her new support for their structure as you slowly remove their years of old patterning by differentiating fascial or neural structures to work independently, to glide and slide past each other without adhesions.
Eventually the practitioner sees the client adapt to an unconscious new posture, then the myo-fascial work has become integrated. Manual functional skills of the practitioner’s hands can provide eventual ease of movement and rid pain understanding where the anatomical specificity is required.
