Understanding the limitations of a biomechanical driven model in MSK care, is not enough, the reasoning and hands on strategies we use must also align with it.

Positional Release or Strain Counter Strain is one of those passive hands on techniques which can help both the therapist and the client to shift away from a muscle focused understanding of pain and to put the client in the driving seat of the therapeutic experience. Anna Maria has chosen to present it with a focus on its use with Lower Back Pain, especially acute LBP, as from her clinical expertise is one of the most difficult pain to help reconceptualise and provide meaninful relief from. A totally practical session where you will be encouraged to practice and experience the techniques shown.
