Certified in Fibromyalgia Bodywork by the Institute of Somatic Therapy.

This passive technique is based on the osteopathic technique of strain/counterstrain, and is a gentle repositioning to create a shortening of the muscle. The active technique is an isotonic/isometric lengthening of the contracted muscle. Both techniques trigger a neuromuscular response that releases chronic tension.
