How do I know where to start your session?
One of the key parts of Adhesion Release Methods is the test–treat–retest system, and it all starts with provocative range of motion tests. These movements are designed to let the body talk. By guiding the body through specific motions that reproduce pain, tightness, or restriction, we get important clues about where adhesions may be limiting normal movement.
Instead of guessing where to start treatment, these tests help identify which structures are most responsible for the symptoms you’re feeling. That information guides the session so we can begin in the area most likely contributing to the problem. Once the adhesions are treated, we retest the movement to see how the body responds. It’s a systematic way to track progress.
1️⃣ Straight Leg Raise - tests the sciatic nerve
2️⃣ Knee Flexion Hip Extension - tests the femoral nerve
(These are not the only 2 tests I use)
Range of motion (ROM) is measured, and we attack the area with the most restriction in ROM first - even if that’s not where the pain is presenting. Many times the source of the pain is upstream.
⚠️ Adhesion is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic pain
What’s adhesion?
🔎 Adhesion is a glue-like scar tissue that sticks muscles, nerves, and soft tissue together, limiting movement, creating compensations, and causing pain.
I use to
▪️Find the adhesion causing you pain
▪️Break it up with precise manual therapy
▪️Get you back to living your life
