Constriction Point Stretching

Range of Motion is Fundamental

The most significant improvement clients experience through treatment is extending their range of motion by focusing on fascial release within connective tissues. Beyond relieving joint tension, our Constriction Point Stretching exercises create additional impact, enhancing our therapy's complete effectiveness. They help establish healthy structural foundations for long-term freedom from Pain.

Increased Tension Displaces Body Structure

The tension of overstretched fibres and progressively shortened fascia places strain on joints beyond physiological comfort, creating tangential forces (lateral forces). These tensions produce another concerning effect. The arrangement of joint heads within their sockets, or the positioning of structures within healthy musculoskeletal systems at genetically predetermined locations, may change. Inevitably, this positional change occurs alongside Pain or varying degrees of tension-related discomfort.

Initially, tension increases due to rising muscular-fascial tone. Consequently, pressure within joints increases, as does lateral displacement between joint surfaces. Depending upon structural configuration, if positions shift unevenly, the structure may 'adjust' suddenly. Most people have experienced this as sudden cracking or popping when moving their hip, spine, or shoulder in particular ways.

External Forces Are Not Long-Term Solutions

Apart from accidents where structural displacement occurs due to sudden external forces, the cause of this physiological disruption typically stems from incorrectly programmed fibre tension. Understanding this, at HolisticPainTherapy we avoid attempting to modify these internal tension structures through external forces on bone structures. Repositioning of this nature would lack permanence, as everyday movement patterns would eventually restore incorrect positioning.

It differs entirely when external force changes correct positioning due to accident or trauma. In such cases, external force application to restore original positioning makes sense, because the fascial structure has not been 'trained' to utilise incorrect positioning.

Allowing Your Body Natural Choice

At HolisticPainTherapy, we address underlying causes. Initially through Osteopressure, muscle fibre tension is released and normalised. This represents the first step in system reset. Constriction Point Stretching exercises are employed to maintain newly achieved range of motion as much as possible. Forces responsible for displaced structures are readjusted, and corresponding brain programmes develop anew. Our specialised exercise methods generate precise movement necessary for your body to 'remember' its physiological positioning.

Increased Tension Displaces Body Structure

During stretching exercises, you will most likely hear a pop at some point. At this moment, your body will have repositioned itself naturally. Your body's innate healing ability, or body intelligence, has decided for itself when and where to position correctly again. This repositioning tends to be permanent because once achieved, the tension leading to displacement is released sufficiently for the system to 'run smoothly'.
