The 21 CE hour Positional Release Techniques home study course is an advanced course defining and explaining the massage modality of positional release and its many components. Positional release is based on the principle of placing the body in a pain free position of ease to release muscle and fascial tissue restrictions. The value of positional release techniques lies in its non-invasive nature and ease of application. There are many positional release methods such as strain/counterstrain, functional technique, facilitated positional release, padded wedges, McKenzie method, taping, and the Mulligan concept. This course also presents research evidence supporting the use of positional release. Please note that this course does use advanced terminology throughout the textbook. This course also includes a DVD-ROM outlining the most common positional release methods and providing an electronic copy of the textbook.
