Dr. Cullers will discuss and demonstrate how Post Isometric Relaxation Technique (PIR), a Manual Muscle Energy Technique tool is used to improve function through the release of hypertonic musculature and has been found to be more effective than simple stretching.
Post Isometric Relaxation Technique (PIR) is commonly used by osteopaths and utilizes an isometric contractual phase followed by gentle stretching of the same muscle.
