A

brought on by the restrictions. This is a manual technique that is

techniques, Soft-tissue Mobilization techniques such as
interfiber/intermuscular/intramuscular stroking, z-friction, circular
friction, elbowing, knuckling releases, and, 3-D releases such as
tissue gliding, crosshands, tissue & muscle play). Those D.C.'s
