Strain relaxation is a gentle and non-invasive technique, used for addressing musculoskeletal and stress related tension in the body. It is suitable for
individuals who may be sensitive to more forceful manipulations or who have acute or chronic pain conditions. By positioning the body in a position of mild stretch/strain, the therapist or teacher aims to release tension and promote relaxation in the affected muscles and other soft tissues. As we will see below, it has both short- and long-term benefits.
