Functional Range Release Therapy
What is Functional Range Release?
Functional Range Release is currently the latest and most scientifically proven advanced soft tissue therapy system used in chiropractic care. This treatment system focuses on assessing, localizing, and systematically treating soft-tissue lesions (adhesions) and areas of fibrosis (scar tissue) that develop due to injury, repetitive strain, and cumulative trauma.
By utilizing specific Tissue Tension Techniques and Progressive Angular Isometric Loading, Functional Range Release expands on the basic tenets of myofascial release treatments. This approach not only assesses but also expands and strengthens the patient’s functional range of motion, making it a vital tool in effective soft tissue therapy.
Functional Range Release vs Other Systems
The fundamental principle of Functional Range Release centers on influencing a person's central nervous system. It was traditionally believed that muscles alone were responsible for limiting a person's joint range of motion. However, evidence now confirms that it is the central nervous system, which governs muscle length and tension, that has a far greater impact on a person's joint range of motion.
The principles of Functional Range Release thus aim to influence the central nervous system to enhance joint range of motion and strength, distinguishing it from other soft tissue management systems. Dr. Capitano incorporates Functional Range Release into an overall chiropractic care treatment plan to optimize tissue mechanics and accelerate the healing process.
