Check out the RESULTS from the December 2019 Technique of the Month! We reviewed a technique classified by the demonstrator as Indirect or Functional Method.
What were respondents’ choices to classify the demonstrated technique?
- For their first choice, respondents were about evenly split between Indirect or Functional Method (39%, 14/36) and Myofascial Release (36%, 13/36).
- As one of their 3 choices, respondents were also about evenly split between Indirect or Functional Method (72%, 26/36) and Myofascial Release (67%, 24/36). The technique selected by the 3rd highest number of respondents as one of their 3 choices was Balanced Ligamentous Tension or Ligamentous Articular Strain (39%, 14/36).
What did respondents say when they learned the technique demonstrator classified the technique as Indirect or Functional Method?
- Respondents who Agreed with the Classification of the Demonstrated Technique (Indirect or Functional Method was one of their 3 choices)
- Straighforward
- I still don’t see the difference to a myofascial release technique. Although I read the definitions so often now. Do you think that the tissue understand the difference?
- It was categorized correctly since these techniques all blend together.
- Respondents who Disagreed with Classification of the Demonstrated Technique (Indirect or Functional Method was not one of their 3 choices)
- Working with the tissue
- What I heard (very difficult to see anything) was engagement of the barrier. The audio was choppy.
- Going with the tissue where it wants to go
