Hamstring Stretch
Patient supine. Physician standing at table on side to be treated.
Flex hip by placing patient’s foot on doctor’s shoulder and engaging flexion barrier
Can do MFR and contact distal hamstring insertions and stretch fascia towards proximal attachment
Can do ME by taking patient into direct flexion barrier
and have them return to neutral (extend) with isometric counter-resistance for 3-5 seconds. During isometric post-relaxation, move further into barrier.
Internal/External Rotators
Patient supine with hips and knees flexed to 90 degrees
Physician standing at table on side to be treated.
Internal and external rotation of the hip is assessed and doctor takes it into restrictive barrier and instructs patient to return to neutral against isometric counter-resistance from doctor for 3-5 seconds.
During isometric post-relaxation, move further into barrier. Repeat until no new barriers are found.
Iliopsoas
Patient supine. Physician standing at table on side to be treated.
Patient’s leg on side of dysfunction is extended off the side of the table
Doctor contacts ipsilateral thigh and contralateral ASIS (to block linkage)
Thigh is extended to the extension restrictive barrier. Instruct patient to return to neutral by flexing thigh to ceiling, with isometric counter-resistance for 3-5 seconds
During isometric post-relaxation, move further into barrier. Repeat until no new barriers are found.
Wrist Flexor Retinaculum Dysfunction (Carpal Tunnel release)

Still’s Wrist MFR
