Over time, tension, trauma, and postural stress can stiffen the body’s musculofascial system and limit coordinated movement. In this dynamic course, Erik Dalton and Paul Kelly demonstrate how to reverse such patterns with targeted mobilization and corrective retraining. Through traction, gliding mobilizations, graded exposure stretching, and muscle energy techniques, you’ll develop precise strategies for improving movement efficiency. The result is faster pain relief and more sustainable movement outcomes for your clients. Here, you can watch Erik work with adhesive capsulitis.
Technique Spotlight
The Femoroacetabular Distraction Technique combines traction with femoral rotation to temporarily unload the femoroacetabular joint while introducing varied mechanical and sensory input through the hip capsule. By maintaining decompression as the femur moves through internal and external rotation, the practitioner reduces compressive loading while exposing the hip to safe, varied movement.
