What techniques are used in a PUSH® treatment?
The techniques involved during PUSH treatments are: palpation, stationary pressure, integration, and Soft Pressure StimulationSM. Light palpation is used to locate anatomy markers, feel for sensitivity and tonicity, and to help educate the client about the area being treated. Stationary pressure is applied to certain areas to help desensitize hypersensitive tissue and begin the blood flow restoration process. Integration techniques help the therapist locate and eliminate adhesions (immobile, bundled tissue). Soft Pressure StimulationSM technique is unique to PUSH® therapy and is applied with a relaxed, non-forceful pressure from the therapist. SPS technique requires the therapist to be in a relaxed, non-tense state so that the tissue being treated can be engaged and stimulated, allowing maximum blood flow to return to the tissue. Unlike our SPS technique, hard or forceful pressure is more painful and inhibits “engagement” which prevents proper stimulation of tissue.
