• Groove new movement patterns immediately
• Faster, better training results

Fascial Assessments

Myofascial chain stability & mobility|
Nervous system mobility ||
Movement
Copyright©2014 Stretch to Win Holdings
Fascial Mobility AssessmentsLower Body
• Squat• Check Leg Length (LL)• Passive SLR• Passive hip joint capsule traction &
stretch• Lateral neuro-myofascial chain traction &
stretch
Re-assess LL, SLR, squat: Group 1, then 2Copyright©2014 Stretch to Win Holdings
Hip joint capsule traction notes

Check lateral movement (moving to the therapist’s right side)Goal: To assess the client’s ROM on the lateral side of their body and to ascertain where they may be restricted as you move them laterally. Client position: Supine with arms at their side.Therapist:• Lift both of the client’s extended legs with traction at 10°–20° again.• Hold both of their heels in the palms of your hands and gently wrap your fingers around their heels. • Engage your core and bend your knees slightly. • Move slowly to the right until the client’s movement stops.• If their hip begins to roll up off the table you have reached the end of their ROM.Traction: Lean back with your body, stay relaxed.
Lateral Line Stretch Movement

Fascial Mobility AssessmentsUpper Body
Supine:• Active arm length (palms together): 90°, full flexion • Arms overhead (palms apart)• Passive shoulder joint capsule traction-stretch: 90°
Side lying:• Shoulder abduction-lateral line assessment-stretch
Re-assess: arm length and overhead [Group 1 then 2]

Goal: Target tissues within the posterior aspects of the shoulder joint. Check for anterior posterior joint glide and restrictions.Client position: Client lying supine on the tableTrainer/coach: • Grasp client arm on the lower arms bones to traction their arm upward, keeping the clients elbow straight. Hands are placed on each side of their wrist above the joint.• Traction of the shoulder up at 90° flexion.• Stand very close to client and lean slightly over them to have the best leverage.• Check for posterior joint glide and restrictions by gently lifting the arm upward.Traction: Shoulder up at 90° flexion.
Shoulder joint traction

ROM-with client lying on side • Hook your Traction arm at 90 deg abduction• Traction up to ceiling
Lateral Line – upper body (part 1 of 2)
Copyright©2014 Stretch to Win Holdings
Stretch movement 1• On exhale, traction out & down to
floor• Lift their arm up and over a stretch wave• Increase overhead abduction• Squat down for better leverage
PNF - cue is have them pull their scapula down to their same hip as they roll their body back down to the table; Repeat PNF 2 or more times
Stretch movement 2• Maintain stretch position in #1 &
have client gently rotate torso toward/away from floor/table. No PNF.
