The key fusion points, diagonals, and movement patterns were then addressed in the 2002 book, Fascial Manipulation for Musculoskeletal Pain. [6] Later on, he formulated a practical manual of the Stecco Method with Carla Stecco, and wrote the practical manual for internal organs that focused on internal dysfunction, which was published in 2007.
Counterstrain is a technique used in osteopathic medicine, osteopathy, physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic to treat somatic dysfunction. [1] It is a system of diagnosis and treatment that uses tender points, which are produced by trauma, inflammation, postural strain, or disease, to identify structures to manipulate. [2]
Irvin Korr, J. S. Denslow and colleagues did the original body of research on manual therapy. [2] Korr described it as the "Application of an accurately determined and specifically directed manual force to the body, in order to improve mobility in areas that are restricted; in joints, in connective tissues or in skeletal muscles."
Myofascial release (MFR, self-myofascial release) is an alternative medicine therapy claimed to be useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.

[83] Spinal manipulation is a passive manual maneuver during which a three-joint complex is taken past the normal range of movement, but not so far as to dislocate or damage the joint. [84]
The Fascial Net Plastination Project is an anatomical research initiative established in 2018 aimed at plastinating and studying the human fascial network. The collaboration was initiated by Robert Schleip as a joint effort between Body Worlds , Fascia Research Group, and the Fascia Research Society.
The Times magazine later removed the essay from its website, with a statement that editors had "confronted the photographer and determined that most of the images did not wholly reflect the reality they purported to show".

In the MUA literature, spinal manipulation under anesthesia has been described as a controversial procedure. [27] [28] It has had a history susceptible to enthusiastic claims of success and indiscriminate use. [29] With continued misperceptions about the findings and significance of primary research, [30] similar issues remain today.
