Neurodynamics is a term coined by physical therapists David Butler and Michael Shacklock to describe manual methods for mobilizing peripheral nerves. Nerve mobilization includes nerve gliding and nerve tensioning.

About 4,900 years ago, the Egyptians invented chairs, and the human spine has never been the same. Before humans had chairs, they squatted. Archeologists know this from markings on the bones of Neanderthal, paleolithic, and neolithic remains.

In Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques we use several manual methods that lubricate joints and soft tissue by generating warmth in the tissue and rolling fascial sacs across associated structures. Some of these methods restore capsular flexibility, enhance joint play, and encourage pain-free range of motion. Others stimulate muscle spindles to turn on weak muscles and improve their firing patterns.
