2. #NET, a mind-body technique which helps to release stick trauma memory in the fasciae system.
3. #ART, a specific fascial release technique.
To truly release a body from trauma, you need to address the structure, chemistry and emotional components of trauma. Only then will the fascial memory allow normalization and release old patterns. Only then will structural adjustments and tissue release techniques be effective and long lasting.
