BASED ON THE LATEST MYOFASCIAL SCIENCE: The Method employs the groundbreaking anatomy of the myofascial chain system as its foundation. Based on the respected courses and books from Thomas Myers and The Kinesis Myofascial Institute - "Anatomy Trains – Myofascial Meridians".
CHAIN - STRETCH: In addition to the Release techniques, TKM also teaches an updated stretch approach. Address an entire myofascial sling of muscles, rather than being limited to the more traditional singular muscle group way of stretching
