Here’s some videos of therapeutic techniques that use the body’s own spontaneous movement

Myofascial Unwinding

Simple Contact

Created by Barrett Dorko PT, which used the reflexive reaction of the body to gentle touch at specific sites. It begins with the premise that the body’s own corrective processes are generally sufficient to produce enough mechanical force to reduce pain and normalize function.

Muscle Repositioning

Founded by Fernando Bertolucci, a physician and Rolfer from San Paolo, Brazil. It is a type of myofascial release characterized by integrating body segments. Spontaneous movements can occur during the treatment.
