Myofascial Release and Cranio Sacral Therapies are massage techniques many massage therapists use. Ask a therapist if they know the techniques. if you're seeking a massage therapist, call a massage training school or a physical therapy clinic for referral. a "massage thumper" is an electric vibrating device equipt with rubber pads of several densities. Consumer versions are available at discount stores (or possibly on-line). Regards, Geo.D.

Between their efforts and frequent application of an electric massage "thumper" by my patient spouse, I feel I'm staying looser than I would be otherwise.
