A friend of mine happens to run the physical therapy clinic at KU med ctr, so I asked her about the Pfrimmer technique. Here's the gist of her response: > I just talked with our two "soft tissue" experts in the physical > therapy clinic > and none of us have ever heard of Pfrimmer. It sounds like to > "myofascial > release" techniques that we use for people with tightness of the > muscles and > fascia (connective layers in the muscles). <snip> ..... make the person feel more relaxed and looser for a > short time. > Although we have talked often about exercise for PWP, apparently my friend wasn't aware of the dsytonia etc that might be helped by therapeutic massage -- now she's interested, and she's on the KUMC PD team, and maybe this topic will get the attention it deserves!
