ONSEN Technique® by Rich Phaigh

When structural stress is the source of pain, the only way to alleviate the pain is to correct the structure. Often pain shows up far away from its cause and that is why structural analysis is vital. An understanding of the common threads which run through all patient suffering pain will help us to set the wheels in motion for a complete and lasting change in the patients we treat. The three components of ONSEN are Muscle Energy Technique, Post Isometric Relaxation and Transverse Friction Massage.
