Ligamentous Articular Strain: Treatment of the Bowstring Areas

Ligamentous Articular Strain is a combination of soft tissue techniques that were applied by Andrew Taylor Still and handed down historically from Dr. William Sutherland, D.O via the Dallas Osteopathic Study Group.  Rollin Becker, D.O. said that “you cannot just treat backs, you must also treat fronts or the treatment of the backs won’t last.”  The bowstring relates to the anterior, longitudinal interconnected fasciae that help maintain the anterior-posterior balance of the body and also connects the eight diaphragms.  The treatment protocol is detailed in this module.
