INTEGRATED NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL RELEASE. CONCEPTIONS AND PRACTICES

Abstract

Integrated neuromusculoskeletal release (INR) is an osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) technique that has been formalized by Robert C. Ward. INR using a segmental anterior/posterior approach is an osteopathic manipulative treatment technique that is easily learned and applied (Danto, 2003).This approach focuses on both the anterior and posterior connectivity of the body through the neuromusculoskeletal system and uses this connectivity to effectively treat somatic dysfunctions. The whole of OMT has been concerned, purposefully or not, with manipulation of the fascia. Objectives: The principles of INR are discussed, as well as the role of INR in the diagnosis and treatment of somatic dysfunctions.
