What is a Meningeal Release?
A meningeal release is the term for the specialized soft tissue stretch which is performed by ABC™ practitioners as part of the Advanced BioStructural Correction™ treatment protocol. The meningeal release is designed to break up scar tissue and adhesion of the meninges - the protective connective tissue covering the brain and spinal cord - deep within the spine. These releases help to remove tension on the brain and spinal cord which can be a source of pain and dysfunction in neck, back, pelvis and elsewhere in the body.
There are three different positions in which a meningeal release may be performed. The first is designed to stretch the front, or anterior, portion of the meninges. The second is designed to stretch the back, or posterior, portion of the meninges. The third is designed to stretch the side, or lateral, portion of the meninges.
When receiving an ABC™ treatment, your body will be tested to determine which meningeal releases, if any, your body requires at that moment in time. Treatment typically includes at least one meningeal release, but on any given visit you could receive the release in all three positions, or not at all, or anything in between. Your body will be constantly moving and changing during treatment, and as a result, some aspects of the treatment will vary from one visit to the next. The body is always being tested to determine what is required at the time, and treatments will be applied accordingly.
Many people find the act of the meningeal release a bit awkward at first, but with a bit of practice and knowing what to expect, it becomes easier over time. This is perfectly normal, as it is not a stretch that you could do yourself, that’s why it takes a professional ABC™ practitioner to perform a meningeal release. Just remember, the more you relax, the better the stretch, and the better the effects.
