Ligamentous Articular Strain

Ligamentous Articular Strain is a therapeutic technique employed to treat musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. This manual therapy approach, developed by Conrad Speece, D.O., and William Garner Sutherland, D.O., focuses on the restoration of optimal length and function to ligaments surrounding joints, hence reducing pain and enhancing mobility.

The technique relies on the inherent viscoelastic properties of ligaments; their capacity to both stretch under tension and return to their original position upon release. This unique characteristic allows trained professionals to gently manipulate these structures as a means of alleviating discomfort associated with various conditions such as sprains, arthritis or postural imbalances.

Distinct from other similar modalities, Ligamentous Articular Strain targets the core cause of musculoskeletal dysfunction rather than its symptoms alone. Thus it holds promise for long-term patient outcomes in terms of pain management and functional recovery.
