INF® Therapy

"INF® Therapy only (INF® Therapy is a manual therapy technique that consists of three components. The first is the pressurization or facilitation hold which biases circulation more consistently in the nerves, which is thought to pressurize the entire system The secondary hold attempts to stretch the innervated structure, pulling apart the tough dividing membrane and allowing the pressurized blood flow to transport from the outside holding chamber to the endoneurium and push open the closed capillary beds next to the nerve axons. Once capillaries surrounding the nerves are pressurized, the circulation needs to be induced up the neural connective tissue. A separate set of pressure points or holds are performed distal to the secondary holds to ensure the circulation is drawn up the inflamed capillary beds using the Bernoulli principle.)"
