Fascial Expansions & Acupressure
65 videos • 1,865 views • by Brian Abelson Fascial expansions are a core element of the Motion Specific Release (MSR) system. When combined with targeted osseous and myofascial procedures and functional exercises, this approach offers a holistic treatment for musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. By releasing fascial restrictions, fine-tuning the kinetic chain, and stimulating the nervous system through acupressure (or Acupuncture), MSR helps restore function and accelerate healing. FOR PRACTITIONERS: Our fascial expansion videos offer a regional breakdown of key acupuncture points used to treat specific areas of the body. For a deeper dive, our MSR Pro section includes detailed blogs on each fascial expansion and how it integrates with acupuncture or acupressure, depending on your scope of practice. You can also share acupressure recommendations with your patients to combine with your exercise prescriptions, ensuring a seamless combination of hands-on treatment and functional exercises. FOR PATIENTS: Our fascial expansion section empowers you with knowledge about the techniques your practitioner uses, helping you better understand your treatment plan. You’ll also have access to self-care acupressure videos to complement your prescribed exercises—giving you the tools to actively support your healing journey. PREGNANCY CONTRAINDICATIONS: During pregnancy, certain acupuncture points, like LI4, SP6, BL60, BL67, and GB21, should be avoided due to their potential to trigger uterine contractions. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment. Becoming proficient in Motion Specific Release (MSR) requires more than just watching videos or reading articles—although these are valuable starting points. True mastery involves immersive, hands-on training that deepens your understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and refined tactile skills. MSR isn’t a skill you can gain overnight; it’s a journey of focused practice and collaboration with mentors and peers, transforming knowledge into expertise. The techniques you see here are just a preview. To unlock the full power of MSR and achieve real results for your patients, join our MSR Pro community.
