AcuPoint Release™ Technique

Point Release™ Technique in the Hospital Setting By Ashley Redford MA, HHE, CSMT, CAMT, CAYT, CWHP   It brings me great joy to live in a body that is fifteen years older and no longer limited  by moment-to-moment pain. There is nothing like being in a hospital for an extended time and being in pain. Many hospitals do not provide adequate pain management, costs for pain management can be astronomical, the beds are not long-term friendly, and the staff are not always available to assist you when it is needed. The Traditional Chinese Medical benefits of PRT with pain symptoms are an excellent option for patients who are hospitalized. I have applied PRT to clients in wheelchairs as well, but sensory recognition and muscular control are key components to PRT when practicing solo. Assisted applications can also be used in a hospital setting, but I am going to focus on solo application for now. One story is about an 80-something man who had been admitted with pneumonia. H
