When your body is in acute pain, you have a tendency to move into a position of comfort. Positional release aims to take advantage of that tendency. I can move your body through the 3 axes of motion and, depending upon your pain levels and positioning, find the position of greatest comfort, hold that position, and in all likelihood, some or all of your pain will dissipate. The position you wind up being in, may seem a bit weird, but if that is where you are most comfortable, your body will relax, and a lot of the excess muscle tension your body has been using to "splint' your injured part, will diminish, leaving only the minimum amount to keep the joint safe.
