Functional Tissue Release (FTR) is an innovative manual therapy approach developed to treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions and promote patient health and well-being. The technique is based on advanced knowledge of anatomy and physiology, aiming to restore tissue functionality through specific and targeted maneuvers.

FTR works directly on soft tissue structures, such as muscles, fasciae, and ligaments, employing movements that seek to release adhesions, tensions, and restrictions that may compromise mobility and cause pain. The therapist, when applying the technique, conducts a thorough and careful assessment of the patient to identify the areas requiring intervention, ensuring a personalised and effective treatment.

Key benefits of FTR include:

​

• Pain relief: it reduces acute and chronic pain, promoting rapid symptom relief.

• Improved mobility: it restores the range of motion in joints and enhances the flexibility of soft tissues.

• Injury prevention: by correcting musculoskeletal dysfunctions, it contributes to the prevention of new injuries.

• Acceleration of recovery: it facilitates recovery from sports injuries and post-surgical conditions, promoting more efficient tissue regeneration.

• Overall well-being: it provides a sense of relaxation and improves the patient's quality of life. 

FTR is indicated for a wide range of conditions, including sports injuries, lower back pain, cervical pain, temporomandibular dysfunctions, among others. It is essential that the technique be applied by qualified and specialised professionals, capable of adapting the maneuvers to the individual needs of each patient.
