M ofaction and MET both involve isometric muscle contraction and post-isometric relaxation and require patient cooperation. Myofaction uses patient focused breathing and a mixture of stretching and kneading to challenge longitudinal, transverse and torsional barriers, whereas MET just uses stretching to challenge the longitudinal muscle barrier and the joint motion barrier.

What is Myofaction?
Myofaction treats muscle shortness, hypertonicity & hyperexcitability from underuse, overuse or injury. It is a direct technique that uses kneading, stretching, isometric contraction, post-isometric relaxation & breathing - internal & external forces. Internal tension is isometric contraction & held inhalation. This is followed by post-isometric relaxation, patient aided relaxation & exhalation. During exhalation the therapist takes up the tension with kneading & stretching. myofaction.xyz/
The use of breathing during myofaction and massage
Respiratory force is the use of respiration and injunction to induce relaxation. Breathing is a useful timekeeper that helps the patient organise their attention on the treatment. During myofaction the patient focuses on contracting and tensing their muscles during inhalation and relaxing their muscles while you apply kneading and stretching during exhalation.

Here are some tricks to know about the forearm muscles and nerves: Forearm Muscles and Nerves *Flexor Muscles* 1. *Pronator Teres*: Innervated by the median nerve (C6-C7), this muscle helps with forearm pronation. 2. *Flexor Carpi Radialis*: Innervated by the median nerve (C6-C7), this muscle assists with wrist flexion. 3. *Flexor Carpi Ulnaris*: Innervated by the ulnar nerve (C8-T1), this muscle helps with wrist flexion and ulnar deviation. 4. *Flexor Digitorum Superficialis*: Innervated…
