Myofascial release (MFR) is a specific therapy modality that requires extra training. My friend @jenniferhunter can explain it better than I do. Manual therapy includes MFR, manually finding and releasing tight muscles, stretching & manipulation by the therapist, massage and other techniques. Most of the PT's who do this are Doctors of Physical Therapy and can be found through pain rehab clinics, rehab centers, and some ortho and neuro docs. They also give you highly specific stretches and/or exercises to do on your own. Today my PT worked exclusively on a problem I am having with one shoulder, arm and hand using a combination of manipulation, MFR of key restrictions and stretching.

As for turmeric, I wasn't very successful until I used curcumin (350 mg) with black pepper (2.5 mg) three times a day. Also, duloxetine only works for me if I keep moving and stretching - even when I hurt. I have found sitting or lying on the sofa, or in the recliner makes me much worse. That reminds me, I am due for a quick walk - I have been at the keyboard for an hour!
