ZERO Technique
A particular form of “sensory stimulation” that brings an immediate release of myofascial tension and, as a result, helps reduce muscular pain.
Where certain rules are respected, effectiveness reaches 100%. The release of fascial tension, and with it a reduction in muscular pain, happens quickly, in the order of a few seconds, though in some cases 50-70 seconds may be needed. From the checks carried out, the technique also proves effective in states of chronic muscular tension. The effect can be permanent, but in some cases it may recur over time; the essential requirement is that the person co-operates.

Foundations
The basis of the ZERO Technique
The ZERO Technique consists of a “neuromodulation of pain through the activation of peripheral Gate Control mechanisms combined with descending central inhibition”. The technique takes its cue from the relationship between muscular pain (or an alteration of its function and structure) and a certain kind of lived experience. Non-invasive and painless, through a double “sensory stimulation” it rapidly releases tension in the muscle and/or the fascia and consequently reduces muscular pain. Given the distinctive nature of the technique and how quickly it is performed, it can be integrated into any bodywork technique already practised. The essential requirement is that the person co-operates. With practice it is possible to reach a self-induction of the technique (self-treatment).
