The Fryday Protocol for Soft Tissue injuries was developed over 22 years of hands on experience. Dr. Fryday combines advanced technologies with the “Gold Standard” in soft tissue treatment.

By combining these modalities he has found that the outcomes are that much more effective and a total rehabilitation is the end result. It is not just about eliminating the symptom of pain, but , increasing the range of motion of the effected joint and restoring optimal muscle function. Most conventional treatments concentrate on the elimination of pain without the rehabilitation of the involved joint and surrounding soft tissue which in a majority of causes the problem comes back as the patient resumes the activity that initially caused the problem.

The Fryday Protocol combines Torque Release technique, Extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT), low energy laser biostimulation therapy(laser) and Active Release Techniques soft tissue management system(ART).

Torque release bases its technique on gentle touch and light thrusting by hand or instrument. This low-force adjusting method allows the nervous system to better integrate and understand the new corrective information and to process it throughout the spinal cord and brain.

The primary intent of Torque Release Technique is to progressively reduce blockages and tension of the entire spinal system, to release trapped unresolved patterns in the body/mind, and to facilitate reintegration of the nervous system, allowing a greater expression of one’s healing and performance capabilities.

ESWT works by subjecting the effected area, usually an insertion site of a tendon into bone, with short pulsed shock waves. These high- energy acoustic pulses improve the metabolism in the pain region, increase blood circulation and thus effectively stimulate the body`s intrinsic repair mechanisms. In other words ESWT is all about activating the body`s self-healing abilities.

Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of billions of photons of light. The body absorbs this laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to commence its own tissue repairs. The biostimulating effect of laser causes a decrease in inflammation and pain and an increase in tissue regeneration and healing.

ART is the “Gold Standard” in soft tissue treatment. When soft tissue has been injured, or even chronically tight, it forms scare tissue. While necessary for healing, scar tissue may stick to adjacent structures restricting range of motion and may cause compression over nerves or blood vessels. This condition alters the texture of soft tissue, which an experienced ART provider can diagnose and treat.

A precise hand or thumb contact is applied by the Doctor to the problem area and the patient is directed to move the region of the body through a specific range of motion. Through the combination of tension to the tissue from the Doctor, and motion by the patient, the tissue will slide under the Doctor`s contact. This process has been proven to rapidly break up scar tissue and yield recovery of many types of soft tissue conditions .

When these modalities and techniques are used in conjunction the outcomes are that much more effective. Twelve treatments are administered over a four week period. ESWT is administered one time per week with laser and ART performed on all other visits. Torque release is administered at every visit.

The Fryday Protocol provides patients with a safe, and effective therapy that uses the body`s own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration.

Any one that is suffering from acute or chronic pain and loss of mobility due to injury from repetitive strain, sports injuries, and cumulative trauma disorders will benefit from this treatment protocol. Before you consider conventional treatment, cortisone injections or surgery you owe it to yourself to try the Fryday Protocol.
