Can a Novel Manual Therapy Technique Help Relieve Stress? Assessing Effects of Primal Reflex Release on the Body's Stress Response
Sponsor: University of Idaho
Summary
Stress, when left unmanaged, can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health, contributing to conditions such as high blood pressure, anxiety, and even cardiovascular disease. Effective stress management therapies may help maintain overall well-being and reduce the risk of long-term health complications. The Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) is a novel manual therapy that may reduce markers related to stress such as heart rate variability (HRV) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to elucidate the potential for PRRT to improve HRV and PROs.

Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT)
Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) is a non-invasive complementary hands-on treatment method intended to help relax the central nervous system by gently stimulating innate protective reflexes. A certified practitioner applies light tactile stimulation to targeted areas in a structured sequence postulated to help release hypertonic muscles, restore regulation of automatic responses, and enable a calm, parasympathetic state.
