Definition:

Advanced Fascial Articulatory Techniques (AFAT) are passive joint movements that are repeated using a particular position so that specific leverage enhances the passive movement and thus helps to mobilise an area. We don't use force but aim to position the person in such a way that we can increase the range of motion, relax fascial and muscular tissues, improve joint nutrition and so on without causing ourselves undue fatigue and strain. It is then possible to use Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) as an extension of the AFAT techniques, where we use careful palpation to position the client having identified the lesioned area and then ask the client to move in a certain way to help to relax the tissues.
