{"product_id":"eft-muscle-relaxation-back","title":"EFT Muscle Relaxation (Back)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNot every back problem is the same — and not every taping application is the right tool for every situation. This 45-minute course teaches the EquiTecs GTO Stimulation protocol: a neurosensory application using 2-Way Tape specifically designed to encourage muscles to lengthen, release spasms, and return to a long, loose resting state. While the back is the focus, the course teaches how to apply this protocol to any muscle in the body. Understanding when this is the right tool — and when it isn’t — is as important as knowing how to apply it.

The result is a muscle that lengthens, releases its guarded state, and stops holding. Think of it as the taping equivalent of a muscle relaxer — not a pain killer, not an anti-inflammatory. It has one specific job: getting the muscle to let go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anytime, on any device.
