The ELDOA method involves a variety of one-minute exercises specific to a certain joint or area of the body that are designed to self-normalize those tissues. These exercises are very specific and sometimes complex stretches — more adeptly called “extreme end-range contractions.”
Angie Campbell explains that ELDOA exercises promote healing by using global-fascial tension to make space around the joint. Global-fascial tension is the act of summoning all of the effort and tension you can muster to pull two points on your body away from one another when you’re positioned in a particular exercise. It’s that tension that creates de-coaptation, or space around a joint.
