Inhibition that myofascial release techniques rely on to decrease the excitability of muscle tissue is known as autogenic inhibition.
Autogenic inhibition is that process in which an agonist which is also known as the primary mover (muscle), relaxes to prevent stress on tendon and the associated muscle. Autogenic means self-generated whereas inhibition refers to limiting.
The American Council on Exercise tells that autogenic inhibition occurs when a Golgi tendon organ is stimulated, causing interruption in the associated muscle's contraction and then forcing it to relax. The automatic reflex is designed to protect muscles from injury during physical activities.
