What is Toggle Recoil and its intended benefit?

Toggle Recoil is a low-force, high-velocity, low-amplitude adjustment technique variant. It delivers a very quick toggle impulse and then a deliberate recoil to absorb energy. The recoil step reduces the net load on surrounding tissues, helping to control the thrust and limit tissue strain. The main benefit is to achieve a precise, safe adjustment with less soft tissue disruption and greater patient comfort, especially in sensitive areas or when a gentler approach is preferred. This is why it fits the description of a technique that aims to reduce tissue strain while maintaining a controlled, effective thrust.
