Effort percentage is the level of resistance the practitioner asks for, such as 20 or 50 percent, never full strength.
In 📝Resisted Soft-Tissue Release the client stays in charge of the number. Full-strength fighting produces 📝Guarding, not more softening. It is a dose, not a test of toughness, and not a medical load prescription. Pain is a reason to drop the percentage, not to raise it.
Clients can name a number. "I don't know" defaults low.
