You Are Not Broken (Part 2 of 2)

Seeking Professional Help – Have You Been Compliant?

In addition to your other treatments – medications, physical therapy and/or chiropractic treatments, ice and heat, salves, patches and creams – have you tried stopping the behaviors that lead you to the state of dysfunction which includes persistent pain and discomfort?  This assumes the conditions are not auto-immune based or a random injury such as a fall or car accident. Although recovery from these and similar conditions still includes the patient’s compliance and efforts.

By changing injurious behaviors we could include:

You Are Not Broken (Part 1 of 2)

I cannot tell you the number of people I have talked with in the past 10 years in my career as an “Assisted Healer” or a Soft Tissue Specialist and expert in natural pain relief. I can tell you that I get my business cards printed in 500 and 1000 card batches. I pass out about 300-500 cards a year and have that many or more conversations about my work annually.

That are a lot of conversations with people from all walks of life about pain and dysfunction.

I feel it is accurate to say that a large percentage of my professional time is spent educating the public about the benefits of my work. Educating the public that a remedy or solution exists for their particular malady or personal health goal.

Finding Self Value in a Bargain Centered World

As I continue to develop personally and approach the tenth year anniversary from my training in Therapeutic Massage and related manipulations (graduation date July 2000), I look to further define the place of my work.

The topics of- massage clubs ,”Why licensed massage isn’t covered by insurance as a ‘stand alone’ therapy” and “How do I feel about this or the other type of practitioner?” – are very common in my daily experience.

The advent of “massage clubs” across the nation through clever marketing, the power of corporate buying and the increasing need of the American population to relieve our ever elevating physical and mental stress has had at least a three-fold result:

How Can Being Stretched and Soft Tissue Work Help My Golf Game?

If you or anyone you know are playing golf or participating in a health regimen that involves workouts and diet control, then Soft Tissue Work is an essential component.

Stretching and Soft Tissue Work:

• Lengthen Myofasciae in muscles and joints to increase Range of Motion (ROM) and athletes’ ability to create power.
• Increase local and regional circulation of blood and lymph, thereby increasing metabolism to speed recovery.
• Improve balance and flexibility of the athlete’s body in relation to gravity.

Anytime you run, lift weights, do pylometrics, yoga or compete in your sport, you are attempting to create change.  You improve flexibility, muscle tone, tendon and ligament strength.  You are also increasing your body’s Active Intelligence Quotient.

Cerebral Palsy – Standing Tall and Walking Straight

In the last few years, I have been lucky enough to help create a significant impact on the lives of several children with Cerebral Palsy.

As a specialist Rolf Method Practitioner, I am concerned with manipulating the connective tissue (myofasciae) of my patients.  This soft tissue manipulation is extremely effective for people with limited ability to walk, stand and sit with a normal gait and posture due to chronic spasm and shortening in their musculature.

Chronic and Acute Pain Relief

Soft Tissue Success Where Traditional PT and Chiro Care Alone Struggles

People often wonder how Soft Tissue specialists (LMT’s or Rolf Method practitioners) have been successful in rehabilitating patients with severe injuries, post surgery complications or chronic pain where others were not.

The condition of a person’s soft tissue – muscles and connective tissue (think of: tendons, ligaments and joint capsules of knees and spine, etc.) after or before a major event are often shortened and tough. This lack of movement in those layers reduces circulation (or is “ischemic”) of blood and lymph fluid at the injury site and the surrounding area so it will not respond to standard stretch and strengthen techniques offered at other offices.
