Chapter 8-Turning Point; Shift

September 13, 2019 by Lisa T.

“Highly toxic chemotherapeutic drugs developed in the 1950’s kill ALL rapidly dividing cells in the body, which means not only cancer cells but many kinds of healthy cells as well” p.153 Chemotherapy, as a treatment for cancer, is counterintuitive then. Is it legal for me to say that? The above quote is from a Ph.D. neuroscientist who worked at the National Institutes of Health. “I intuitively knew my father wasn’t going to make it.”-Candace Pert, p.158 “It was at this juncture […]

Chapter 7-The Biochemicals of Emotion, the Body’s Natural Opiate

September 5, 2019 by Lisa T.

Continuing on in “Molecules of Emotion”, The Science Behind Mind-Body (same thing) Medicine; Dr. Pert says, “…endorphins are the body’s own natural morphine which your body makes too.” There are a thousand studies on this and physicians all know it’s true. Bodyworkers are at the top of the heap when it comes to stimulating natural opioids in the body. Massage therapists, deep tissue workers, manual therapists, and all other types of soft tissue workers know that this is the case. […]

The Root of Pain

August 17, 2019 by Lisa T.

The CNS and PNS Here is the soft tissue system that registers pain to the brain to be interpreted. It’s called your PNS and CNS and is composed of all of your nerves. They are filled with axoplasmic fluid and tiny blood vessels. What tissue do these nerves flow into? The muscles and organs. And the blood constantly flows throughout all of it, never stopping, pumped by the heart. That’s amazing in itself, the skin holds it all in there […]

bones are rigid and controllable; muscles are not

July 30, 2019 by Lisa T.

I’ve wondered for twenty years, after having my hands on thousands of patients, why in god’s name the chiropractors and orthopedic doctors and surgeons, mostly men, focus on THE BONE as the cause of pain and pathology in the body and treat the muscles and blood like the geneticists treat junk DNA which is an offensive name to biologists. I’ve stated the anatomical fact on this blog numerous times and that is, bone and disc follow muscle and the […]

What is a Muscle Adhesion?

July 29, 2019 by Lisa T.

A muscle adhesion is composed of muscle fibers that have balled up or contracted and shortened and ceased blood flow because of an unconscious signal or trauma you sent from your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or due to an injury. It’s a defense mechanism, an immune system response to trauma visited on the most abundant tissue in the body; the muscle. The street word is “knots” and they can sit in the body forever and inhibit blood […]

The Muscles Need to be Treated and Viewed Medically

February 22, 2019 by Lisa T.

What is the name for a Doctor of Muscles? For instance, a doctor specializing in nerves is a neurologist. A doctor specializing in the bladder system is a urologist and the list continues. There are always medical specialists for specific organs simply because the modern medical education system is reductionist which is the breakdown of the body down into pieces in its study and application of treatment even though the body functions ONE WHOLE UNIT. Every part affects every other. […]

My Car is Broken (my body) and the Mechanic (the Dr.) Needs to Fix It.

January 24, 2019 by Lisa T.

The title is not really an accurate analogy but that’s the way most patients think about their body; like a car. When you touch and move your body does it FEEL like a metal, rubber, and plastic car? No. You are not made of metal, rubber, and plastic. Do you run on gasoline? No, You run on blood and air that is fed by Qi, food, and water. Your body is squishy, like soil, clay, or grass, your bones feel […]

Manual Therapists Work at the Joint Complex

December 30, 2018 by Lisa T.

There is an important distinction that is vital for Physical Therapists and Massage Therapists to understand regarding Naprapathic Manual Therapists. We do not focus on or work the muscle belly. We do not focus on JUST the muscles. It is a compromise with our state and with marketing to call ourselves medical massage therapists. I was only a medical massage therapist back in 2002-2005. Going forward we are Professional Naprapathic Manual Therapists for those that do the advanced study. We […]

Body Care That is a Joy for 2019

December 29, 2018 by Lisa T.

Can you imagine doing something that has to do with your healthcare that is a pleasure? For most of us, our blood pressure goes up when we have to go to the doctor or think about something “heathcarish”. That is not the case when you step into my office. Everything is comfy, warm, safe, and quiet. It feels like a sanctuary. Some patients like to talk on the table, others don’t. I follow your lead and mostly listen. Usually what […]
