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 […]

Paying Cash for Healthcare-Simplified

December 26, 2018 by Lisa T.

It is not a huge profit boon to private doctors and hospitals to be waiting to be paid by your health insurance company. They are in no better position with the insurance companies than we are. We all know from dealing with any type of our own insurance that insurance companies are FOR PROFIT, as are health insurance companies, and it is their policy to NOT pay your claim if they can get away with it, even though they’ve been […]

The Muscles Need to be Treated and Viewed Medically

December 13, 2018 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 on the list goes. 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 […]

Regular Soft Tissue Therapy is Essential

December 11, 2018 by Lisa T.

Most of the patients I see are acute or chronic and usually in a lot of pain. My skill and technique have developed over the years to get rid of their pain quickly which is why, I suppose, people come in and go out my door likes it’s a revolving one and many times I don’t see them again. I could be proud of this fact but instead, I’m not getting something across to everyone. I’ve tried over the years […]

Your Body Is Everything

December 10, 2018 by Lisa T.

Your body is your superpower. Earth is a travelin’ place. If you don’t have your body, nothing can make up for it. Whether you spend most of your time at your house or out of your house, you have to move to live a good life and to be healthy. Our entire being and human evolution have been about moving, seeing, talking to others and learning. That’s why it’s so odd to me that the powers that be invented tech […]

Endogenous Opioids

November 2, 2018 by Lisa T.

Endogenous means growing or originating from within an organism. That organism is us, our bodies. It’s a fact that our bodies contain naturally occurring opioids which are pain-relieving analgesics. You really should not take the synthetic stuff which is NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) or Rx! It’s addictive. Come and see me instead, or a licensed bodyworker. The endogenous opioids are in our blood. It just another superhero/heroine quality of human blood that bodyworkers need be raving about; especially to Washington. NCBI link […]
