Muscles and Blood are Most of your Anatomy

June 21, 2018 by Lisa T.

I want to change the name of my business to, “It’s the Muscles” because when it comes to pain and resistance or trouble in the body it starts with muscle adhesions and snowballs down from there. It’s still amazing to me as a bodyworker that the two most abundant and powerful aspects of the body are not medically understood or treated medically by the healthcare profession. You can’t plant seeds or plants with roots by raking the top of the […]

Considering Knee Surgery?

May 21, 2018 by Lisa T.

The manual therapy treatment I offer coupled with Physical Therapy is a superior treatment to Physical Therapy alone. Also, P.T. manual therapy is not the same as Naprapathic Manual Therapy. We use different techniques. Always seriously consider why or why not you should undergo knee surgery. #Orthopedics #Surgeryhttps://t.co/wN48qbsNlo — Dr. Gil Tepper (@gilteppermd) May 21, 2018

The Importance of #Exercise and #Stretching (Relaxing the muscle really)

May 3, 2018 by Lisa T.

You spend many hours a day tying your muscles into cramped and uncomfortable positions. At work, you are sitting at a computer for eight hours or more. Many people spend a lot of time in their cars which is hard on the low back, and throughout the day you are performing the numerous activities of an active modern life. Think about all of these thousands of hours contracting and tightening your muscles. When do you relax and stretch them? When […]

What I’ve Learned Treating Functional Scoliosis

March 23, 2018 by Lisa T.

Your toned muscle holds all of your bones in proper alignment. Your muscles cannot be toned if they are injured, or contracted (tight). I’ve known that for twenty years. There is no amount of force that will align your bones without pain if your muscles are very tight/contracted. In addition, it makes no difference if your bones are aligned. What matters is that your TISSUE is aligned and strong. When that happens, your bones will follow, they’ll align and be […]

Functional Scoliosis

March 8, 2018 by Lisa T.

I was working with two clients concurrently who had functional scoliosis. One is seeing a chiropractor after I loosened all the soft tissue adhesions and the other one is seeing a Physical Therapist. After I worked on them, you could visually see how different their backs looked. They looked better and felt better because the tissue was aligned. But both of their spines moved markedly after I worked on releasing the rock hard tissue by degrees; more curvature. Now, why […]

The Stages of Inflammation and Herbal Treatment

December 14, 2017 by Lisa T.

What are the stages of the Inflammatory reaction? The inflammatory reaction is the combination of a number of overlapping reactions within the body. Although a lot of these occur simultaneously a certain order of events may be seen: 1. Tissue Injury Tissue damage may occur from trauma such as a tackle, collision or from an awkward fall. However, quite commonly tissue injury is as a result of overuse, commonly known as microtrauma. 2. Release of Chemicals When tissue cells become […]
