What’s In There?
by Lisa T.
I get that question a lot from patients when they can feel their muscle adhesion roll around like a marble, it’s tender, or it’s making noise. The contracted muscle tissue is quite noisy; as noisy as your joint adjusting (cracking). This is when the patient on the table needs to calm their imagination. It’s not a tumor, a bug, a parasite, or some kind of monster. It’s your flesh. Your flesh is muscle and blood so your muscle knots (adhesions) […]

Considering Knee Surgery?
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

What I’ve Learned Treating Functional Scoliosis
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 […]

What is the difference between Manual Therapy and Massage Therapy?
by Lisa T.
The level of education. Professional Manual Therapists are trained in either Naprapathic, Osteopathic, Physical Therapy or Sports Therapy tradition. I am trained to be a Naprapathic Doctor but it is only licensed in two or three states in the U.S. so I and my peers in Michigan are left to linger under a medical massage license given to massage therapists who have only 500 hours of training. I have 2400 hours of training and 17 years of experience but there […]

Click here to purchase it on Amazon “Healer” is part memoir pertaining to the first half of my life and part instruction manual.

Soft Tissue Focus
by Lisa T.
I want to make something perfectly clear from an anatomical, factual basis. The first line of treatment in musculoskeletal trauma and disorder is THE SOFT TISSUE. The soft tissue is muscle, ligament, tendon, and nerve. What feeds all of your plethora of soft tissue is the blood. Moving the blood with your skin INTACT, not cut, is ideal. There is no front line of treatment that is appropriate for the bones. It makes no sense whatsoever to treat the bones first […]
