My bones hurt

October 1, 2019 by Lisa T.

It’s not likely. It’s your soft tissue that is attached to your bones that hurt. It just feels like it’s your bones. What do we know about the bones? Bones have no nerve innervation meaning the nerves are a soft tissue that does not go through bone tissue. What hurts is the soft tissue (muscle, ligament, and tendon and nerve) which is the cause of almost all pain in the body. Since muscle makes up the majority of soft tissue […]

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 […]

If the PNS can heal, why not the CNS?

August 16, 2019 by Lisa T.

The PNS is the peripheral nervous system and is beholden to the muscles and the blood to heal due to the fact that the nerves innervate or GO THROUGH your muscles. The muscles and blood rule the body. It is well known, observed, and corroborated by science that the roots and branches of your nerves heal very well after trauma. Axon regeneration in the PNS The articles never give credit to the muscles and blood but there is nothing else […]

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 other […]

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 […]

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 […]
