When it comes to muscle and all soft tissue health (tendon, ligament and nerves), lesson 101 that cannot be avoided if you’re serious about holistic health, is muscle strengthening. It comes before cardio. You need 15 to 30 minutes of cardio daily but you need strengthening more. I love it. 🤩😍 I can coach you anywhere in the world via zoom. Same fee as my manual therapy fee listed on the homepage of this blog. I use Petsanis technique. You […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
