Myopathic Therapy

How does it do that?

We are in agreement that normal health depends on normal body structure. Pain is caused from inflammation. Inflammation is caused from disturbances in blood and nerve supply to a specific area. All blood supply and nerve supply travels through muscle tissue, muscle tissue is the only tissue in the body that can become tense or retain tension. Therefore, it seems reasonable to believe that residual tension (tension above normal) residing in muscle tissue, interferes with normal blood, and nerve supply, causing inflammation and symptoms of pain.

So, what is the solution? Restore normal blood and nerve supply and the inflammation and symptoms of pain will disappear. All we are doing is reducing residual tension.

How long does it take and what else is involved?

Muscle tissue has memory. This memory has to be changed to regain normal blood and nerve supply and restore elasticity and function. The length of time depends on:

1. Age
2. Length of time symptom of pain has been present
3. Proper nutrition
4. Proper exercise
5. Medications currently taken
6. Deterioration of organs and tissues from the medication
7. Surgery
8. Other factors

What kind of techniques do you use?

The techniques used include specific muscular manipulation, range of motion, and joint mobilization. Basically, the technique addresses the large belly of the muscle as well as lengthening and shortening of the muscles.

Causes of progressive and residual tension in muscle tissue

1. Stress
2. Repetitive motion
3. Imbalance in muscle tissue
4. Lack of exorcise and/or inactivity
5. Personal injury
6. Automobile and/or other accidents
7. Surgery
8. Cold temperatures
9. Other factors
