Seen lots of patients recently with thinking patterns that are showing up in their bodies. This kind of work involves tuning into that patient, seeing the cause and helping them through it with specific body therapy techniques, via spinal alignment, craniosacral and myofascial release work. Stay well..... Happy Hump Day!

Great seminar on gut health and joint pain tonight! Call me for more info 're this excellent research for your health.

Treated a Pediatric Cardiologist yesterday.....a rare event, n one for the books. I guess 20 yrs in clinical practice has it's merits.... And he left with significant relief so my friends let's keep up the education n quality care. One day at a time....n the paradigm shift will take place with the MDs n blinkered opinions. Xxx

Several Spinal cord compression patients have benefited from Osteo/Chiro care using mobilizing techniques to open up the restricted areas of concern. This can be a preferred alternative to medication/surgery.

The Psoas muscle (pronounced so-as) is the deepest muscle of the human body affecting our structural balance, muscular integrity, flexibility, strength, range of motion, joint mobility, and organ functioning. Growing out of both sides of the spine, the psoas spans laterally from the 12th thoracic vertebrae (T12) to each of the 5 lumbar vertebrae. From there it flows down through the abdominal core, the pelvis, to attach to the top of the femur (thigh) bone. The Psoas is the o...nly ‘muscle’ to connect the spine to the legs. It is responsible for holding us upright, and allows us to lift our legs in order to walk. A healthily functioning psoas stabilizes the spine and provides support through the trunk, forming a shelf for the vital organs of the abdominal core. The psoas is connected to the diaphragm through connective tissue or fascia which affects both our breath and fear reflex. This is because the psoas is directly linked to the reptilian brain, the most ancient interior part of the brain stem and spinal cord. As Koch writes Long before the spoken word or the organizing capacity of the cortex developed, the reptilian brain, known for its survival instincts, maintained our essential core functioning. Koch believes that our fast paced modern lifestyle (which runs on the adrenaline of our sympathetic nervous system) chronically triggers and tightens the psoas making it literally ready to run or fight. The psoas helps you to spring into action or curl you up into a protective ball. If we constantly contract the psoas to due to stress or tension , the muscle eventually begins to shorten leading to a host of painful conditions including low back pain, sacroiliac pain, sciatica, disc problems, spondylolysis, scoliosis, hip degeneration, knee pain, menstruation pain, infertility, and digestive problems. A tight psoas not only creates structural problems, it constricts the organs, puts pressure on nerves, interferes with the movement of fluids, and impairs diaphragmatic breathing. In fact, The psoas is so intimately involved in such basic physical and emotional reactions, that a chronically tightened psoas continually signals your body that you’re in danger, eventually exhausting the adrenal glands and depleting the immune system. And according to Koch, this situation is exacerbated by many things in our modern lifestyle, from car seats to constrictive clothing, from chairs to shoes that distort our posture, curtail our natural movements and further constrict our psoas. Koch believes the first step in cultivating a healthy psoas is to release unnecessary tension. But to work with the psoas is not to try to control the muscle, but to cultivate the awareness necessary for sensing its messages. This involves making a conscious choice to become somatically aware.

Had an incredible day at work! New patient from afar, with shoulder and Tx pain, she says from immobility as a result of a stroke induced by a feeding tube error during hospitalization. Lovely lady, in rough shape. Examination findings: total shoulder dislocation, which the physios missed for 18mts!! Classic cause: Seizure post stroke causing shoulder dislocation. I did adjust her Tx and did fascial release work with much relieve to her little frame. But alas, the shoulder will need orthopaedic intervention. My Chiro buds...Dr. Peterson would have loved this case!! :)
