Inspect for Trophedema Identify Sub–clinical Radiculopathy, inspect for collagenic tissue changes in paraspinal muscles (paraspinal cellulite). Locate segmental levels with trophedema, an autonomic manifestation of radiculopathy (nerve entrapment). Tissue change is sub–clinical. [...]

Psoas muscles are the deepest muscles in your core. They attach from your 12th thoracic vertebrae to your 5th lumbar vertebrae, through your pelvis, and finally attach to your femur. They are the only [...]

The piriformis muscle rotates the femur during the hip extension and abducts the femur during flexion of the hip. The abduction of the femur is critical during walking as it shifts the body weight [...]

Tightened paraspinal muscles are responsible for radiculopathy. Tightened paraspinal muscles are responsible for radiculopathy and many functional lower back pain problems. Radiculopathy is aggravated by static loading of the spine (prolonged sitting or standing), [...]

The sacrum is a single bone comprised of five separate vertebrae that fuse during adulthood. The sacrum forms the foundation of the lower back and the pelvis. The sacrum is a concave sphenoid bone [...]

Standard Protocol (SP) is a simple, easy to-apply, non-pharmaceutical solution for treating body-wide chronic pain. Standard Protocol effectively decompresses the spine & balances the gait, treats lower [...]

Sacrum, Dermatomes & Pelvic Floor A dermatome is an area of skin mainly supplied by afferent nerve fibers from any spinal nerve’s dorsal root. Dermatomes run longitudinally along the limbs, with similar patterns [...]

Radiculopathy, also called pinched nerve, refers to conditions in which one or more nerve roots are compressed (pinched). Radiculopathy inhibits the normal transmission of nerve pulses through nerve pathways, influencing distally innervated tissues and [...]

Key Pelvic Floor Points LU7 –(LUNG) - FRONT MIDLINE Lu7 is the distal point to the upper back and strongly influences the front midline as the confluent point for [...]

Reducing Stress: Parasympathetics The key to any treatment in patients is the deregulation (or calming) of the autonomic nervous system to reduce patient hypersensitivity, relax tight muscles and release tender [...]

Reducing Stress for Pelvic Dysfunction Reducing sympathetic stress plays a crucial role in enhancing pelvic floor therapy. For therapists working with patients experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, understanding the unique [...]

MPS Pelvic Floor Pillars Five Steps for optimal STRESS & Pain reduction for Pelvic Region MPS stands for Microcurrent Point Stimulation, an approach to pain therapy that integrates [...]

Common Therapies & The Vagus Nerve Not everything we learn in school is correct. Neuro-Regulation of a patient is a KEY factor [...]

Vagus Nerve to the Rescue The only known scientific counter to sympathetic activation is our parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). If stress is the “gas” of the body, the parasympathetic [...]
