🧠✋ Help Us Complete Groundbreaking Reflexology Research!

We're in the final stretch of our Neural Pathways of Applied Reflexology research project, and we need your support to cross the finish line! This pioneering study is exploring the scientific foundation of reflexology through advanced brain imaging.

💰 TWO WAYS TO SUPPORT:

🔗 LINK 1: [SCANNING TIME FUND] https://www.unmfund.org/fund/npar-fund/
This tax-deductible donation goes directly to cover our scanning time at the University of Minnesota. Every dollar helps us gather the crucial data we need to complete this research.

🔗 LINK 2: [RESEARCHER SUPPORT FUND]
https://www.paypal.biz/KevinKunz837
This fund (not tax-deductible) goes directly to compensate our dedicated researchers, including Barbara and Kevin Kunz, along with our brilliant data analyst. These incredible individuals have volunteered their expertise for 5 YEARS without compensation – in fact, the Kunzes have contributed their own personal funds to keep this vital research moving forward.

This research has the potential to transform how we understand reflexology and its effects on the nervous system. Your support – whether $10 or $100 – brings us closer to scientific validation that could benefit millions.

🚀 Help Us Cross the Finish Line!

Groundbreaking fMRI scans at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine are showing how reflexology lights up the brain in powerful and unexpected ways.

We’re proving that touch on the feet doesn’t just feel good—it activates deep brain networks linked to healing, recovery, and neuroplasticity. Stroke patients in our study even showed measurable improvements.

Now we need YOUR help to finish what we started:
✨ Buy more time on the fMRI scanner → UNM Fund Link. https://www.unmfund.org/fund/npar-fund/

✨ Support the data analysis team → PayPal Link https://www.paypal.biz/KevinKunz837

Every dollar, pound, euro, and peso counts. Let’s make reflexology history together. 🌍💡

Comparing fat cells 🤓latest research

A new study strengthens the growing focus on the Deep Adipose Tissue (DAT) layer—situated in the deeper part of the subcutaneous connective tissue and distinct from the Superficial Adipose Tissue—as a frequent source of myofascial pain dysfunctions. For manual therapists, this adds further support to the assumption that techniques involving shear or cupping-like traction may be more effective than relying solely on vertical pressure.

I regularly see people with a winged scapula. Here is some great info for you. 😃

🔥 Winged Scapula – “The Floating Shoulder Blade”

💥 A striking sign where the shoulder blade juts out like a wing — often unnoticed until weakness or injury affects your movement!

📜 Name Origin & History
The term “Winged Scapula” comes from the visual resemblance of the scapula (shoulder blade) sticking out from the back like a bird’s wing.
First described in medical literature in the 19th century, commonly linked to injury of the long thoracic nerve affecting the serratus anterior muscle.

⚠️ Causes
💧 Long thoracic nerve injury (most common)
💧 Serratus anterior muscle weakness or paralysis
💧 Brachial plexus injury
💧 Direct trauma to shoulder/back
💧 Neurological conditions (e.g., poliomyelitis, muscular dystrophy)
💧 Post-surgical complication (e.g., mastectomy, lymph node removal)

🗂️ Signs & Symptoms
🩸 Visible protrusion of the scapula from the thoracic wall
🩸 Shoulder instability
🩸 Weakness when pushing against resistance
🩸 Limited shoulder flexion and abduction
🩸 Pain or discomfort in shoulder/back area

🩺 Physical Assessment & Examination⤵️

1️⃣ Wall Push-Up Test – Increased winging when pushing against a wall
2️⃣ Scapular Observation – Compare both sides during shoulder movement
3️⃣ Manual Muscle Testing – Assess serratus anterior strength
4️⃣ Neurological Exam – To check nerve involvement

🩻 Radiologic Findings⤵️
📌 X-ray – Usually normal (used to rule out fractures or deformities)
📌 MRI – May reveal muscle atrophy or nerve injury
📌 EMG/Nerve Conduction Study – Confirms long thoracic nerve damage

⭕ Conservative Treatment ⤵️

✅ Pain management (NSAIDs if needed)
✅ Activity modification to avoid aggravating movements
✅ Orthotic bracing (scapular stabilizing braces)

🧘‍♀️ Physiotherapy Management⤵️

🏅 Strengthening of serratus anterior (e.g., wall slides, dynamic hugs)
🏅 Scapular stabilization drills
🏅 Postural correction exercises
🏅 Stretching of tight pectoralis minor & levator scapulae
🏅 Neuromuscular re-education
🏅 Taping for scapular positioning support

🏠 Home Advice⤵️

✅ Continue prescribed exercises daily
✅ Avoid heavy lifting overhead until strength returns
✅ Maintain good posture at desk/work
✅ Use a mirror to monitor scapular movement
✅ Apply warm compress for tightness relief
