To all my wonderful clients! Wanted to let you know that though the Governor has lifted the mask mandate for many areas, Massage Therapy is not one of them unfortunately! You will still be required to wear a face mask when receiving treatment - even if you have had your shots. Sorry for the inconvenience. Look forward to serving your massage and Neuro- Muscular Reprogramming needs as they arise!

Clients of mine.... sometimes we need more than just NMR and massage. Sometimes we need other modalities to help the body heal.... ;)

I visited Michael Koplen today at his clinic in Capitola. We exchanged work (appropriately masked of course). We were both experiencing some real exhilaration afterwards; the emotional relief of functional corrections of 'faults' long ago established in our bodies from almost 7 decades of living. Sometimes you get to thinking there are no corrections for those problems.... you become discouraged. That's because you haven't put together the right combination of techniques to give the body what it needs. Unfortunately it can't tell you directly.

Muscle testing helps the conversation. The Sherlock Holmes of NMR and a good chiropractor to figure out where you are locked down using passive ROM and great palpation skills who can tell you if structure is stuck.

One thing I know: If NMR isn't getting lasting results it's a structural problem. You need a chiropractic adjustment. Don't put it off like I did....LOL!

But structural adjustments without the NMR are like a runaway horse and cart. Mobilization without functional stability will always necessitate locking that structure up again. Repeated adjustments are relieving but not corrective. Think to the innate intelligence of the body... It's job is to keep you functional and stable. If it can't do this with mobility, it will lock you down for your own security. Sound familiar?

I am so grateful to Michael Koplen for figuring out what was wrong with the function of my right hip. Now I have 2 legs to stand on! I'll let you know how it feels after yoga tomorrow morning...

Well, looks like I will be able to re-open next week! I will send out a text as well, but know you can contact me and I'll get you on the calendar as soon as possible. If you are sick or think you have been exposed to COVID-19, please do not come in. I also need everyone to wear a face mask - unfortunately - part of the new rules! I will only be able to do 4 appointments a day - so please be patient with me! Thanks - look forward to serving you all again!

Well, here we are with another two weeks of waiting ahead of us. I am waiting to see if on the 8th of May I will get to reopen or have to wait again. In the meantime, please be safe everyone! As soon as I get the go ahead, I will text those who had appointments we had to cancel back in March and the beginning of April to get them in, then fill in from there. Note we will have to make a few changes in how I operate, but nothing drastic. Please know if you have had a fever or any symptoms of COVID-19 you need to be honest and smart and stay home. If you know you have been exposed to someone - even though you don't show any symptoms - please quarantine yourself for the 14 days until you know you are symptom free. I know - this is going to be a huge change for many of us, but to keep everyone safe...we need to be mindful of our bodies and how they are feeling! God Bless! We will talk soon!

This is why using the 2 balls technique I have shown some of you works so well!

Technique Tuesday: How Do Ligaments Cause Sciatica?

The primary role of the iliolumbar ligaments is to prevent excessive lumbar sidebending, but these ligaments can contribute to sciatic nerve entrapment when injured. A traumatic event such as a bending and twisting maneuver while attempting to lift a heavy object, may strain the iliolumbar ligaments and their multifidi neighbors. Yet, one of the lesser-appreciated areas for sciatic nerve occlusion lies beneath the anterior iliolumbar ligaments.

First discovered by famed anatomists Drs. Philip Hanson and Bill Sonesson, observe how these taut bands on the anterior surface form “fascial hoods” over the L4 and L5 nerve roots. Once the greater sciatic nerve (about the size of your pinky finger) leaves the spine, it must traverse through these taut bands.

In a nicely aligned pelvis, this usually presents no compression problems. But notice in the video how a torsioned pelvic bowl could bind the anterior iliolumbar ligaments against the right ilium causing compression of the underlying sciatic nerve roots… Please click here to see more and view a sciatica video: https://mailchi.mp/freedomfrompain/si-joint-syndrome-158702
