Did you know? A study presented at the Third International Fascia Research Congress found that targeting areas of mechanoreceptor densities improved therapeutic outcomes. Where are these densities-the periosteum, ligaments, tendons and retinaculi. 💡

Substance P -a neuropeptide that is released when we stimulate nociceptors, signals macrophages to shift from inflammation (M1) to repair (M2), a key step in the healing process. 🔄

The impact of old injuries!

All too often it is something from the top of the list that is causing something on the bottom of the list.

At RAPID we look at our patient’s first known injury and everything in between to try to figure out when their brain took a few dysfunctional memory snapshots which now can distort their body into an angry mess if they sleep or sit wrong.

Recently a student told me that a lot of her clients were waking up with painful necks-her comment was “people aren’t getting injured sleeping are they?”

Of course they are not but their brain has a good memory and if they stay just a hair too long in an awkward position their brain will take them right back to that kink in their neck from when they fell out of that tree at an early age.

Our job as therapists is to simply reassure the brain of its safety and reset the system to quickly undue those nasty memory snapshots.

You clients pain has little to do with degeneration and damage but lots to do with the sensitization of their nervous system. Knowing how to desensitize, diffuse, and reset the system is the fastest way to reduce pain. This is RAPID!

Pain decreases when the brain senses less danger and more safety.
