I'm always excited to see new methods being developed to avoid surgeries.

Japan has unveiled the world’s first proven stem‑cell therapy for spinal injuries, enabling a paralyzed patient to regain mobility. The groundbreaking treatment uses stem cells to repair damaged spinal tissue, restore nerve connections, and stimulate neural regeneration, offering new hope for individuals with paralysis.

In early clinical application, the therapy demonstrated remarkable success, allowing the patient to regain voluntary movement and improved motor function. Researchers attribute these results to the stem cells’ ability to integrate with damaged tissue, promote repair, and reduce inflammation, ultimately supporting recovery that was previously considered impossible.

Experts caution that while the breakthrough is extraordinary, wider clinical trials are needed to confirm long‑term safety, efficacy, and applicability to different types of spinal injuries. The procedure also requires specialized facilities, skilled practitioners, and careful patient monitoring to achieve optimal outcomes.

This milestone underscores the transformative potential of regenerative medicine. Stem‑cell therapies may redefine the future of spinal injury treatment, offering patients renewed independence, enhanced quality of life, and the promise of recovery from conditions once deemed permanent. Continued research will likely expand applications and inspire new approaches to nerve and tissue regeneration.

Fascia is such an important system in our body. This is a good read below.

The Fascia Speaks

As bodyworkers, we touch a system far more intelligent and responsive than most people realize. It is a living memory field, a sensory fabric that holds the echoes of every emotional contraction, every bracing pattern, and every unspoken moment the nervous system didn’t know how to resolve.

We explore these imprints every day. We feel the places where the tissue thickened in response to a moment of fear, the areas where breath stopped during heartbreak, or the subtle density of someone carrying a responsibility too heavy for their age. These are not just restrictions. They are records.

Science is beginning to describe what practitioners have long sensed with their hands. Fascia is densely woven with interoceptors, proprioceptors, mechanoreceptors, and nociceptors, creating one of the most information-rich sensory networks in the body. These receptors do not just relay physical sensations; they respond to emotional states, autonomic shifts, and subtle changes in internal chemistry. When someone is afraid, lonely, overworked, grieving, or carrying unresolved tension, fascia receives that information before the conscious mind can interpret it.

Over time, these repeated emotional signals alter the collagen matrix itself. The ground substance thickens. Elasticity decreases. Glide diminishes. The tissue becomes a physical representation of an emotional history. What began as a moment of bracing becomes a pattern. Eventually, the pattern becomes posture, and posture becomes identity. This is how fascia stores emotional imprints that influence how a person walks, rests, reacts, and protects themselves. What clients feel as stiffness is often the residue of old vigilance. What they call tightness is often the body’s attempt to hold a story that never had a chance to be expressed.

When we work with fascia, we are not simply lengthening tissue or improving mobility. We are entering the emotional architecture of a person’s life. Gentle compression rehydrates the ground substance and makes the dense places permeable again. Slow stretching reorganizes collagen fibers that have been shaped by years of guarding. Pacinian and Ruffini receptors detect the warmth of our touch and signal safety along the vagus nerve. Interoceptors begin to update the brain’s perception of the body, allowing long-muted emotional signals to come into conscious awareness. As the layers soften, the nervous system begins to trust, and trust is the first doorway to release.

This is why clients often experience tears, trembling, laughter, heat, or a sudden memory during a session. The fascia is not only releasing; it is reorganizing the information it once held tightly. Electrical coherence returns. Circulation improves. Sensory accuracy sharpens. The body stops running old protective commands and starts rewriting its operating system. What once felt like a lifelong pattern begins to dissolve in the warmth of contact and presence.

Fascia is a sensory intelligence that interprets experience. The mind does not lead this process. It follows it. The mind interprets what the fascia feels and explains it long after the body has already changed. When we help clients reconnect to their fascial landscape, we are guiding them back to the body’s original language, the language beneath thought, beneath story, beneath habit—the language of emotional truth.

We, the ones who listen in silence, can hear what the fascia has carried through lineage, memory, and time.

Arthritis of all types is debilitating. In America it is more and more prevalent and it is our toxic environment.
I am going to be deep diving into ways to understand and balance our system.
Stay tuned!

Before every client, these stones and I hold a small ceremony. You see, these stones are not your typical ceramic massage stones....These are petrified volcanic lava rock and story has it, they have been on this earth long before us! Giving their "age", one might consider them the age of grandfather/grandmother 🥰. The stones are knowledge carriers, the medicine carriers and this is what I count on for guidance and discovery for each individual's need. I am grateful for their presence in my career. And I am grateful for all of you!
