Integrative Manual Therapeutics by Bob

02/03/2026

The other day, a client asked me how my style of integrative bodywork came to be and how my practice has evolved over time.

It was a thoughtful question. I shared with them that I’ve always believed the body has this beautiful innate intelligence and knows how to heal. Sometimes it simply needs a bit of guidance, support, or realignment so it can do what it already knows how to do best.

I don’t see my work as something I do to someone, but rather as a partnership. My role is to listen carefully and communicate with what the body is asking for, or ready to release, and support that process as it unfolds.

Over the years, this practice has continued to evolve. I still believe deeply in hands-on, intuitive care, and I’ve also been grateful to bring in advanced, non-invasive technologies that are opening new possibilities for healing.

I’m looking forward to sharing more research, stories, and insights about these modalities and inviting you to explore what might best support you on your own health and wellness journey.

Oxford's memory implant restored Alzheimer's patients' memories within weeks, while US trials stalled indefinitely

British neuroscientists developed a hippocampal implant that restores memory formation in Alzheimer's patients by bypassing damaged neural pathways. Patients who couldn't remember their own families began recognizing loved ones and forming new memories within 3-4 weeks of implantation. The device doesn't cure Alzheimer's, but it dramatically improves quality of life and slows cognitive decline.

The implant works as a neural prosthetic—it records signals from healthy parts of the brain that process experiences, then electrically stimulates the memory centers to properly encode those experiences into long-term storage. Think of it as a bridge over the damaged sections of brain tissue that Alzheimer's destroys. The device uses machine learning to understand each patient's unique neural patterns and adapts its stimulation accordingly. Patients regain ability to remember recent conversations, recognize family members, and maintain independence far longer than untreated Alzheimer's progression would allow.

Oxford University Hospital has successfully implanted the device in 73 patients with remarkable results, but US trials have been suspended indefinitely due to FDA concerns about "long-term brain stimulation safety"—despite deep brain stimulation being FDA-approved for Parkinson's disease for over 20 years. The real obstacle appears to be the $78 billion Alzheimer's pharmaceutical market; a device that works for 10+ years threatens medications that generate recurring revenue. Industry lobbying has reportedly influenced regulatory delays.

For the 6.7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and their families watching them disappear mentally, this represents hope denied. British patients are getting their lives back while Americans continue the heartbreaking decline. Some families are relocating to the UK temporarily to access treatment through private healthcare, spending life savings for a procedure that should be available at home.

Should Alzheimer's patients suffer so pharmaceutical companies can protect market share, or does humanity demand better? 🧠

Contemplating the world requires a body, and a body requires an immune system: the rungs of life create the stuff of thought

Maybe that’s what we’re doing when we correct things in the brain, bones, deep nerves, lymph, organs, etc…

Turns out humans may have a seventh sense – and it’s all about touch.

A new study has discovered that we can sense objects without actually touching them, revealing a surprising form of “remote touch” never before documented in humans.

Researchers asked participants to gently move their fingers through sand to find a hidden cube. The surprising result? Participants could detect the object before their fingers made contact. Their hands picked up tiny mechanical shifts in the surrounding sand, allowing them to sense what was buried beneath the surface.

The findings show that human hands are far more sensitive than we realized, capable of perceiving minute movements in granular materials. This expands our understanding of touch, which has long been considered a strictly direct-contact sense.

Our bodies may be equipped with a subtle, previously unknown way of navigating the world – one that lets us feel objects at a distance.

Your Body Might Be Capable of More Than You Think…

So often, people come to me after being told that surgery is their only option. But in many cases, the body still holds an incredible capacity to heal itself; it just needs the right kind of support.

That’s where advanced, non-invasive therapies like Softwave Shockwave and EECP Therapy come in. Both work with the body’s natural intelligence to restore balance, improve circulation, and ease pain, without surgery, drugs, or downtime.

⚡️ Softwave Shockwave Therapy uses advanced soundwave technology to stimulate deep cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the body’s natural healing response, helping people recover from chronic pain, injury, and mobility limitations that other treatments haven’t resolved.

💓 Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive, cardiologist-recommended therapy that naturally restores circulation, strengthens heart function, and increases stamina, helping patients breathe easier, move with greater energy, and regain quality of life without surgery or medication.

The body’s ability to recover never ceases to amaze me. If you’ve been told surgery or medications are your only path forward, it might be time to explore what your body is truly capable of.

If you’re curious whether these therapies could help you, reach out to schedule a free consultation. I’m happy to answer your questions and help you explore what’s possible. www.bobshealing.com

My work isn’t really about technique, though I’ve learned many over the years. It’s about understanding the lay of the land and engaging with the inherent corrective force that moves through the body.

There are places where that force flows easily, and others where it meets resistance. My role is to listen, to dialogue with it, and to support its intelligence in finding the most elegant resolution.

This means working with every layer—the physical, emotional, and metabolic body—and recognizing the deep intelligence that formed us cell by cell. It’s never just about muscles and bones (though they often take all the blame and get all the glory).

When I’m in that connection, I don’t impose what I think should happen. Instead, I follow the body’s lead, supporting its natural process toward resolution, balance, and wholeness.

✨ The body already knows how to heal. My job is to help it remember.

I can’t describe the joy I feel when someone walks out of my office smiling, moving freely, and realizing their pain is finally gone. Every story of healing reminds me why I do this work.

For thousands of years, our ancestors have understood that true healing happens in community, through care, compassion, and connection. To me, this story is a powerful reminder and the heart of my philosophy: we are at our best when we serve others, when we lift each other up in times of difficulty, and when healing becomes something shared.

A compelling study by Frontiers in Physics revisits an astonishing possibility — that DNA is not just the molecule of heredity, but a living fractal antenna capable of receiving and transmitting electromagnetic energy.

Researchers discovered that DNA’s helical geometry enables it to resonate at multiple harmonic frequencies — from radio waves to ultraviolet light. This geometry may allow cells to communicate through resonance, exchanging information through electromagnetic fields rather than chemical signals alone.

If confirmed, this changes everything. It suggests that life operates not just through chemistry, but through coherent vibration, harmonic communication, and field intelligence — the very principles behind consciousness, healing, and energy itself.

DNA, in this view, is not only a code — it’s a receiver of the cosmic broadcast.

The wide frequency range of interaction with EMF is the functional characteristic of a fractal antenna, and DNA appears to possess the two structural characteristics of fractal antennas, electronic conduction and self symmetry. These properties contribute to greater reactivity of DNA with EMF in the...

Coming to Nevada City this winter: EECP Heart Therapy ❤️

Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive, cardiologist-recommended treatment for lasting heart health, circulation, and energy.

If you or someone you love has been living with chronic chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, or poor circulation, and medications or procedures haven’t helped, this gentle therapy may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

EECP can help with:

-Chronic chest pain (angina)
-Coronary artery disease
-Fatigue or shortness of breath
-Heart failure support
-Poor circulation and mobility issues
-Building new “natural bypass” blood vessels
-Increasing stamina and endurance

How it works: While you rest comfortably, special cuffs gently compress the legs in rhythm with your heartbeat. This process improves circulation, reduces strain on the heart, and stimulates new vessel growth, often called “natural bypasses.”

EECP is FDA-cleared, trusted by cardiologists worldwide, and has helped thousands improve daily life, like walking without pain, climbing stairs without stopping, and enjoying activities with loved ones again.

This winter, I’m excited to bring this cutting-edge therapy to Nevada City. If you’ve been searching for real answers for your heart and health, this may be the next step forward.

Curious if EECP is right for you? Visit my website to learn more or schedule a free consultation.
