Spastic Hemiplegia
No movement for 2 years.
But today, in just 30 minutes, using coherency tools, we got his arm to move.
The first thing Mpho said was - my brain and hand are connected.
I am so grateful for the work that I do 🙏

New hope for Dupuytren's Patients
For almost 3 decades I have told patients that there is not much a Hand Therapist can do about Dupuytren's Disease. They should wait until the fail the 'Table Top Test' and then they will go and have surgery.
This past month, my patient and I decided to try something different.
We decided to use Physics-Based Medicine to make the hand feel less tight, less painful and more mobile.
We were successful.
It is time that we started to change our ideas about what is possible and what is not.
With the right tools - anything is possible.
This detailed video shows you exactly what I did. Listen carefully for the patients comments and feedback.

Healing Happens Beyond the Scan

For years, intuition has guided us toward truths that science is only now beginning to validate.
“Science is beginning to catch up to what many have intuited:
true healing often occurs in systems no MRI can scan and no surgeon can cut.”
– Robyn Midgley
Biofield medicine, frequency therapy, and energy healing were once dismissed as fringe.
Now, they’re being studied, validated, and—more importantly—experienced.
Because health isn’t only physical.
It’s electrical. Emotional. Energetic.
When we treat the whole system, the results often speak louder than the skeptics ever could.

🧠 Pain Is Not Just Mechanical

So many treatment plans fail—not because we lack tools,
but because we limit the lens.
“When we treat pain as merely mechanical, we risk overlooking the silent emotional wounds stored in the body’s energetic architecture.”
– Robyn Midgley

We are not just anatomy.
We are history.
We are emotion.
We are energy.
Pain doesn’t always come from posture or pressure.
It often emerges from stories the body hasn’t been able to release.
To truly help our patients, we must treat the whole person—not just the parts we were taught to name.

🧠 Pain Speaks from More Than Just Tissue

Most therapists are trained to assess the physical.
Tendons, joints, nerves, muscles.
But what happens when the pain doesn’t make sense?
When the scans are clean, but the patient still suffers?

“Pain does not begin and end in the tissues.
It often speaks from the Biofield, from emotion, from memory.
To ignore this is to treat only a fraction of the human experience.”
– Robyn Midgley

Pain is not just mechanical.
It’s often emotional. Energetic. Layered.
When we listen beyond the physical,
We don’t just reduce symptoms—we support real, sustainable healing.

đź’« Healing Lives Beyond the Visible
We’ve been trained to treat pain at the surface.
To isolate it to muscles, nerves, or joints.
But healing is rarely that linear.

“Some of the most profound healing happens in places no scalpel can reach—
beyond muscles, beyond nerves, and deep into the human story.”
– Robyn Midgley

In every session, I’m reminded:
It’s not just about what we can touch—
It’s about what we’re willing to see.
The biofield holds emotion, memory, trauma.
And when we work there, the body often responds in ways that defy logic but not truth.
This is the future of therapy.
And it’s already here.

💥 Growth Doesn’t Live in Compliance

The moment you challenge the status quo…
You’ll ruffle feathers.
But that’s not a bad thing.
“If you’re pi***ng people off, that’s good—it's making them think.”
– Dr Jack Kruse
The medical world trains us to comply.
To stay in our lane.
To keep within “evidence-based” lines that often ignore the full human experience.
But growth doesn’t happen inside narrow boxes.
It happens when we dare to question what we’re told... and follow what we see working.
Healing is not always linear.
And neither is truth.
So yes—what we do may stir the pot.
But we’d rather be disruptive… than asleep.

🕰️ Money Can Be Replaced. Time Can’t.

Modern life promises convenience.
But what it takes in return is your time.
Your energy.
Your freedom.
We’ve replaced sunlight with screens,
movement with machines,
and natural rhythms with non-stop hustle.
Then we wonder why we feel sick, burnt out, or like we’re always chasing time.
“Don’t just be lucky in money, be lucky in time—because then you’re a savage.”
– Dr Jack Kruse
Health is how we reclaim time.
And nature is the original blueprint.
Let’s live wiser, not just longer.

Grip strength measures muscular strength or the maximum force/tension generated by forearm muscles and is used as a screening tool for measurement of upper body overall strength. Research indicates that grip strength in midlife can predict physical disability in senior years.

Working alongside brilliant colleagues is one of the greatest gifts in our profession — and I’m especially excited to share this next milestone. Paula Simaro and I have co-authored a paper titled: Casting Motion to Mobilize Stiffness (CMMS) Technique for the Treatment of Thumb Interphalangeal Joint Stiffness: A Case Series Report. This work brings together our clinical experience, shared curiosity, and deep commitment to advancing treatment options for one of the most challenging joints in the hand. In this upcoming publication, we’ll be presenting:
Documented cast designs for the thumb
Refined clinical concepts
Practical insights for treating complex thumb stiffness.
We can’t wait to share these developments with the hand therapy and surgical community. Innovating is always meaningful — but doing it in collaboration makes it even better.
