How To Give A Safe Spinal Massage
Although I occasionally use my therapeutic low level laser when going through the procedures I just posted to youtube.com, these spinal neuromusculoskeletal re-education procedures work extremely well on their own. With chronic cases, it takes repeated attempts, two or three times per week will speed things up. Improvement in neck and back pain, with related headaches and such, is felt immediately, and improves with each week, peaking out within 4 weeks, on average.
I made this video, (split into two parts for youtube.com,) about 5 years ago. I was 15 pounds heavier then, but that’s another story.
In this video, I give you the culmination of what I know about removing muscle memory passively, which involves millions upon millions of sensors reporting to your cerebellum. This is so important, you may not realize it, but muscle memory is exactly what brings people to me eventually, and it is exactly what helps Tiger Woods hit that golf ball so well. Muscle memory. Sometimes that “memory” is guarding against some spinal injury that happened as a child, teenager, or adult. Depending on how “reactive” a patients’ muscles are, the areas of stress can distort the spine. This results in compensations, mostly above, in the spine. Defense networks start forming in those compensatory areas, becoming stiff, irritated, and because of faulty bio-mechanics over many years, arthritic and degenerative. Joints can wear out unevenly, like tires that are out of alignment. This can result in irratic nerve impulses, which have become distorted because of local joint irritation, inflammation, and dysfunction. These all contribute to misalignment, subluxation, etc…
You have an answer here to the above problems. Is it the whole answer? No. Is it a big answer? Yes.
Enjoy!
