Energetic Balancing Total Body
Kerry D'Ambrogio, DOM, AP,PT,DO-MTPCurriculums:
Energy Medicine perspective refers to subtle forces frequently described as a vital force or life force that flows through the body. Since all matter and psychological processes ( thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and consciousness) are composed of energy, the physical body, therefore, the manifestation or representation of an energy field made of dynamic segments of vibration. Total Energetic Body Balancing bridges the gap between traditional bodywork and energy medicine.
Effect of visceral manipulation on pain, mobility and functional disability in subjects with right shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis
Aarti Ghillodia and Balaji Karunanithi GandhiCurriculums:
This research article explores the effect of organ specific visceral manipulation on adhesive capsulitis, in subjects with right shoulder capsulitis. Visceral manipulation of liver has shown to increase right shoulder or called frozen shoulder. It seems to peak at the age of 56 yrs. It is believed that inflammation in the rotator interval, results in painful motion and subsequent fibrosis, and stiffness that limits movements.
Visceral Manipulation of liver has shown to increases in right shoulder range of motions. Adhesive Capsulitis is a common painful and debilitating condition .
Redefining Covid-19: Months after infection, patients report breathing difficulty, excessive fatigue
Ryan PriorCurriculums:
Did you know that many Covid-19 patients may develop Dysautonomia after they contract the virus?
The Dysautonomia Project (TDP- non-profit group) advocates that CranioSacral Therapy/Manual Therapy is one of the top 10 non-pharmacological treatments for this disorder.
This article discusses how dysautonomia may be lingering symptom from Covid-19.
It's been 5 months since Lucy Gahan contracted Covid-19 and her life still hasn't turned back to normal. The disease causes what she calls "STORMS" disabling periods when she feels shortness of breath, numbness in her hands and feet and her heart rate shoots up from simple task. Many hospitalized Covid patients are at risk to become long haulers
Cerebrospinal Fluid "What is it and Where to Find it"
John E Upledger, D.O., O.M.M.Curriculums:
The brain is about 80% water and 20% of the water is extracellular. The cranial system also contains blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. Each of these fluids serves as very specific functions of the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid serves as a shock absorber in head "jolts". It also serves as a vehicle to transfer hormones and peptides of all kinds.
Fascia Focused Manual Therapy Interventions-Proposed Treatment for Post-COVID Syndrome
John SharkeyCurriculums:
The Covid Virus has surpassed 57 million globally and numbers are exponentially increasing weekly.
Based on current research this short report proposes that appropriate actions are being taken with the fascia focused manual and movement therapy interventions will assist patients experiencing on-going related pain and a wide range of functional issues.
Case Report: Manual therapies promote resolution of persistent post-concussion symptoms in a 24- year- old athlete
Susan Vaghn KratzCurriculums:
This case report illustrates treatment outcomes of athletes with an 18 month history of post concussion syndrome who received a series of mixed therapies. they had persistant symptoms that were debilitating from school work and leisure activities.
The Vagus Nerve and Our Digestive Tract
Lorilynn Dowiak, PTCurriculums:
It is clear that our digestive system is dependent upon the healthy vagal tone.
Visceral manipulation of the organs of the digestive system stimulates the environment surrounding the organs. Gentle yet specific techniques mobilize the wall of the digestive tract also stimulating the nerve receptors in these muscles.
This article focuses on how the vagus nerve impacts our digestive system with massage therapy and visceral manipulation.
The State of Affairs-Alzheimer's Research
Michael Morgan, LMT, CST-DCurriculums:
When it comes to Alzheimer's research there are some interesting facts to consider.
In the past 10 years, there have been some exciting discoveries in the field of neurology and brain science. Dr. John Upledger researched and pointed out the role of cerebral spinal fluid as it circulates throughout the body.
As we age there are so many different factors that can cause Alzheimer's.
Reading this article will help explain all of the factors and research.
The Pathway to Healing The Importance of Treating the Lymphatic System ( for the Orthopedic Patient)
Kerry D'Ambrogio, DOM, AP,PT,DO-MTP JACK RYAN, LMT, CNMT, TBB-TCurriculums:
How does the body heal after an injury? Trauma and Injury affect multiple body systems.
For health, homeostasis, and healing, all tissues need unobstructed inflow supply and unobstructed outflow return of all vital structures(nerves, arteries, veins, and lymphatic system). Another key factor for tissue healing is that there must be a balanced nerve flow or nerve conduction to/from the tissues, brain, and spinal cord.
Post Covid -19 Syndrome
Robert J Hedaya MD, DLFAPA,ABPN,CFMCurriculums:
Some people more women than men are experiencing from acute Covid-19 illness.
The symptoms are similar to Dysautonomia, chronic fatigue syndrome, severe fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, rapid heart rate, and inflammation. There are so many different illnesses Dr's are upside down on the Post Covid-19 Syndrome.
Did you know that many Covid-19 patients may develop Dysautonomia after they contract the virus?
This article discusses how Dysautonomia may be lingering symptom from Covid-19.
