Re: Steroid Injections/Rolfing

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the feedback. My insurance does not cover acupuncture and,

given the number of visits that would be needed and the fact that the

relief is temporary, I have pretty much shelved the idea.

I have not looked into Rolphing mostly because I have no idea what the

heck it is (gotta Google it . . .)!

Myo Fascial physical therapy is covered under insurance and is a type or

Rolphing placing a negative resistance against another to release spasm. My

therapist has broken up muscle knots which are adhesions or trapped lactic acid

that accumulates from body response to pain in deep spasm.

Myofascial (trigger point) massage :

My physical Therapists hand is actually warm when she removes it from the area

you released and it is amazing.

physical therapist uses these and I also do these.

My physical therapist uses this as a technique but is not fanatical and only

uses a certain method (i.e. myofascial release).

You Tube has videos showing these techniques and are great examples. It has

worked for me and I have heard my Sacral Iliac joint being put back in place and

it is such a great relief.

I like these because you can do them yourself in a home program. Rolphing has

been around for years and used to increase motility in the colon and in the 60's

all the hippies used it lol ! I remember sitting a metal universal weight and

placing on my abdomen to cause negative resistance. Light up the insence and

do the ummmmmm mantra Bennie
