Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hello snofyre!! Sorry it took so long to answer, I was in Indanaplois this weekend teaching a course and have gotten a few days behind on my e-mails. The techniques: Muscle Energy, Counterstrain and EFT are the best ways to find and correct all the causes of the tight tense muscles in the body, no matter where they are..period!!!! EVEN IN THE PELVIC FLOOR!!!!And, I'm not just talking about improving..I am talking about cure!! Traditional trigger point therapy is painful but counterstrain is painless. Even PTs with advanced PF experience are likely to have no clue about MET, Counterstrain and EFT...I intend to change this. Drugs and surgery are an absolute last resort and represent a darn shame that the patient did not find a practitioner who is expert in the above mentioned techniques. K.

Subject: RE: VPD and tissues issues (Chronic Myofascial Pain ) and Treatment Options From: Snofyre Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2007 22:03:30 -0700 (PDT) To: ihcs@... To: ihcs@... Greetings Tom I understand your reponse re: the benefits of MFR, if... there adhesions in the PF tissue. I have been told I do have them and vasoconstriction, as a result. That being said, if MFR cannot help get to the core issues of CMP, the issue still remains:----> how can a CMP client aid in helping promote softening, relaxing and lengthening of the tissues/muscles that have shortened and hardened over time? I know from researching this for a over a year, that there are varying professional opinions as to improving the musc/skeletal system of a person affected by CMP. But universally the message is: Do NOT become inactive, thus worsening the condition. Help your body help itself, physically. The problem lies in then, choosing which specialist to listen to (each has his/her own school of thinking) - and eventually, which treatment to try? Additionally, PTs who have not had training in CMP, run the risk of making the situation worse (inadvertently) by giving the same treatment to CMP clients as they do with clients( who do not have the muscular skeletal conditions of CMP)........................ i.e. (strengthening first. without initiating softening of the hardened muscles..etc.) Trigger Point therapy may have some short term benefits but again, may end up creating more damage in the long run. That being said, what is your opinion as to what type of PT or body work then, can help the client affected by CMP - improve (NOT CURE).. his/her muscular/skeletal condition? Do you feel that injuries such as whiplashes and concussions, can cause permanent damage that is irreversible and may worsen with time? Or that surgery is sometimes necessary to improve one's condition? Or..... that if one has CMP, there is really nothing that can be done to improve the quality of their muscular skeletal status? Thanks again Snofyre00@... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MFR has a limited use in the long term cure for these disorder unless there is an adhesion that is attached to the tissues in the PF in which case it may be a huge help. It can be helpful in the short term overall management. It won't hurt to try. TKO ****************** snofyre00 wrote: Any comments on myofascial release therapy for the following?
