A massive amount of research is emerging that validates the principles of my Myofascial Release approach.  I am going to paraphrase some important information from a new book, “Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance” written by James L. Oschman, Ph.D.

“A dramatic discovery reveals that there is actually no such thing as a disease.  Medicine’s disease model has simply run its course.  Like horseshoes and the bustle, it is a paradigm soon to be replaced.”

Traditional medicine looks at symptoms, gives it a label and only treats symptoms.  Symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg!  The medical approach is to drug patients so they temporarily are free from pain, but it does nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure that is causing the pain.  Traditional physical, occupational and massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and other forms of therapy only treat the symptoms caused by the “straightjacket” of pressure that causes and perpetuates the symptoms.  This is why so many patients have only temporary results never seeming to get better with traditional therapy.

Science has now discovered what I have been teaching for over 30 years, i.e., symptoms, diagnostic labels, and diseases are a blockage of our bio-energy caused by a prolonged inflammatory response.  Trauma and the resultant inflammation response create Myofascial restrictions that ultimately create the symptoms of pain and disease processes.

“The results of inflammatory responses that have outlived their usefulness are labeled: chronic pain, headaches, restriction of motion, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, bowel and menstrual disorders, cancer and the list goes on and on.  There is no such thing as disease!”  Myofascial Release allows the chronic inflammatory response to revolve and eradicates the enormous pressure exerted on pain sensitive structures by myofascial restrictions to alleviate symptoms and to allow the body’s natural healing capacity to function properly.

Myofascial Release views symptoms as only the “tip of the iceberg.”  In other words, symptoms are effects of a much deeper cause.  Traditional physicians and therapists only treat effects.  The Myofascial therapist treats the entire cause and effect relationship.
