When Pain Interrupts Your Life

Dean Soupal — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:26:50 +0000

“At the time of my shoulder injury, I was owner of eight Subway restaurants. I became unable to move my arm which greatly interfered with my ability to do my job well. After 8 years of therapy sessions which brought few results, I had a session with Dean. After just this one session with Dean I regained complete use of my arm. The myofascial technique brings recovery – Dean’s a miracle worker!”

The Problem Bottom-Lined:

Because of recently published medical studies, health professionals are beginning to understand the importance and the role of the fascia system, an entire physiological system profoundly influencing all other structures and systems of the body.

Trauma and inflammatory responses are the myofascial restrictions that are capable of producing tensile pressures of up to 2000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures. These restrictions do not show up on any standardized tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, etc.) This enormous pressure acts like a “straight jacket” in muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and osseous structures, producing the symptoms of pain, headaches and restriction of motion.

Medications, traditional therapies treat the symptoms caused by the pressure of the “straightjacket” of the myofascial system, but do nothing about the “straightjacket” of pressure that causes and perpetuates the problem.

Walter E. Liskiewicz’s Story

Dean Soupal — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:47:01 +0000

Walter E. Liskiewicz D.D.S., M.S.
Board certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Diplomat of the American Association of Maxillofacial Surgery

To whom it may concern;

As an oral surgeon, I treated many patients with a variety of complaints, including chronic pain, muscle spasms, and limited range of motion of the TMJ.

When Parkinsons’s Disease forced me to retire from my profession in the early 90’s, I found my entire body suffered from similar symptoms. Over the fourteen years I’ve had Parkinson’s, I have experienced muscle spasms, lack of mobility and difficulty walking. Many of the muscle spasms made me reach a point of intense pain. Dean was recommended to me by a friend who thought he might be able to help. I began a course of therapy with Dean one year ago.

Dean’s myofascial release therapy has helped tremendously to relieve my muscle spasms and provide me with increased comfort and range of motion. He has also taught me several techniques which have helped me with stress reduction. After one of Dean’s sessions, I always have a sense of well-being and relaxation. Dean’s program is part of my overall treatment regime to keep me functional and happy.

I consider Dean to be a true professional, and someone who understands the mind/body complex. He is kind and compassionate, and I am honored to be one of his regular clients.

A congenital birth defect created structural problems which, over time, led to problems with the muscles in my back and legs. As pain literally prevented me from walking across a small room, I tearfully recalled the doctor’s words: “you may never get any better.” Eventually I met Dean and began to experience the freedom from daily pain his unique technique brings. Along with the treatment, Dean has helped me understand why, structurally, I experience different problems. I’ve never heard the words, “you’ll never get better” from Dean, and I know I walk today because of his special techniques. He is a gifted healer.
