Fascial Pain Solutions

So many things contribute to our ability to stay upright - vision, the vestibular (inner ear) system, muscle balance, proprioception, and structural integrity. Ever tried this move? Close your eyes, stand heel to toe with zombie arms. Are you working hard to stay upright? Did you lose it and step out?

Marisa is beginning a new nervous system training which will help balance and turn on weaker systems that the body may be struggling with. New stuff coming soon!

I've seen it twice now in a decade. A torn quadricep that was not treated at the time of injury. Both times, they could tell me exactly what happened and that they heard/felt the pop. They waited, the leg 'healed'. Now there's a rolled up little ball of muscle that lives in the leg, and a gentle dip in the leg where fullness of the muscle used to be.

I'm careful not to overstep my scope of practice, so I can't diagnose anything. I explained the only way to tell for sure what's going on is with a scan. Neither client felt the need to investigate further. Good news? There are 4 muscle bellies...if you lose one, there is usually enough still there to avoid complete dysfunction..However, what's left has to work harder and may contribute to pain/compensation.

There's no such thing as TMI. Bring it in. We'll see what happens. I'm kinda ridiculous...you can be too

Just got back from the first of 4 Brain classes I will be taking the next few years! It was pretty neat to see how balancing brain structures and fluid can calm the nervous system and improve pain ☺️ Stay tuned as we play with the techniques and figure out how it best fits into the biz!

Being a forever student is important for me to continue bringing you guys the best therapies.

I'm currently at a class where we are learning to palpate the 'silent waves' of the lymphatic system. Moving fluid with your body's natural rhythm. It's day 2 of 4 and our pains are starting to melt away. Really cool stuff I'm bringing home for you all!!

Come as you are. We'll celebrate. Or you can just scream.

I survived my infusion and now I'm on four days of rest. I REALLY hope that's enough because I'm booking fast for May and won't have nearly the availability ya'll are used to. There are three appointments left before May 15th and my usual emergency appointments are also booked already. So please plan ahead!

Also, due to this infusion killing my immune system, I'll be wearing a mask during treatments for the foreseeable future 😆 You all don't have to, but don't be surprised when ya see me!

Releasing your jaw may be the key to finally reducing that stubborn neck. Even if your jaw doesn't hurt, it could be tied into a holding pattern your body has developed to combat stress, trauma, or even just instability. It also works the other way around. The neck needs to free itself so your face and jaw can experience relief.

You can say it's not that's serious, but things are tangled.
