I don't know what sort of hands-on work you had, but if it wasn't sensitive to any changes produced in you AND/OR if it wasn't what your particular brain needed in that moment in that context, then it was pointless if not counterproductive. Hands-on should be a service to a patient's brain/nervous system, not create more stress for it; there are some kinds of pain manifestations, some nervous systems so sensitized that hands-on treatment is definitely not a good first choice. <BR/>DianeDiane Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356363026969420734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833773585855109367.post-16791055319577580362007-12-29T22:37:00.000-08:002007-12-29T22:37:00.000-08:00Thanks Matthias and DianeI wish I had more knowled...Thanks Matthias and Diane<BR/>I wish I had more knowledge and could understand better about what you do. I've found that for me recovery is about what I can do for myself and not what can be done for me. This seems to be what you are saying Diane. In the past I've found hands on physical therapy unhelpful. The idea of becoming aware of what hurts and adjusting to relieve the hurt and being aware of self makes sense. It seems also that your method where the patient is engaged in the healing empowers the patient to help themselves. <BR/>jeiseajeiseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014643458189789888noreply@blogger.com
