After feeling the pulse sensation in my finger tips, it felt

like 'something' was all over the place inside the knee, and the

pulsing was very irregular, but the longer I held it, the more

rhythmical it became. Until it finally felt balanced. ... I still

use this procedure on it when it starts in hurting. And since that

time the area that runs down the anterior side of the tibia was

sore....not anymore since doing that to my knee.

I've been trying the new procedures you've mentioned too-with good

results. One time it felt like my hands had electric currents with a

warm sensation run up as far as the lower forearm.

I've used the x-technique on other joints as well-with great

results.

I'm still amazed this works!!

They do some myofacial release work too-but I haven't had that done

there.--tho' my PT thinks my thumb needs it near the incision. (so

do I) How is that done for a thumb incision?

the (former) doubting one~

-----------------

(1) The sensations you describe are typical. For me, they usually

start with a ping-pong,see-saw, sensation. They can then get very

chaotic and just swirl all over the place until they get into an

even pattern and finally either balance out or fade away.

(2) The pain that ran down the anterior side of your tibia was

probably caused by a fascial restriction. I was absolutely shocked

to discover while working on 's and Dylan that this

stuff also works great for doing myofascial release. Both of those

cases were from using Jin Shin Do Acupressure but there is no reason

why broad area polarity wouldn't do it as well.

(3) Heat sensations are also very common, either from the giver or

the givee. As Barb, and Cindy can attest, when my hands

are in " treatment mode " they get very hot. At times they will

radiate so much heat that you can feel it on the skin from six

inches to a foot away from the body.

(4) As far working on other joints, keep in mind that if you can do

this on yourself - you can just as easily do it on other people

around you.

(5) Since you have been getting results with it, a question out of

curiosity. Do you have any idea how many pain meds you have NOT had

to take since starting to do this?

(6) MFR near the thumb incision? Here are some passages from my MFR

I manual from :

" Scar tissue can create extensive dysfunction within the fascial

system...and have long reaching effects throughout the body causing

seemingly unrelated symptoms and dysfunctions. No scar should go

unevaluated. Even the smallest scar can be just the " tip of the

iceberg " of fascial dysfunction.

Techinque: Palpate along the entire length of the scar to determine

the most tender point. When the most tender point is determined

apply pressure into that area through 360 degrees to evaluate the

most tender direction within that point. Once that is determined,

pressure is applied into the barrier into the direction that is most

tender. Wait against the barrier until a release occurs. Then

follow the inherent motion in whatever direction it takes you to

each succesive barrier until all is quiescent. Do not direct or

force the motion. Do not let the motion return in the same

direction from which it came. Two hands are used, the bottom hand

for direction, the top for force. Encourage patient to take deep

breaths and allow the release of any emotion or noise. Always give

the patient a control word, but also explain the benefit of going

through the pain to get an effective result. "

That is a bit of a description of what is involved. Use of a

control word is because scar release can be a bit painful at times

and the control word is simply something that the patient or client

can quickly say to get the therapist to ease up or stop. As for the

thumb, the therapist would probably just be using a couple of finger

tips instead of the flats of the hands because of limited space, but

the basic technique would be the same.

************************************************

At one point while Mike was here, He was working on Dylan's knee and I was at

his head, and my fingers felt like ... Well, when you put a 9 volt battery on

your tongue. It was really strong and icky. I had to keep shaking the energy off

my fingers. It was almost a hurting feeling. You never know what this stuff is

going to feel like until you experience it for your self. I can feel the pulsing

on all my dogs now! It must have been there all along, maybe I didn't tune into

it? I fell asleep with my greyhound's hip booboo in my hands last night. LOL
