PS Re: physical therapy and mito?

[Guest guest]

Maggie, Thanks for your input. Glad you have found a med that

helps a little and hope your massage therapist works out well for

you. Thank also for your input about Physical Therapy and warm

stretching and then icing.

I've been under the care of an excellent chiropractor who

specialises in Applied Kinesiology and I think his care in

keeping me aligned and balanced has been crucial.

My two experiences with acupunture were disasters, the most

recent, (from a

MD) was 16 weeks of horror that set me back about a year.

I HAVE found some things that help a bit, but I just can't afford

them on a

regular basis and insurance won't cover them. Upledger

cranial-sacral body work

and Reiki (a form of energy balancing body work) have been

VERY beneficial.

Treatments are the only time I really get relief and it lasts a while.

They can

be VERY gentle modalities. If I won the lottery had have a

treatment every

day., heck, I'd have a LIVE IN therapist and get them twice a day!

GENTLE

reflexology has also been beneficial.

I'm very much a " newbie " mito. Do you know, in cases where the

pain isn't

caused by high levels of lactate of pyruvate, if " they " know what

causes the

pain? Do you think it's just the muscles " screaming " because

they don't have

enough fuel, or are blocked metabloic wastes involved?

Thanks and Best Wishes,

Anita
