Courtesy of the Barral Institute: One explanation of how manual therapy works is provided by Donald E. Ingber MD, PhD, at Harvard Medical School (2008) who argues for the “concept of cellular mechanotransduction, the process by which cells sense mechanical forces and transduce them into changes in intracellular biochemisty and gene expression.” Based on a…

Do you include treatment of the Diaphragm in your shoulder or postural treatments? I know I do and have for my whole career. Quote: “This study provides definitive evidence that the human diaphragm is involved in the control of postural stability during sudden voluntary movement of the limbs.” Read the full abstract here Enroll in…
Interested in a new perspective for your patients with lower extremity issues? Let me show you a new perspective with an old technique to get the injured tissues functioning more efficiently, re-establish better gait patterns, reduce pain, tension and discomfort and improve your patients quality of life. Come out to Ligamentous Articular Strain Techniques for the…
This article presents a review of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of joint receptors. The role of joint receptors in signaling position and movement has been studied since the early part of this century. Morphological descriptions and reflexive and kinesthetic contributions of articular receptors in the regulation of motor behavior have been identified in studies on anesthetized animals and to a…
The intraarticular disk ligament is a very dense, fibrous structure that arises from the synchondral junction of the first rib to the sternum and passes through the sternoclavicular joint, which divides the joint into two separate joint spaces. The upper attachment is on the superior and posterior aspects of the medial clavicle. DePalma has shown that the disk is…
“Serious attention must therefore be given by clinicians – and not least, by physiotherapists – to the role of articular reflexes in the regulation of normal and abnormal posture and movement, in addition to their sensory perceptual functions.” “Functions of Articular Neural Receptor Systems: The nerve-endings and their afferent fibers are responsible for two main…

Nice short video about the connection of Ligamentous injuries, Ligament Pain and the treatment of the injuries with Prolotherapy.
An amazing RMT in Sask. asked me about a Patient having increasing bouts of sneezing after performing techniques to the Patients cranium. The Patient has a chronic application of nasal spray treatment for previous sinus issues. Knowing that Ligamentous Articular Strain Technique was applied to the cranium by William Sutherland DO, I researched into some…
