Read MoreI always brace myself before reading an article in a mainstream pub about something that our collective fields have been working with and exploring for a very long time and to good effect (see NYT article on the vagus nerve that emphasizes potentials for drugs and inserted gadgets rather than attuned health care and relationships). Such was the case with the recent NYT brief on “New” understandings about fascia.
Read MoreLet’s talk about working with folks after a spinal surgery. This is a follow up to the post about “dose” when it comes to bodywork. We will see that dose, not just in one session but over the arc of treatment is important in these cases. We want to have our eye on the long game for our people.
Read MoreWellness/biohack culture is obsessed with the vagus nerve and yet often misses the point of what can be helpful about understanding the polyvagal theory and the individual dynamism of each of our vagal systems. There isn’t a shortcut for deepening our capacity for both self and co-regulation.
Read MoreWe are in the midst of evolving health challenges, and there is very little that the conventional healthcare system will be able to offer those who are suffering from complications related to long COVID. Our work as holistic health practitioners is a missing link in our decidedly under functioning healthcare system. Because of this, it seems relevant to consider craniosacral work as a component of care—and hopefully healing—for people suffering multiple chronic and long-term afflictions after COVID infection.
Read MoreWe are super excited to be presenting a synthesis of our manual therapy approach to the abdomen--specifically focusing on chronic digestive patterns in the small intestine (such as SIBO)--coming up next weekend.
As many of you who treat these conditions know, they can be complex and often defy available diagnostic categories and treatment protocols (e.g. patients often relapse, symptoms can be beguiling and mysterious, and lab results can run contrary to the patient experience). In our course, together we will explore a holistic understanding -- combining a felt-sense approach to the abdomen with insights from both osteopathic and classical Chinese medicine. We hope it will serve towards the further understanding and treatment of these difficult cases.
