It would be better to be a good therapist than just be sometimes
It would be better to be a good therapist than just be sometimes One of the competences that brings us closer to the status of a good therapist is acupuncture. History of Master Tung The first mentions of acupuncture date back, depending on the source, from 2 to 4 thousand years BC. In this article, I will try to present one of the acupuncture systems, namely the Master Tung method in the treatment of various diseases, including pain syndromes. Master Tung is considered one of the most important acupuncturists in modern history. 39 years after his death, his method gained popularity all over the world. She became famous for using just a few needles with miraculous healing results. As I claimed...

The emotional side of trigger points. Can pain promote therapy? Part II
The emotional side of trigger points. Can pain promote therapy? Part II This part of the article is intended to answer the question: can pain be conducive to therapy? For this purpose, we will compare two completely different ways of manual work on myofascial trigger points (tps): Painless - the concept of painless work in this way is passed on and promoted, among others, by deep tissue massage therapists or osteopaths - e.g. through progressive pressure or positional relaxation, which are painless. Painful - a model of work with MPPS in R. Składowski's manual medicine. Based on ischemic compression and functional techniques. When working with trigger points, it is painless to work relatively gently - using e.g. positional loosening (sign …

The emotional side of trigger points. Can pain promote therapy? Part I
The emotional side of trigger points. Can pain promote therapy? Part I There are no gold standards in manual therapy. Our environment is very extensive, and the way of working depends on training, books, teachers - with whom a given therapist has become acquainted. Often the theories and theses of one of the therapeutic approaches are completely contradictory to the other approach. A lot of similarities, related thoughts and observations - but often fundamental differences. This article will consider one of these differences - the role of pain accompanying therapy. It will be described on the basis of therapy of patients with myofascial trigger points (MPs). Regarding trigger points, there are also differences in nomenclature - that's why in ...

The phenomenon of tissue piezoelectricity in Pinopressure
The phenomenon of tissue piezoelectricity in Pinopressure What is Pinopressure? Pinopressure is a non-invasive method of rehabilitation, successfully used both in sports and in pain patients. It provides psychological and nervous relief, and also releases stress tensions of the central nervous system. She bases her therapies on the knowledge of tissue electricity and reflex medicine. Fascia, which is currently the subject of many studies, consists largely of collagen tissues, proteins that have electrical conductivity properties. Broadly understood tissue overload affects the formation of increased current flow, provoking the formation of fascia desification, resulting in pain. What are collagen fibers? Collagen fibers are largely arranged parallel to each other, thanks to ...

Prenatal anatomy
Anatomy of the prenatal period. The brachial plexus, practically everything has been written about it, we know how it is built, how the nerves come out of the spinal cord and innervate our upper limb both sensory and motor. In this article, I will try to present the anatomy of the brachial plexus from the prenatal period. In the research of Professor Woźniak from 2012, it was found that the classically built brachial plexus was found in 46.82% of cases. In a study from 2003, Usyl's work showed that in typical fetal material, 46.5 percent of cases were observed. In studies on cadavers, where adults were examined, the percentage of normal brachial plexus ranged from 16.4 percent [Matejcik, 2005], through 28 percent [Adebisi ...
Structure and division of the venous system
Structure and division of the venous system. Time for the second part of the journey through the circulation in the brain. In this section, we will focus on the topography of veins and arteries. We're going to try to talk a bit about the physiology of cerebral circulation. I invite you to immerse yourself and consider the fascinating network that is the cerebral vessels and how blood flows into our "head" and how it flows out of it. Basically, based on anatomy and physiology, the veins in our brain are divided into two basic types: deep (cortical) veins and superficial veins. There are also bridging veins that are tributaries of the venous sinuses. The superficial veins provide the outflow of venous blood…
Resistance or capacity, the history of circulation in the brain
Resistance or capacity, history of blood circulation. In the brain in many cases, doctors, physiotherapists, therapists, osteopaths, acupuncturists and all sorts of specialists try to figure out why the patient's head hurts, why a person gets dizzy. The answer comes in part from anatomy, specifically the venous system of our brain, or how it is that our central nervous system copes well with the outflow of blood from our head. Let's start with the anatomical properties and physiology of our brain. The brain, or brain in general, despite its small size (it is about 2% of the body weight of the whole organism), has a very well-constructed circulatory system that regulates the needs of the entire organ, changing into ...

Dry needling vs acupuncutre
Dry needling and acupuncture. The adjective "dry" results from the fact that the first treatments of this type were performed with an injection needle, but without administering any anti-inflammatory drugs, water for injection or saline, i.e. they were simply performed "dry". In the original version, muscle trigger points were subjected to dry needling in accordance with the knowledge flowing from the work of Travell and Simons "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Tigger Point Manual". The experiences of subsequent authors added to the list of punctured tissues: ligaments, cardinal points of the fascial system, intra-articular discs and meniscus, adventitia of large vessels and perineurium, and even selected ...
What Pinotherapy (Pinopressure) is?
What is Pinopressure? To grow, go beyond what you know. The brain, like a computer, only sees what it is programmed to see. Only what he already knows. Fortunately, we are not just the brain. We can go beyond the matrix. W. Eichelberger. How controversial it sounds in times of huge development of medical science and the cult of everything we think we already know. In all this, we underestimate the huge potential that lies dormant in our body. We are talking about regeneration, self-regulation and treating our body as an intelligent, biomechanical being, where the ego sphere is not the only dominant. We can't use the mechanisms that for millions of years...
