Integrative Medicine & Physical Therapy w/ Gail Wetzler P.T.

[MSMathieu777]

In my experience muscles are almost always either balancing, stabilizing or protecting other structures that are of higher priority. As Gail mentions, lung and pleural problems may show up as shoulder pain. The lung issues are primary, the shoulder issues secondary. Organs, arteries, nerves, bones, dura, ligaments are often primary in creating secondary muscular issues. It is a paradigm shift to see that the muscles don't need to be fixed, they are being told what to do by the brain.

sambking,

She absolutely is not making this up, Gail Wetzler is probably one of the most skilled manual therapists on the planet. I have taking classes with Gail and I have received work from her.

As an example in my own practice, I have seen both adaptive shortenings and lengthenings in the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee change within seconds of releasing something somewhere else in the body, like freeing up a kidney adhesion to the posterior renal fascias.

Really? Adaptive shortening? Did she just make that up sitting there? How about an understanding of muscle physiology and a scientific explanation based on physiological fact rather than guessing what is happening. Read the work of Thomas Griner. He explains muscle physiology, why muscles go spastic and how to fix them. Google Neurosoma and Thomas Griner.

I'm about to see an IMT practitioner for the first time. I hope it's wonderful as you make it sound!
