DEEP MUSCLE THERAPY

Why are some therapies successful for one individual and not for another?
To answer this question I will not go into a long expose of physiological processes within the body. The answers are simple. The basic principle of a healthy body is to have healthy blood which can only be achieved by good circulation. If each cell of the body is well nourished and healthy, then so too will the whole body be healthy. Our cells get sick and we get sick.

Surrounding each cell is Lymphatic fluid. Obviously the purity of the Lymph depends on the quality of the blood and the vigor of the circulation. The cleansing action of the lymph being as important as the nourishing action.

To achieve Homeostasis (perfectly balanced body chemistry), the blood must flow freely, rich in nutrients and oxygen, and free of unwanted substances and toxins.

One of the major factors restricting the flow of blood and lymph is tight muscles. When the muscles, particularly the deeper layers, are in spasm there is a ‘clamping’ effect on the arteries which slows the circulation and inhibits the lymphatic flow. These spasms (and subsequent adhesions) may be present for years, affecting every single organ and tissue in the body - the liver - heart - brain - etc.

Most therapies overlook the factor of releasing the deeper layers of the muscles as a priority before trying to enhance circulation. We have a two fold effect that takes place once these deeper layers are released, not only are the arteries released but overall circulation through the muscles is increased which will build a stronger immune system thus helping our bodies to cope with the pressures of life so much easier.

These are the basic principles on which depends whether a therapy will be successful. With this in mind I would like to introduce you to DEEP MUSCLE THERAPY. As the title implies this therapy treats the deeper layers of the muscles, nerves and major vessels which have been constricted.

Deep Muscle Therapy is not just another therapy that may help. The fact is that it will help and plays a major part in how fast the healing process can take place within the body.

The answer to crippling problems is in the muscles - not the nerves. People become paralysed for two reasons:
Firstly, the blood supply to the muscles is diminished. Without fresh, oxygenated arterial blood, the muscles degenerate in various ways - become hardened, rubbery, woody, mushy etc.

Secondly, the flow of Lymph is restricted to the muscles. This fluid is vital in lubricating the muscles and preventing them from adhering to one another. Without Lymph, there will be friction, and different muscles will adhere together - as though they are one.

Regardless of the disease, the same basic muscle problems are involved. The only difference from case to case is that the different parts of the muscles are involved. It might be the beginning, the middle or the end, or in the muscle coating or in the individual muscle fibres themselves. Aside from this, the problems are the same.

This is why one single technique can help so many different conditions. By softening hardened muscle fibres and releasing the muscles that are adhered, this will restore the Lymph flow between the muscles and improve the circulation into the muscles.

The question that is often asked in regard to Deep Muscle Therapy is whether or not it is painful. The answer is both Yes and No. An important thing to remember is that Deep Muscle Therapy simply uncovers the pain that is already there. It also depends on the condition of the muscles- the tighter the muscles, the more pain will be felt. The first treatment is always the most intense, as the muscles become free the pain decreases.
In whatever therapy being practiced Deep Muscle Therapy is an essential ingredient to achieve optimum results in improving the circulation and therefore maintaining good health.
