Comment on What is PAIL’s (Progressive Angular Isometric Loading)™? by Dr. Andreo Spina

There are many lines of research that support my concept of P.A.I.L’s. Regarding the workings of the stretch reflex…obviously you can delve into the basic physiologic research. But there are others…and more constantly emerging

here are a few for you:
Kimura et al. Gradual increment/decrement of isometric force modulates soles stretch reflex response in humans. Neuroscience Letters 347 (2003) 25–28

Lindh M (1979). “Increase of muscle strength from isometric quadriceps exercises at different knee angles”. Scand J Rehabil Med 11 (1): 33–6.

Duchateau J, Hainaut K (1984). “Isometric or dynamic training: differential effects on mechanical properties of a human muscle”. Journal of Applied Physiology 56 (2): 296–301.

I have a question. What you stated about the stretch reflex sounds logical and I have been with a patient when this happened (this was 32 yrs ago) but what science is this based on? or What sources can you site? Thanks

Comment on Fascia Superficialis…new research on the importance of fascial planes in functional movement by Dr. Andreo Spina

Dr. Andreo Spina — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:03:53 +0000

There are several obvious problems with this question…I will not attempt to answer all of them, however I feel compelled to at least address some of the more prevalent problems.

First off, there are two main reasons behind the claim that this is ‘NEW.’ First off, the more obvious one, is the fact that the date of publication is very recent. But more importantly, it reveals things the fascia superficialis is that were not known to ANYONE before its publication…this makes me question weather or not you actually read the article btw.

The second problem is with your second point. I have taught manual therapists all over the world in the topics of soft tissue assessment, treatment, and mechanics. Specifically, my focus has been on the topic of connective tissue and fascia. I assure you…all CMT’s (nor DC’s, nor PT’s, nor Osteopaths, etc.) have understood that it is “all about fascia,” and those who always BELIEVED they were treating fascia in actuality were not. This is because of the more recent surge of research on the topic which is only BEGINNING to help us explain how this tissue responds to loading by manual means. If you were somehow granted this information in advance…than you stand alone in your ability to overcome the space/time barrier. Just knowing the word ‘fascia,’ does not imply complete understanding of it….nor does the assumption that you feel it “all about the fascia” make you any more knowledgeable in the topic.

thank goodness for research.

How is this “NEW”? CMT’s have ALWAYS known and understood that it’s all about the fascia!

Hello. I have been severely suffering from a headache that hasn’t left me since June of 2011…7 months now. I have had MRI’s, bloodwork, and been to many doctors. The very bad pain is located above my right eye (eyelid area) but my entire head, neck and shoulders are tight. (they just don’t hurt like the eyelid area) I am severely depressed and this has destroyed my life. I have been looking into maybe trying trigger point injections but don’t know what kind of doctor to go to who actually knows all the muscles, trigger points, referred pain, etc. Can you please help me? Thank you.

My left hand/wrist was injured when I tried to catch a heaavy object. Since that time Iv’e had continued and increased weakness in my fingers,ha nd wrist and lower arm. An emg test showed the problem was emitting from the Brachial Plexus.
