You may recall my e mail to you about needling the scar on my foot?
My physio did it again on two more occasions, and also needled other areas of the instep. It got progressivly more painful as the fascia released so we haven’t needled the foot any more because it is nearly as good as new now. I can’t believe it, thankyou so much.
I have been attending a cranio sacral therapist recently. He has identified that my “stiff upper lip” throughout my life has internalised many events, as well as the effects of accidents involving my head and neck ,and that my internal core is so bound up with scar tissue from my two confinements it had always affected my core fascia and beyond. Quite a bit to rather painfully unravel. I bounce weekly between him, the physio, my Pilates teacher who now has me doing versions of the Tower et al, and Jodie Yogi who pulls me back into place. I am very lucky to have them all.
Not for publication!
Cheers
Brenda

You walk the walk Dr Spina as well as talking the talk. In my next life I will know more! I was born too late but am trying to catch up. So interesting. Your articles should be de rigeur viewing for all osteopathic surgeons in training. Many senior surgeons unfortunately know very little about rehabilitation or injury prevention, as the main interests for them are golf.

Comment on “Stability”….a misunderstood concept: Why ‘stability’ does NOT mean ‘rigidity’ by Dr. Andreo Spina

Hi David

I actually agree with you, however the way that you are defining alignment is under a stronger microscope that the definition used in the post. By ‘alignment’ here I am using a more general term to combat the notion that body regions are held in certain positions…as are the ones demanded by therapists and trainers. For example the maintenance of ‘neutral’ spine during exercise. In ‘finer terms,’ ie. defining the alignment of individual joints – the ability to maintain ‘stability’ does rely on the ability to maintain centralization during movement of body segments. This allows great feats of mobility to occur while maintaining safety throughout the ROM

thanks for the comment

I don’t believe for a moment that a healthy functional body “freqently is forced out of alignment”. The key issue here is a healthy musculoskeletal system maintains excellent joint centration, regardless of position, direction and velocity of a given task. Centration is excellent alignment of all joint complexes as is a direct biproduct of mobility (strength and flexibility) as well as stiffness of variable degrees and coordinated efficient neural drive.

Alignment perhaps is not the best of terms to use to describe the point being made above.

Comment on Why mini squats are BAD for your knees by Dr. Andreo Spina

Hi Colo

Counternutation is in fact the correct term. As the sacrum counternutates (i.e. the sacral base tilts posteriorly) the innominantes have to follow thus also creating a posterior pelvic tilt. So we are in fact in agreement as we are saying the same thing.

thanks for commenting

ok, but then counternutation might be not the right term here, since you mean more like a posterior pelvic tilt, which I can absolutely agree on.
