Is Your Facility Scraficing Caregivers?

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Nurses are not trained in school to conduct  safe patient transfers, so there is no reason to expect they will be able to do it at your facility. 

If you have injuries you are sacrificing your staff. This is troubling, since a simple, safe and cost effective solution is available.  It takes a very small investment in money and time to have all your staff easily transferring patients without sacrificing them to the back doctors. 

Save your caregivers and the solution will literally pay for itself.  We guarantee it.  www.MrSwivel.com

Scar Tissue Reduction and Pain Relief

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Repetitive motion, injury and surgery can result in the formation of scar tissue in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and joints.  Scar tissue is dead fibrotic tissue also called adhesions.  The best way to reduce the scar tissue is through the use of Decompression Massage Therapy.  

Decompressing the scar tissue slowly and painlessly breaks down the scar tissue while increasing circulation to the dead area.  These adhesions have restricted normal blood, and energy flows resulting in dehydration.    Tissue decompression normalizes the tissue restoring function and eliminating pain.

Key words: Scar tissue, tissue dehydration, inflammation, adhesions, fibrotic tissue, pain, soft tissue.

Ancient Healing for Tendinitis

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Tendinitis is inflammation, irritation and swelling of a tendon.  It occurs in the elbow, heel, shoulder or wrist.   The tendons are fibrous structures respond quickly to stimulation and extension.  One approach is to apply heat and then decompress the tissue with a glide tool running along the length of the tendon.  This will remove any accumulated fluids, remove blockages and restore circulation. The tissue can become dehydrated, scared even calcified all leading to painful conditions.

Tissue decompression or decompression massage therapy as some call it is a modern version of an ancient healing therapy. This powerful negative pressure therapy reaches deep within the body leaving no cell untouched.

Breaking Scar Tissue Pain – Macro Deformation

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Scar tissue can lead to chronic pain.  Deep inside the body there are few alternatives to resolve it.  One natural way to address the process is with negative pressure. Negative pressure can penetrate through the layers that make up the soft tissue structure.  It is here the problem lives.

Scar tissue restricts normal motion of fibers and reduces fluid and energy transmission creating hot spots of pain.  These hot spots can be static, not requiring motion to activate or dynamic, requiring motion to activate.   Scar tissue dehydrates generating pain. Pain generates a muscle contraction response which results in stress restrictions in the muscle and myofascial structures further wrenching down on its victim like a python.

Surgery will only produce more scars, exercise does little to break it up, and hand therapies would have to be so aggressive they could not be tolerated.  A natural solution is a process described as negative pressure macro deformation.  Negative pressure is applied lifting and shearing the tissues below.  This is accomplished with tool called a decompression massage device.  Amazingly since the therapy goes in reverse, pulling out of the body, it is a relatively painless therapy.  The scar tissue is stretched and torn.  This process is repeated in a series, and the body slowly metabolizes the waste tissue. 

Nerves are freed from the grip of the adhesions, fluids are drawn in rehydrating the tissue, muscles are stripped and lengthened helping to elongate the collagen that reforms from the process of tearing and rebuilding.  During the process fresh blood is continually pumped into this formerly barren zone.  The tissue begins to respond almost immediately although the entire process may take weeks or longer.  Therapists call this process “Pain lifting”, because it lifts the tissue far out of the body and often the pain with it.
