Myofascial Release Physical Therapy to Address Pain Mar 06, 2018

Show notes

Could myofascial release treatment (MFR) be the answer to your chronic pain?When we encounter traumatic or dangerous events, we either stay and fight or we run to save our lives as a defense mechanism. Most people are familiar with this fight/flight response. However, there is a third option called the ‘freeze’ response. Get farm to table ingredients and recipes delivered right to your door every week with Sun Basket. Go to SunBasket.com/talkhealthy to save $35 off of your first order. - sponsor When we freeze, the emotional and physical components of the traumatic event are stored on a cellular level. During a myofascial release treatment (MFR) it is not uncommon for these emotions, events and memories to come to the surface and be released allowing people to understand why they have certain physical or behavioral patterns in life. This, in turn, allows for closure to the traumatic experience. MFR focuses on releasing the restrictions within the fascial system, helping with a host of injuries and ailments in children and adults ranging from neck and back pain, arthritis and degenerative disk disease to headaches and migraines, sciatica, scoliosis and sports injuries to name a few. Fascia, a web of connective tissue that spreads from head to toe, covers and interpenetrates every muscle, bone, vessel, nerve and cell in the body. Restricted fascia is often a major source of pain. MFR therapists apply gentle and sustained elongation or compression in the areas of tightness or pain, releasing the fascia and freeing up the spaces in between the joints, muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels. The treatment realigns the body, restores fluidity, elongates elastin and collagen fibers and results in increased flexibility, strength and function. Listen as Sepi Aeen of From the Heart Physical Therapy joins host Lisa Davis to explain what MFR is and how it can be used for a variety of ails.

Holistic Treatment Approach to Alzheimer's Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

Alzheimer's is a family problem -- ruthless in its scope and spread.Who among us is not affected by issues such as stress, depression, personality and behavioral changes, agitation, hypertension or high cholesterol... to name a few? Did you know that these are some of the cognitive and biological deficiencies that are associated with Alzheimer's? Get farm to table ingredients and recipes delivered right to your door every week with Sun Basket. Go to SunBasket.com/talkhealthy to save $35 off of your first order. - sponsor It is estimated that 5.4 million people in the U.S. are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. In its capacity to completely destroy personalities, relationships and daily living, we cannot afford to continue thinking of it as a private disease. Alzheimer's is a family problem -- ruthless in its scope and spread. And, despite relentless trials and research studies, scientists have not found a drug to control it. Even worse, there isn't even a fully reliable diagnostic test for it. Alzheimer's disease has become a gigantic specter that looms before all of us as we age, and it is advancing unimpeded. Today we know that contributing factors and symptoms (such as stress and hypertension) can be alleviated with holistic, alternate management approaches, like meditation, yoga, music therapy and virtual reality therapy. Research studies from Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University and Mayo Clinic, among many others, have demonstrated the comprehensive benefits of yoga and meditation on various aspects of the human mind. When you think about it, that's where Alzheimer's disease develops: in the mind. How can meditation and yoga stop or even reverse the course of Alzheimer's? They set the mind on an inward journey where the risk factors that precipitate the disease are formed. This bridging of the old and new creates an imperative paradigm shift in our perspective toward Alzheimer's disease management. Shuvendu Sen, MD, author of Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer's, joins host Lisa Davis to discuss why these holistic approaches are precisely what is needed to cause a drastic and necessary revolution in medical care.
