A dynamic change! 
In 2009 NIS will be addressing a subject that is functionally complex. Many have endeavoured to manually change its dynamics in an effort to assist circulation and relieve pain. What medium in the human body—

• Extends from head to toe, from front to back, from interior to exterior and plays a major part in maintaining structural integrity?
• Plays an essential role in hemodynamic and biochemical processes?
• Provides the matrix that allows for intercellular communication?
• Functions as the body's first line of defence against pathogenic agents and infections?
• Creates an environment for tissue repair?

I’m talking about a substance that alters with every NIS treatment – THE FASCIA.

One can spend many tedious procedures endeavouring to assist the patient to retain and maintain fascial integrity. At the end of the day did you complete the job? The pathologies resulting from fascial restrictions range from a mild decrease in joint range of motion to severe fascial binding of muscles, nerves and blood vessels, as in compartment syndrome of the leg. If fascial contraction can be interrupted long enough, a reverse form of fascial remodelling occurs. The fascia will normalize its composition and tone and the extra material that was generated by prolonged contraction will be ingested by macrophages within the extracellular matrix.   


A common respiratory problem frequently seen will manifest from a disruption to the sternoclavicular articulations. Major shoulder tension develops and subsequent diaphragmatic difficulties.  This is a simple illustration where the fascia of the lungs and heart can be
 implicated. The collective release of these ‘compartments’ will afford immediate relief and demonstrate improved spirometry values.

NIS can now determine if fascial restrictions’ are apparent, the tissue of involvement, and allow the brain to initiate immediate change. In addition to connective tissue problems I look forward to sharing with you the many exciting changes that will allow your patients to “breathe easy’ in 2009!
