First, let's carefully listen to the presentations of Daniel and Phil. Please click this link

Daniel reported three years of terrible, disabling suffering from pain in the lower back. As his doctor explained, this pain was the result of disc herniations, and if epidural injections didn't help, surgery would be necessary. However, the injections didn't work, indicating that disc herniations and spinal stenosis were not responsible for the painful clinical picture. My non-surgical treatment made a difference, and after three years of suffering and disability, he could return to normal function. The secret to this success will be revealed in the further presentation.

If we pay close attention to Philip's presentation, it becomes a real personal tragedy. I addressed his neck and headache disorder using the protocol presented in program number 4, and for concussion rehabilitation, I used the protocol presented in program number 15. For lower back disc herniations and spinal stenosis, I used the massage protocol presented in program number one. So, what is the secret key to success?

The main causes of lower back pain, including but not limited to sciatica, often involve cases of fascial/muscular insufficiencies. In the vertical position, most of the weight-bearing is carried by muscles such as iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis, and QL muscles. When these muscles build up tension, they become insufficient to bear at least 78% of the weight. Weight-bearing is an unavoidable force, and in cases of muscular deficit, it gets transmitted and distributed to intervertebral discs, facet joints, and ligaments. These components, originally not designed for weight-bearing, are already injured and constantly exposed to additional trauma, leading to an increase in the size of disc herniations and spinal stenosis. Tension in the gluteal group of muscles, including the Piriformis muscles, can also contribute or  being the main first cause responsible for the clinical picture.

In program number one, in addition to teaching how to perform five kneading techniques, soft tissue diagnosis for detecting and eliminating built-up tension within the fascia, and how to perform Lewitt's post-isometric relaxation techniques, as well as active movement therapy for the lower back, I teach how to address all the main causes. Sometimes these causes, collectively, are responsible for the clinical picture. If you carefully view and listen to Philip's presentation, between the lines, you will hear a story about human tragedy and losing hope. In the end, his voice started shaking. An appropriately applied massage protocol can make a significant difference in the lives of people.

The clinical picture in cases of fibromyalgia is devastating, with individuals experiencing pain throughout their bodies, clinical depression, and disorientation, rendering them practically disabled. Approximately 35 years ago, patients displaying fibromyalgia symptoms, despite inconclusive lab tests and radiological means, were often referred to psychiatric care. It is noteworthy that once antipsychotic medications were introduced, these patients rarely returned to a state of normalcy. The entire complex of fibromyalgia syndrome originates at the muscular level and, therefore, necessitates treatment targeted at the muscles. In this regard, a medical massage protocol proves to be the most effective approach for fibromyalgia cases.

To better comprehend how massage can aid in fibromyalgia cases, a brief discussion of anatomy and pathology is warranted. Muscles are enveloped by fascia, a connective tissue crucial for determining muscle stretch and contraction. Importantly, fascia also serves as pathways for nerves and blood vessels. In cases of fibromyalgia, prolonged pathological hypertonus in muscles results in tense fascia, causing compression of muscle fibers, nerve tissue, and blood vessels. This irritation initiates and eventually leads to the development of fibromyositis. The persistent muscle tension in fibromyalgia cases induces strain on muscles and tendons, inevitably leading to inflammation. This inflammatory condition prompts the deposition of calcium in muscles and tendon attachments, termed fibromyositis. Chronic inflammation in the musculoskeletal system triggers secondary changes in neurotransmitter levels and activities in the central nervous system, which become evident as chronic pain sets in.

The sustained tension in skeletal muscles further affects fascia, aponeurosis, and other soft tissues, causing a decrease in elasticity and influencing microcirculation. This tension, coupled with a mismatch between motor nervous commands and insufficient arterial blood supply, initiates changes in local pH, activating pain receptors and causing the patient to experience pain. After weeks or months of such chronic pain, changes in neurotransmitter activities become apparent, with an increase in substance P and a decrease in serotonin levels. Substance P is responsible for slow or chronic pain conduction through the spinal cord, while serotonin is vital for bodily functions such as smooth muscle contraction and blood coagulation, in addition to its role as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Clinical depression, often accompanying fibromyalgia, correlates with a significant decrease in serotonin concentration in the brain.

In program number 3, Boris provides a detailed explanation and a hands-on, step-by-step demonstration of a medical massage protocol for fibromyalgia cases. Additionally, Boris teaches Manchurian acupressure for tension headaches, which proves beneficial when treating fibromyalgia patients. The program includes a demonstration of full-body massage and movement therapy. Importantly, these techniques are not only applicable to fibromyalgia cases but are also useful and beneficial in treating other unrelated conditions.

Speaking about the power of medical massage, it is safe to assert that in certain exceedingly challenging cases involving disabling patients, conventional medicine finds itself powerless. This leaves individuals in a state of perpetual suffering, dependent on the continuous consumption of potent medications, among other difficulties. The question arises: why do we, in some instances, succeed where conventional medicine falls short?

To unravel this mystery, let us first meticulously examine the case presentations provided by patient.. Subsequently, I will offer explanations and delve into the protocols I have successfully employed to address these challenging cases.

Dear colleagues, what was the reason that all this doctors have had no answer” about these symptoms he simply shrugged his shoulders and said "it is out of my hands".
To shed more light on the significant advantages offered by medical massage, particularly in diagnostic assessment and treatment planning.

Traditional diagnostic tools such as CTs MRI, while invaluable in many respects, have limitations when it comes to detecting tension buildups within muscles and fascia. Myofascial syndromes, which can lead to disabilities and persistent suffering, are often challenging to identify through standard medical imaging. In cases where MRI findings do not align with clinical phenomena, patients may receive prescriptions for steroids, no steroids anti-inflammatories, painkillers, or gabapentin. However, sustained results through medication alone can be elusive in myofascial syndromes. Through my training and teaching experiences, I have honed the ability to examine soft tissues with my fingers, detecting abnormalities and utilizing specially designed massage techniques to address them effectively.

Another scenario involves instances where MRI findings suggest conditions like sciatic nerve neuralgia resulting from disc herniation, leading to surgical recommendations. By palpating and detecting tension buildups within muscles such as the Piriformis, I have been able to develop and implement a specially designed protocol, preventing unnecessary surgeries.

Just for the record, this patient has been suffering since 2019. Naturally, my first step was to carefully listen to the patient's case presentation. Before conducting palpation and soft tissue examinations to assess motion range and other factors, it became evident that this individual was grappling with significant and challenging typical postsurgical myofascial dysfunction, including but not limited to a compromised brachial plexus. In his testimonial, the patient referred to it as a major nerve issue.
