Dear Sarah: One of the problems on the application side, is the
intensity of stimulation. At times, the process of breaking up adhesions
is inflammatory; so when is it therapeutic? As with all pressure
techniques, one has to account for Weber's law? re pressure sensitivity
(forgot the exact terminology.) The Grater the pressure, the less one
can discern marginal changes in mass weight changes and the like (which
is also the explanation why the physical aspect of craniosacral therapy
e.g.. perception of CSF changes is ludicrous, irrational, and
projective; never mind all the unwinding nonsense.) The other problems,
just to name a few, are the nature of Mu receptors: individuals possess
different concentration of the protein (am not sure if only in the
periphery or at the root entry-zone, see Proceeding National Academy of
Science, late 2000); emotional reaction to pain; and the nature of
movement following and during therapy. Yet it works! Amazing.
Regards, Joe
