Much like fabric, muscles are made of fibers. The muscles are clusters of fibers surrounded by membranes. Those clusters are filled with smaller clusters, each surrounded by another membrane, and so on. Even the molecules that make up the muscles are fibrous. . . . #themoreyouknow #science #bodynerd #anatomy #biotensegrity #auxetic

This is what our bones look like up close (very close). - - - #bones #tissue #biotensegrity #auxetic #lasa #bodynerd

Often, the area that hurts isn't really the problem. Case in point: I had a patient today with back pain in the area of the quadratus lumborum/QL (bottom right pic). About a year ago he had surgery for a torn hip labrum (top pic). The labrum helps the ball of the femur stay in the hip socket. Turns out the scar tissue from the surgery had shut down his tensor fascia latae/TFL (bottom left pic). The QL was overcompensating for his TFL and causing the back pain. Using acupuncture, I activated his TFL an relaxed his QL. Not only was his pain better, but he could left his leg better and his leg-length discrepancy was gone. NeuroKinetic Therapy has been a fantastic adjunct to my acupuncture practice and has greatly increased the effectiveness of my treatments. . . . #acupuncture #lasa #lasportsacupuncture #nkt #neurokinetictherapy #backpain #whereyouthinkitisitaint #orthopedics #sportsmedicine #bodynerd #ancientchinesesecret #ql #tfl #labrumtear #scartissue (at L.A.

Beyond just #acupuncture these are some of the other skills I bring to the table. Neurokinetic Therapy, golf-specific evaluation from the Titleist Performance Institute, and very soon, the Selective Functional Movement Assessment. There's not a lot of people in my field using this knowledge. . . . @davidnkt1951 @mytpi #nkt #mytpi #tpi #tpilas #sfma #movement #fms #neurokinetictherapy #bodynerd #tcm #tcmnerd #orthopedics #motorcontrol #fascia #ancientchinesesecret #golfmedicine #golfscience #holistichealth #biotensegrity #unique #skills
