We have been using various lasers over the years, and our most recent upgrade gives us access to even faster results. I first bought a laser 10 years ago, while healing from a clavicle fracture – the healing time was greatly reduced, and I had very little pain just 24h after the injury.…
This mobility video is one of my new favorites – we needed a way to help patients release chronic tightness in the upper and lower Thoracic spine, as well as the Lumbar and SI region. This routine does it all, and does it well! The magic is in the relative motion you get in between the deep layer and the superficial layers – you can feel your spine relaxing as…
