Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hi Rick, I learned how to self test using the thumb and middle finger, which is a good thing, I could *never* get my little finger to touch my thumb on my left hand! lol Also, I just use the product held in the opposite hand and test for that. I do not get into the 'hocus-pocus' of saying the name of the product. If the test is strong, the body needs it, if not, it doesn't. I also test my husband for how many capsules. The myofascial sometimes is also known as 'trigger point' therapy. It has to do with the fascia coverings under the skin and over the muscles. If someone were to run the heel of their hand alongside their upper thigh, from the outside hip to the knee and do it fairly hard, when it hurts, [if it does] that is the tensor-fascia-latte, [fah-sha latta]. Here's to healthy fascia! Janine www.HerbaTherapy.com Prosperity is simply having God in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She showed me the difference, trigger point is a very gentle treatment for taking the knots out. The myofascial that she does is more at removing scar tissue and a stretching of all muscles throughout the body as well as removing the knots. Have you ever had your TMJ joint worked on? Find the area where the lower and upper jaws come together, and work a circular motion with your finger and some pressure, does it hurt? Yes, then it needs working on. Working on it, only makes it better, and helps remove the scar tissue. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
