Whoever works on you do not let them crack or pop anything, especially your neck, it’s more damage than a cure. My MAT specialist doesn’t do anything like that. 3 weeks before I seen him I went to massage therapist and he decided to crack my neck. I didn’t feel good at all and had severe headaches after that. I went to chiro same thing, electrical modalities, ultrasound and cracking. The results were very very poor.
MAT specialist that I found knows 750 muscles in your body and 350 bones. He works by charts and activates muscles that are responsible for your injury. It was like seeing egyptian anatomist from BCE.
I didn’t even have to tell him where is the problem. He finds it by touch. He works with circus performers, gymnasts, acrobats, hockey players. His focus is to make your body functional or sometimes hyperfunctional if there is a need in a short period of time. If he cant work with trauma, or feels it’s not gonna respond to his approach, he will tell honestly right away instead of playing God doctor as all of these quacks I’ve gone to especially chinese medicine doctor. -
That’s Interesting. I have been getting adjusted for the last 6 months once a month I’d not more and it doesn’t seem to be getting better, but I wasn’t doing anything outside of pole and yoga to nuture. I guess I always blame myself when things don’t work because that’s been a mentality I’ve had all my life. Now I see I am doing enough, just need to prioritze. The therapist I will see barely touched me the other day and I swooned. And shrieked in a lovely painful release. Of course it was me sitting up waiting for chiro she checked me out. Kept going back to the right shoulder and saying uh huh uh huh. Funny how they talk directly to the body with those magical fingers. Our antennas of sorts. So I also have been having more and New lower back pain and neck pain since seeing the chiro…. I hate to think they dont fix me because they want more money. But who am I kidding greed runs most shows. So this lady is healer of sorts, I feel it when she’s near. May sounds crazy to the non energetically concerned person but at this point in my journey I am learning to trust my Intuition. Its always right. Boy do I pay dearly when I don’t listen. So I think I’ll take some time off the chiro and do this pt and massage along with my shakti acupressure mat and I just know I am ready fort his pain to leave me. I am not my pain or emotions but good grief they can take the wheel! Your story and Information is appreciated 🙂

OMG that is a horrifying story about the massage therapist cracking your neck…massage therapists should absolutely never crack people’s necks (it is very illegal to do so in the U.S.) and yeah in general I try not to go to chiropractors that snap or pop, it’s rarely necessary and like you said can do more harm than good

Crazy stuff. The first gentle chiro would tape me immediately and I did feel some relief he 2nd gentle chiropractor I went to when I dislocated my ribs seemed like a nut, she charges me several hundred the first visit and I received no gain, besides her looking at me all weird like 🙂 she was out of business within a couple month of my visit and she gave me the run around about how I’m mot using her technique to my benefit .. My response. Couple hundred dollars is all I can spend at a time and with no relief why is would I continue. It seems like a very low way to tell me why I got 0 relief. Because I didn’t spend more than 400$ in 2 visits. Phew. I think I’ll stick to my roller and roller accessories for now, maybe a hang from The hammock 🙂

@zoilife6233 I am so glad you like your MAT practitioner! I love mine too. He really listens and pays attention to all my many little aches and pains and genuinely seems to want to figure them all out. Most doctors, etc. glaze over by the second or third thing I mention. Wish I had started seeing him sooner.

Acupuncturists, as with any practitioner, have all skill levels. It’s important to ask where they were trained, how long they have been practicing, how many cases like yours they treat, etc. I have been having weekly acupuncture for years and it absolutely works for anything from backs to menopause. He comes to the house, sets the table up in my living room with a full body heating pad and it’s fabulous. I put on meditation music and meditate while he goes in the other room and reads a book, then he takes the needles out. Chinese medicine diagnoses are not the same as western medical diagnoses, btw, but he can nail it just by taking my pulse and looking at me. The only downside is I tend to overdue it because I know he will fix whatever damage I do. 🙂

Now that you mention it I have to say I did inquire with a number of doctors including family physician and sports medicine doctor about use of acupuncture in my case and decided not to go ahead with it. I’m a pharmacist myself and it is very obvious for me which treatment or course is more appropriate, same with meds.
Acupuncture will block the pain via nerve passages and will reset pain receptors level which will be tolerable or non-existent for sometime. It doesn’t change the nature of your injury and doesn’t prevent it from reoccurring. In athletic sense the use of it is limited.
I chose MAT because the specialist was able to identify the root of the problem, corrected and secure it from reoccurring, also enhanced the muscle function at the same time. So it’s not a temporary fix and gets you back where you left. I was able to assess it as the most efficient and economical. Unless it is a bone fracture or rupture of a muscle, MAT is a deal for active people with sports injuries because of it anatomical and practical knowledge and application
As for diagnostic methodology I prefer verification by X-rays, ultrasound, lab tests and thorough med check by MD as a conformation on any pulse reading, iridology, palm reading, etc. Im trained in Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Nutrition as well. So Im familiar with methods, remedies and preventative medicine as a whole. Each case is different and we have to resort to our best options out there avoiding mistakes and high costs -
Hmmmm, interesting interpretation of acupuncture. Acupuncture is definitely not comparable to palm reading. My practitioner is a doctor of acupuncture who attended formal training at New England School of Acupuncture. Actually recommended by my MD. Remember, “modern medicine” as we know it has only been around for a couple hundred years. The Chinese have been using Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It isn’t for everyone but the right trained professional can certainly achieve results.
