You talked about seminar one, just give us a quick overview of two through five, and then we’ll end with that, and then we’ll pick up on that in the next interview.

Alan Bonebrake – Teaching Chiropractor – Plano, Texas

Okay. Number two deals with scar tissue. Now, there are other seminars that deal with scar tissue, and I’ve basically taken all of them, okay? One is transverse friction massage. It was first taught by James Syriax, an MD. Another one is ART, taught by Dr. Leahy, and he’s a chiropractor out of Colorado Springs. It’s called Active Release Technique.

And others are basically trigger point therapy and but, and I got certified in the Nimmo technique, okay? And the thing that bothered me was the amount of pain that was involved in how many treatments. Because, by the way, there’s another one, Graston, who sells these enormously expensive tools. And Leahy says right in his seminar, it takes 4 to 6 visits to clear out a muscle of scar tissue, so it works right. Graston says 6 to 10 with his. Syriacs said you have to have a really strong therapist and it takes 10 to 20 minutes per visit, 10 to 20 visits to clear out scar tissue out of a single muscle.

And yeah, and those were all very painful. And you know, I used Nemo and it was painful. And so, but it’s in the back of my mind, how can I do this a lot quicker with a lot less pain? And that’s what I came up with. Okay. And so, it’s way different.

So, second one is scar tissue and rehabilitation. Now to rehab somebody properly, you have to break up the scar tissue and then you have to get rid of atrophy. And the first things that I teach in that seminar for example, is how to easily test over 200 muscles in less than 10 minutes, lightly touch one spot on one muscle, and all the muscles come strong immediately.

The only exception being if there’s a lot of atrophy in a given muscle, and if there is, it’s usually one muscle in the foot, and that just takes a little longer to go. Second thing I teach people to do is to palpate the whole body for painful areas, i.e. trigger points. It takes about 5 minutes, and I show them how to lightly touch one spot just like that, and immediately there’s no pain to pressure anymore.

So, this saves strengthening each muscle over a vast period of time, and you’re just doing it all at once, and taking care of trigger points one by one. And so, then you’re only left with the scar trigger points. And I show people out of rehab people in about 1/4 of the time that it normally takes. And I pull it right out of the medical literature, all of this. Okay?

Now the one touch thing, I reasoned. The rehab stuff, a lot of it I reasoned, a lot of it I pull out of literature and it’s just stuff that isn’t generally known.
