Rapid NeuroFascial Reset is the primary tool that I use to treat what I find in my neurokinetic therapy assessments. Rapid involves movement on the part of the client in order for to release the tissue that surrounds the bone, a pin and stretch move.

Releasing periosteum, the tissue that surrounds the bone,  gets rid of pain and dysfunction at the level of what is called the mechanoreceptors in the fascia.  Traditional myofascial release as you already know it, releases the superficial fascia that surrounds the muscles.  Rapid releases the deep fascia that surrounds the bones. 

By working at the level of the mechanoreceptors, clients are experiencing more symptom relief and better motor control than they have with traditional deep tissue work such as neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy and superficial myofascial release.  If you think of a totem pole, the mechoreceptors are higher up on the totem pole than muscular fascia and muscles when it comes to long term pain relief.

With Rapid, I am also able to release ligaments.  Restricted ligaments alone can create pain and dysfunction, nerve entrapment and pull joints out of alignment.  I sometimes find them compensating for muscles in my neurokinetic therapy assessments. 

Clients have reported longer lasting results with Rapid than what they have received with releasing trigger points and superficial fascia.

Tissues releasing faster with Rapid than with muscles, taking up less time to release.

Symptoms of tight periosteum:

-Reduced range of motion

-Muscle weakness and tightness

-Compensation

-Nerve entrapments-numbness or tingling

-Pain

Significant relief that people have experienced with Rapid can include:

-Sciatica

-Neuropathy

-Arthritis-Rapid can relieve joint pain

-Bunions

-Plantar Fasciitis

-TMJ

-Shoulder pain and restricted range of motion

-Shin Splints

-Knee pain (rapid can work at the level of the knee capsules)

-Sprains

-Migraines

-Frozen Shoulder

-Radiculopathy

-Carpal Tunnel

-Thoracic Outlet Symptoms (without the extra rib)

-Hand and Wrist Pain

-Shoulder Pain and restricted range of motion

-Neck Pain and restricted range of motion

-Vertigo

-Tinnitus

The honest feedback that I have been given by clients ever since I started using Rapid, instead of working at the level of the muscles and superficial fascia, is that they are getting more symptom relief and better motor control and the results are lasting longer.

This is a fully clothed treatment.  Shorts or yoga pants are best.  My fingers slip on regular pants such as slacks and jeans.

Some examples of success stories:

-One migraine client no longer gets migraines (his trigger was barometric pressure) and two other migraine clients are getting them less often with less severity.  Each of them were also receiving craniosacral therapy and tapping with me, in addition to Rapid.

-Two people with plantar fasciitis were completely pain free.  They needed multiple modalities, including the support that energy work provides to get there.  They both said they had tried almost everything else prior to seeing me without success.

-A knee client was no longer a knee client.  Prior to learning Rapid, we were still making a lot of progress with Voila and Neurokinetic Therapy.  Rapid finished off where the other techniques left off.  She used to see me once a month with some residual knee pain.  Now, she sees me once every 6 weeks for a maintenance tune up and no knee pain.

-As a professionally trained musician, I had right hand, wrist and thumb pain from playing the clarinet.  When I took my upper body Rapid course, I got some relief when the teacher worked directly in my thumb pad.  Later on that day, when he went to demo median nerve flossing (this is the nerve that is often irritated in carpal tunnel syndrome) I asked to be his demo for that.  I haven't felt my right thumb pain ever since he used that nerve flossing technique.  I have tried multiple techniques over the years and it always used to come back.

-A shoulder client stated that she got dramatic results after combining Rapid with Neurokinetic Therapy.  She went from not being able to lift patients and barely being able to put on her bra to feeling full function restore by the next day.  She was too excited to wait until her next appointment to tell me and sent me a long e-mail about it.

-A frozen shoulder client regained significant range of motion and said that her shoulder feels less sticky.

-Having Rapid on done on my shoulder blade area is the very first time that someone has been able to get into the deep areas of my shoulder that has been tight for years.

-Client diagnosed with frozen shoulder regained range of motion, no longer in pain and discharged by her doctor.  Her doctor had offered surgery as an option before I started doing Rapid for her frozen shoulder.  At her next visit after I worked with her for a month, he told her that she did not need surgery.

-Vertigo can often be from a misaligned jaw, putting pressure on the vagus nerve and vestibular system.  A client who has vertigo used to have to hold onto me when getting up off of the massage table.  After just working on her jaw once, she no longer needed to hold onto me when getting up.

-The only natural thing that has worked for my husband's migraines.  Other migraine clients are noticing significant improvement as well.
