Brian, my wife died of cancer not long after I took her to a cancer clinic in Mexico, run by Americans that couldn't get the treatment approved in the US. 3 licensed doctors told her that it would be a waste of time and that she needed to follow her oconologists recommendations and get proper treatment.

Could she have done both options simultaneously?
Ronny my first love died a painful death to pancreatic cancer at 35 while following the doctors recommendations and not adding in the psychotherapy and nutritional supplements I know are needed to have a chance. I've also seen cancer patients and drug addicts cured to remission with psychotherapy alone. (Some of them quite famous and some who were deemed unhelpable by major MDs). Others did chemo and their primary stresses were relieved, so together it stopped (my step dad for one).

Michelle ran a doctors office for years, and I know many doctors. They are honestly trained to act like know-it-alls and to see 35-40 per day in 15 minute windows (when they could be learning abobut Body Work.) They must also learn 5000 symptoms, ailments and drug treatments to graduate. They are in bed with the Pharmaceuticals. Drug Rep lunches are weekly, and fancy dinners are monthly. 99% of MDs ignore the warnings in the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) and over prescribe. They are too busy in school to learn anything outside the box in most cases. So trust them? No.
They know nothing about the cause of cancer either. It's a repression illness, psychological at root and related to how family systems express emotion and are socialized to acceptable emotional release. The physical manifestations become a passed down trait just as the behaviours that make cancer more likely are passed down. Then it becomes a physical part of us, but it begins in repression.
And body pain? It's about misuse. MDs know nothing of the bodys physical workings as a moving thing, it's outside of their training. A psychical therapist OTOH is going to give therapy, not identify or heal the misuse issue. That requires intelligent use and a body worker who knows the joints, muscles and bones in question. Amazingly to you, I know these better than 95% of MDs, thus the request for photos.
And emotional blockages? These require a wise person and an open minded patient. Again ... been there, done that too, on both sides.
I mean really, did you click the links I offered or just get upset from your past and start typing away?
Back to the topic:

This is 100% misinformation. Physical habits are not see able or breakable on our own. It's too subtle and too easy to repeat any action (that does not kill us.)
Ever tried to quit smoking? Gum or candy helps but it's hard. Habits are tough when they are easy to spot ... misuse is a SUBTLE bad habit that is impossible to work on alone in most cases.

I would still see someone that is specialized in these matters and American Medical Association approved,

The AMA is a crock for this and MDs are NOT specialized in body mechanics. Sorry but in new pain cases like this and many advanced cases, they're no help.
You admittedly know nothing about body work, you have only the pains of your experience, and I'm sorry for those. But there are people with international experience in this field and I chose to post here from that angle after giving up on this board for just these types of condescending critiques.
I responded to Tom as he was in real pain in an area I know well and have deep training nad experience in (did I mention that I have 40 degree scoliosis and back pain daily, and that my MD missed it even though the middle school saw it and sent me to him?)
I posted as an experienced body worker only to get more grief. Yikes. I was going to offer to drive up to see him (2 hours north) but I thought a photo would be easier for me right now and if a dialogue ensued I could visit later to take care of it for sure. A misuse injury is not brian surgery, to use the old phrase.

Nothing just "happens" to our bodies, it's all cause and effect, TMJ, even Cancer.

I'm not familiar with Barbra or Alexander methods but I highly doubt that they know how to prevent TCS better than a physical therapist.

Well you're admittedly ignorant, and you have some baggage on the subject ... but lets admit that and stay right there.

I don't know anyone that has gone to them and not to a doctor and was cured, so I'll take your word on that, but when you "automatically" advise someone that has a medical condition not to go to a doctor without someone qualified to examine the person, you are taking their health into your own hands.
|
What makes you think a MD is "qualified"?
And Tom's is not a "medical condition" at this point ... it's either misuse or an unconscious emotional energy blockage in the arm/wrist.
I'm confident "taking their health in my hands", yet only if they accept that help as many people have before. I'm not some opinionated wacko brother. I've been sought out and paid to do body work, marriage counselling, psychotherapy and many things that are far more serious that this!
I know what I'm doing or I wouldn't have bothered to post. I cant express how rude and discouraging it was of you to assume otherwise and to chide as if you are some authority. You OTOH are overreacting from your own painful experience, and again, I'm sorry to hear that.
