2 live seminars in Seattle, WA:  SMRT:  Thigh & Knee, May 9th and 10th, and SMRT: Lower Leg & Foot, May 10th & 11th.  Each course is NCBTMB approved for 12 CE hours.  In the Thigh & Knee course, you will learn to instantly soften IT bands, painlessly remove adhesions and tension from adductors, release ligaments of the iliofemoral joint to mobilize the femur and knee, and work with chondromalacia, ACL replacements, MCL and LCL injuries, etc. In the Lower Leg & Foot course, instruction will be given in how to balance gastrocnemius, alleviate shin splints, lessen lymphedema, remove chronic ankle inflammation, release ligaments in the talocrural joint for natural realignment, and work with plantar faciitis and tarsal tunnel syndrome.  Get more information or register at http://efullcircle.com/class-schedule/

        Last night I woke up as 4 a.m., as I do most nights.  I was on my right side and my hand was asleep.  In my half conscious state I evaluated my hand.  I felt that it was the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger that were numb.  My brain told me that these were carpal tunnel symptoms and meant an impingement on the median nerve.  Still mostly asleep, I evaluated my wrist.  My wrist was straight.  I pulled my shoulder down out of my ear.  The numbness began to subside immediately.  My elbow was in full flexion.  I relaxed the position and brought my forearm toward extension a couple of inches.  The numbness went away completely and I went back to sleep.  The median nerve can be impinged upon in numerous areas, including the carpal tunnel, the forearm, the elbow, and the medial upper arm.  If you would like to know how to treat carpal tunnel, please join me for a webinar on "Treating Carpal Tunnel".  Hit the Tools For Touch link on our website - http://efullcircle.com/

        Had a client yesterday whose sacrum was killing her.  She could hardly move.  She also could not take any pressure and did not really want her sacrum to be touched.  I worked through the sheet and blanket, and did Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique by itself.  When it prompted some myofascial unwinding, I went with that.  I followed the pain as it moved from place to place.  It started in her sacrum and then moved into her lower back, then into her lower hip, then to the anterior thigh, then into psoas, and finally back to the sacrum.  When she got up to get dressed, she says she could bend over and, well, put her underwear on.  Apparently that had been a real problem for a while.  Her pain was a 1 where it had been a 12.  Love the fact that SMRT can create such significant change so easily and quickly, and besides staying present with her body, I hardly had to do anything.  If you would like to learn to do this, come to Winter Park, FL the beginning of April.  Register at http://efullcircle.com/class-schedule/

        Stories about the SMRT Shoulder, Axilla, Ribcage, & Upper Back class:  in 2013, we had some wonderful things happen in this class.  I had a woman who had taken the course in 2012 sign up in Billings, MT in 2013.  When I asked her why she was taking the course again after such a short time, she told me "I messed up my shoulder, had all kinds of treatments, nothing is helping, I knew I could get it fixed in this class."  I was amused, and her shoulder did get fixed.  In that Billings course there was another woman in class who lacked confidence.  She did not think she was doing well, did not think she was understanding the information.  She registered and took the SMRT: Hips, Lower Back, & Abdomen course in Seattle a few months later.  She was supposed to be working on her partner's hips, but she saw that the woman's floating ribs were rotated and immobile.  Utilizing the training she received in Billings, she aligned and mobilized the floating ribs in 5 minutes.  5 minutes!!  She glowed with confidence.  It was a lovely sight.  This is the course we will be teaching in Minnesota the end of April - http://efullcircle.com/class-schedule/

        I am prepping to shoot another webinar for Tools For Touch!  This time it will be "Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome".  I have been preparing the course in my head for 2 weeks now.  Some of what you would learn if you were to sign up for the webinar:  how to instantly release opponens pollicis and opponens digiti minimi to soften the transverse carpal ligament, how to release the ligaments in the intercarpal joints to allow realignment of the carpal bones, how to quickly release the muscle attachments of the medial elbow to interrupt any median nerve impingement at the elbow, and more.

        Hope you will join us!  http://efullcircle.com/

        I just got another email from a woman whose father had surgery, sinus surgery in this case, and has been on a catheter, unable to urinate on his own, for a year.  People have had fantastic success with the self help video on our website on how to restore bladder function after surgery.  The work is so easy, they can do it on each other, but they prefer real therapists do the work.

        This means we need to teach it to more people.  I never realized how widespread this problem was.  We get emails from all over the world from people who are desperate for help.  The ones who try the SMRT work have great results, but some have no one who can do the work for them or their people do not feel they could do the work.

        This week alone I have gotten 3 emails on this issue.  I sent one to a student in NC, one to a student in AZ, and the other is the woman mentioned above, who is in WV.  I will have to do my best to coach her through email and hope she is willing to do the work on her father herself.

        This is only one of the amazing things that will be taught in the SMRT: Hips, Lower Back, & Abdomen course in Winter Park, FL on April 4-6, 2014.  http://efullcircle.com/class-schedule/
