BodyTalk with David Lesondak

I met Charlie at the 2022 Fascia Research Congress. He invited me onto his podcast, and I immediately knew I'd have to return the favor. He story will both inspire and enlighten. Enjoy!

We talk about what "embodiment" means, the ego building and demolishing aspects of becoming an author, and I unexpectedly reveal some vulnerabilities.

I think everybody in the Structural Integration community knows Liz Stewart. She sure knows them. What you don't know is how she is expanding her mission for supervision into the global community, starting with those effected by the war in Ukraine.

Back in April I was at the 2022 Experimental Biology Conference in Philadelphia, and recorded a podcast there with Helene Langevin, Neil Theise, Antonio Stecco, Lauri Nemetz, and Rebecca Pratt. If you missed it you can listen to it here. But something else happened too, and this is that something else. After the formal presentation and Q&A were over, a number of people came up to ask those assembled additional questions. At some point in dawned on me that I was missing recording some great stuff, so I turned on my phone and slipped it onto to the conference table. What you hear today on BodyTalk is the result of that. The audio is as good as I could realize it, the volume is consistent and clear. I did have to substitute my voice for the guests who were commenting and questioning, as they did not know they were being recorded. 

So sit back and enjoy as 2 of our top scientist/thinkers ideate in real time, on this special episode of BodyTalk.

Dr. Paul Mettler has been practicing physical therapy for 40 years. When he began working as a physical therapist, he was often frustrated and discouraged by the lack of functional improvement and long-term results of my patients using the standard myofascial, physical or manipulation therapies. Dr. Mettler discovered a way to rapidly identify and undo the damage caused by the inflammatory process in 1991. He originated a manual physical therapy method, to restructure (or restore) the scar tissue that connects injured tissue without causing further injury. This innovative technique originally called the Mettler Release Technique® or MRT® has been successfully used on over 20,000 patients over the past 25 years. Dr. Mettler decided to rename the technique to Dermal-Fascial Restoration® or DFR® in 2018 as technology had advanced to image restoration of the skin and fascia. Using High Frequency Shear Wave Elastography imaging, DFR has been shown to reduce skin and fascial stiffness. Drs. Mettler and Schroder  presented  these findings atthe Fourth International Fascia Research Congress in 2015 and it was awarded 2nd place for clinical usefulness. Dr. Mettler was awarded the  winning poster at the 2022 ICMT conference. He has been accepted to do an oral presentation at the 2022 Fascia Research Congress in Montreal, Canada.

DFR, in combination with other therapies, can provide outstanding long-term relief from symptoms such as chronic muscle aching and stiffness, limited joint mobility, post – op surgical scars and stiffness and other symptoms by rapidly restoring the health and circulation of the affected area without creating further injury.

We have an epidemic of chronic pain with addiction to pain medication. Many of my patients, colleagues and the greater medical community need to further invest in DFR evaluation and treatment. We feel it is very important to the assessment and treatment in overall management of musculoskeletal impairments. It is drug-free, non-invasive and cost-effective manual therapy with proven results for prevention and treatment of a wide range of injuries.

We have created a number of in depth presentations for DFR over the years, and through them you will get a deep look at the DFR program, starting with the science. We are excited to announce our 2022-2023 DFR Therapy IPTA approval for 14 CE (6 on-line and 8 hands-on) visit us for more info at dfrtherapy.com

Today we talk to the President of the Fascia Research Society, Mark Driscoll, about the upcoming 2022 Fascia Research Congress in Montreal, Quebec, Canada this September. We also talk about his background in engineering and how he got involved in fascia research (SPOILER: he attended the first Fascia Research Congress in 2007 as a student!).

We both hope to see you in person in Montreal! You can register for the congress here
