The Achilles Tendon and the Plantar Fascia are connected anatomically by something they call the S-Link. 

Biomechanically they end up being very similar in how they get injured and how they should be treated for lasting results.

I got to see both women who had what I thought was ACNES and was able to hear what happened after treatment.

I also have now been using the Moti Physio for about 7 weeks and have learned how to improve the accuracy of the scan.

Here are a couple cases where the scan was useful for many reasons.

I removed last week's episode because I made too many errors in talking about red leads and black leads on e-stim devices.

This episode covers the difference between Direct Current and Alternating Current, the advantages of each and the safety reasons for Electric Stimulation Acupuncture devices to be AC Biphasic.

I talk about the differences between the Pointers, the ITO ES-130 and the Pantheon and a little about microcurrent.

Not all electric stimulation is the same. 

There is a good reason electric stimulation devices produce a biphasic alternating current instead of a direct current. 

I went down a rabbit hole on this and I'm going to take you with me. 

NOTE: at one point I misspoke and said "black lead" when I meant "red lead". Black lead is negative and goes on the motor point. Red is positive and can go on the motor point or something else.

For the most part, the research comparing Moti Physio to the gold standard EOS 3D X-ray was very good. There were a couple areas that were only rated at Fair and I have my opinion about why that was. 

Chiropractors may still need an X-ray before treatment, but then there's huge value to using Moti regularly (no radiation) for monitoring.

Here are my thoughts for Functional Acupuncturists after another week of using the Moti Physio.

The paper I looked at most was:

Validity and Reliability of a Non-Radiographic Postural Analysis

It can be very distressing to have a fixed pain in the abdomen that feels like an internal organ pain and after all the tests, no one knows what to do about it.

ACNES should be known by everyone who treats pain.

I covered this in 2025 in my Sydney course. "Unlock the Mystery of Chronic Pain"
