little help with a leg injury?

[alophysio]

THanks Al for the information - i didn't think you were trying to sell anything, just that it may lok like it - some people do try to advertise that way on here...

So what you are saying (so i get this clear...) is that ALL negative emotions are caused by injury/physical blocks? I might have a problem with such a strong statement using the word ALL.

I don't have any doubt that emotions and physical injury / trauma etc are linked. In fact, this has been described for some time. I think you said earlier that you aren't a physiotherapist or other medical therapy. Perhaps you have heard of Waddell and his biopyschosocial model of pain? Or Lee/Vleeming et al's integrated model of function which has emotions as one part of the possible domains that need to be addressed (see attached).

Is EFT like NLP (neuro linguistic programming) in any way? EFT sounds like it uses kinaesthetic modalities to reorganise the processing of the emotions.

I know as a physio that people develop abnormal/dysfunctional/less efficient motor patterns often from just one event. It is not a stretch of imagination to consider that emotions get attached as part of that pattern.

Some questions if you wouldn't mind...

To use EFT, would you ask the patient to get materials and DIY or have us learn some or just refer off?

What is an example of using EFT - a case study you may be able to present relevant to this case perhaps?

Have you worked with any health professionals before?

Thanks

Hi ClinicServer,

We would be happy to learn more about EFT. I have tried going thru the link that you mentioned about tapping. And I think that am quite pretty open to any ideas as long as it benefits the patients. Forgot to mention that reiki also helped my patients eps. to those who are having arthritis.

Thanks ClinicServer for your post.

Cheers!!!

"The premise of EFT" is that ALL negative emotions are created by a blockage in the energy systems of the body. I really need to refer you to their website www.emofree.com as i don't have a lot of time to commit to forum minding. There is more info on that website than anyone could possibly absorb as the founder and other practitioners regularly post anecdotal testimonials (including several on knee injuries) through the search function. My goal was to offer a possibility of help to Garjang.

Practising EFT is simple in it's initial understanding and learning the basic steps. Dealing with people's emotions, feelings and illnesses, as you know requires creativity, compassion, study and excellent listening skills. I recommend anyone who considers themselves a healer should learn about this important tool for your tool kit and try it on everything. It doesn't hurt and I know it works.
