    Re: little help with a leg injury?

    Hi clinicserver,

    Thank you for posting. We are all busy people so we understand your position.

    Personally i would be happy to try EFT. Like i said, i think it will help a lot of people.

    However, the point of "debate" has been whether EFT can help *ALL* restricted ROM issues. I can appreciate how Newtonian physics has been shown by quantum physics not to be applicable in all situations however i think i would be correct in saying Newtonian physics apply on Earth nearly 99.9% of the time - the other plies close to the speed of light. In the same way, it is likely that a stump of the ACL is physically blocking and causing a restriction. Scar tissue and fibrosis is likely to cause the mechanical properties of the surrounding tissues to change. etc etc.

    Therefore, EFT is very useful when seeking to change the input into the central nervous system associated with certain emotions and motor patterns - you are seeking to break a cycle. However, it simply cannot account for ALL restricted ROM issues.

    Wouldn't a more reasonable statement be that "EFT may help a significant amount of soft tissue restrictions"??

    Thanks

    What about a politeus injury? This will change the knee movements and as so could well effect nerves. another localised problem area could be syndesmosis of tibia/fibula.

    Re: little help with a leg injury?

    I respect your opinion we may be engaging in symmantics at this point.
    What about Garjagan?
