Percussion Fascial Release |

|
|
Percussion is a very effective method of releasing the tension or restriction of the fascia in the body. This technique was developed by Dr. Robert Fulford, an osteopathic doctor. I was trained by John Brimhall to do this technique. The fascia is the layer or membrane of connective tissue that covers all the muscles, organs, brain and spinal cord. Tension in the fascia can be caused by physical and emotional trauma or bad posture. Psychological and emotional traumas are often stored in the fascia. Restrictions in the fascia restrict the normal flow of blood and cerebral spinal fluid and perpetuate muscle and joint dysfunction. In this method, I use one hand to hold and control the fascia and the other hand uses an instrument called a Percussor (it looks like a big vibrator) to percuss the fascia until I feel it release.

I was in chronic pain and was having frequent migraines when I first saw Dr. Whittlesey. I have been to many specialists including, neurologists and orthopedic surgeons without relief or a solution. I heard about him from a friend who swore by him. Right away I was impressed by Dr. Whittlesey's friendly manner and professionalism. He seemed to know just what was causing my pain.
I felt better after my very first visit. After a few sessions my pain and headaches were completely gone. It has been a few years since my first appointment. Occasionally when I start to feel out of balance I return for treatment.
Dr. Whittlesey truly gave me my life back. "I highly recommend him to everyone who is in pain and is seeking relief.

Dr. Whittlesey has significantly decreased my chronic pain problems and also acute pain problems through his various modalities. He has also increased my understanding of my body and taught me methods to prevent problems. I also rely on him to reset my nervous system when I start to notice any balance problem. I highly recommend him for achieving optimum health.
