In the field of Manual Therapy, there are many techniques used to treat people in pain. These techniques involve pushing, pulling, and twisting skin and soft tissue. DNM uses techniques that change the state of the nervous system in the skin, spinal cord and brain to make it less painful and reactive.

Studies have demonstrated that touch has significant psychological and physiological impacts, with the nervous system regulating these effects. To effectively use Manual Therapy as a pain treatment, it's important to comprehend pain physiology through a social, biological, and psychological perspective. Research has indicated that establishing a non-threatening treatment environment for the patient is vital.

The skin is closely tied to the nervous system, which makes up around 2% of our body weight but uses 20% of our O2 and glucose at all times. Nerves do not respond well to sustained mechanical deformation, specifically compression and stretch. Dermoneuromodulating is a method that considers the nervous system of the patient to treat from "skin cell to sense of self." Techniques are usually light, and holds are slow.

DNM is a form of personalized manual care that targets nervous system signals to reduce discomfort and pain. This approach involves collaboration between therapist and patient to alleviate tenderness and improve well-being. Regardless of the damage in the affected area, DNM can effectively reduce pain.

The term DNM Stands for Dermo (skin), Neuro (nervous system) Modulation (a change from one state to another). It is a method of manual therapy/massage therapy used to change the state of the nervous system from a painful hyperactive state to a less painful and reactive one through receptors in the skin.

In Manual Therapy (MT), hundreds of techniques and methods attempt to approach treating people in pain. These maneuvers' speed, duration and force may differ, but the underlying mechanistic effects all follow the same rules. They can all agree that we push, pull and twist skin directly and soft tissue indirectly.

Lately, there has been considerable growth in research around the mechanisms of massage and other manual therapies, with a drift into the neuroscience involved in pain.

Two processes seem to be apparent when we look at the research: 

First, the effects of touch have strong psychological and physiological effects. 

The nervous system controls these effects. 

If we use Manual Therapy as a treatment for pain resolution, we should look at understanding pain physiology within a social, biological and psychological framework. 

What we know from studying the non-specific effects of physical medicine is that we should strive for a treatment environment that creates the least amount of threat to the person being treated; therefore, We should act, dress and keep the treatment space in a way that won’t put the patient on the defensive. 

We know that we touch the skin primarily in manual therapy and that the skin is intimately tied into the nervous system embryologically as both arrive from the ectoderm. 

We know that the Nervous System makes up around 2% of our body by weight but uses 20% of our O2 and Glucose at all times.

The nervous system carries impulses from the peripheral (and from within), which are processed in the spinal cord and Brain to create an output response. If the impulses are deemed dangerous enough, the output is pain. 

We know that pain is a complex process that depends on contextual, psychological and biological factors that mostly happen without our conscious perception and that pain can’t happen without a nervous system. 

The human body has 72 kilometres of nerves, intimately connected to the vascular system millimetre by millimetre.

Nerves do not respond well to sustained mechanical deformation, specifically, compression more than stretch.

Dermoneuromodulating is a method that attempts to take these facts as an underlying framework for an interactive, hands-on approach to treating the experience of pain. It considers the nervous system of the patient to treat from “skin cell to sense of self.” Techniques are usually light, and holds are slow. Limbs and trunk are positioned to affect deeper nerve structures in combination with skin stretch. This is done to potentially shorten and widen a nerve's container, thus reducing mechanical deformation of the nerve. 

DNM is a method of manual care that puts the patient and their needs first. Instead of operating a recipe treatment, the treatment is an interaction between the patient and the therapist. The therapist and patient work together to find the areas that need attention and remove the tenderness and pain felt in that area. The focus is on changing the signalling within the nervous system to decrease discomfort. Pain does not happen in the muscles and other tissue but in the nervous system itself; therefore, whether or not the area of pain is damaged, we can reduce that pain with DNM.

I put it to you that Scaphiophryne marmorata is peak frog.

Why?

Well first, it's pretty round, which is key.

Now get a load of those fingers.

Big, expanded discs at the end, ideal for climbing.

But what's happening back there with those toes? No discs there. Those are good for walking and hopping around on the ground.

Now, let's gently turn them over

First, excellent tum, 17 out of 10, no notes.

But what's that at the base of the foot? Those big projections? Yep, those are spades. This climbing, hopping frog is an excellent digger!

I like to think of these Scaphiophryne as all-terrain frogs. They're basically good at everything. They defy our categorical labels of 'arboreal', 'terrestrial', or 'fossorial', and say 'por qué no los tres?'—but in Malagasy, so 'nahoana no tsy izy telo?'

[mindblowingscience]

If you do a web search for "back pain and posture," you'll be met with articles about the effects of poor posture on the body, guides telling you how to reduce your back pain with posture exercises, and ads for all kinds of posture-correcting back braces and ergonomic devices. It seems to make sense. After all, we've been told that good posture makes us healthier and less susceptible to injury, and that bad posture leads to aches and pains down the line.  But several researchers and clinicians say that there's not much evidence to support commonly held beliefs that bad posture leads to pain.

i feel like bridget and red both have like crippling knee, back and just like pain everytime they’re in auradon, but it’s really bad when they first arrive OR they feel super weird and light every they got to auradon and bounce off the walls and shit and then they got back to wonderland and that’s when everything hurts

cause wonderland is underneath auradon so the gravity is probably slightly different ( or a lot different cause it’s wonderland idk ) and so it affects their bodies a ton

Buff Lyf, btw. You agree.

[ID: Two drawings of Lyfrassir Edda. In the first drawing, they’re shown from the thighs up. They have a confused and dead-eyes expression on their face, they’re frowning slightly. One of their hands is raised to their chest, a finger pointing away from them. They’re resting on their cane. In the second drawing, Lyf is startled and jumps back, arms raised, ears pivoted back like a scared cat. An orange tabby octokitten is at their feet.

In both drawings, Lyf is wearing a striped black button down shirt, and a black dress. End ID.]

NOTE: if you used to be able to do these, but cannot because of PAIN (not because you got older, children are more flexible in general) then add those points regardless.

Chronic pain is defined as a pain that has been going for three months or longer. This applies to repetitive stress injuries. Hit yes regardless of what causes your pain, i am willing to accept that error in results.

A 50-year-old Swedish woman who lost her hand in a farming accident has been fitted with a cutting-edge prosthesis that has proved transformational. The bionic hand is based on revolutionary technology that connects directly to a user's bones, muscles, and nerves – creating a human-machine interface that allows AI to translate brain signals into precise yet simple movements. The woman who received the bionic hand, Karin (whose full name is undisclosed), now has a limited sense of touch and can move all five of her bionic fingers individually with a success rate of 95 percent. After two decades of living without a right hand, she can now carry out 80 percent of her usual daily activities, like preparing food, picking up objects, zipping and unzipping clothes or bags, and turning door knobs or screws. What's more, after receiving the prosthetic hand, Karin's excruciating phantom pain, which she said felt as though her hand was going through a meat grinder, decreased significantly.
