Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Muscle guarding, and so on. Facebook thread started by Taylor Sun, in Skeptical Massage Therapists group. What follows is my reply:). I think this is a great question. I have many thoughts on it. In no particular order:. 5 A nociceptive input doesn't even have to reach the brain before it will be dealt with reflexively by the spinal cord. (E.g., touch a hot stove by accident and the han...6 Nocicep...

HumanAntiGravitySuit: December 2014
http://humanantigravitysuit.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Friday, December 26, 2014. On being badass, when called for. I have a little horror story to share. File under, "No matter what, do the right thing, and be badass if it's called for.". The story goes like this: me, age 30-ish, working in a hospital. Chugging along, routine ortho rotation. Three months of respite from all the other routine rotations. I ask, can you tell me what the problem is with your arm? I say, really!

HumanAntiGravitySuit: February 2015
http://humanantigravitysuit.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Adventures with Air France. So, I was invited to go to Spain and teach a workshop on the east coast by the Mediterranean Sea, in a small city called Tavernes, near Valencia. Where the most delicious oranges in the world grow. But I am getting ahead of myself. The company that hired me was INSTEMA. That a photographer took for the company. I chose to hold the food down and the wine glass up....

HumanAntiGravitySuit: November 2014
http://humanantigravitysuit.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Friday, November 28, 2014. I moved my office this week to a new location, patients booked for Monday morning. This morning (Friday) it's all about the phone/internet install. The installer showed up at 8am, as did I. full of anticipation that the process would be relatively quick and painless. Not so quick and painless after all. Luckily I can kill time here at home until 9:30 rolls around, in about an hour from now.

HumanAntiGravitySuit: Pain and stress in a systems perspective
http://humanantigravitysuit.blogspot.com/2015/03/pain-and-stress-in-systems-perspective.html
Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Friday, March 06, 2015. Pain and stress in a systems perspective. Today Ian Stevens sent me a link to an old paper (old by publishing metrics) from 2008, Pain and stress in a system's perspective. It's open access and a joy to read, the way it describes the connectivity of systems within a multi-cellular organism such as ourselves. The paper has this to say about glial cells:. Including the spread of pain. I regret to say...

HumanAntiGravitySuit: March 2015
http://humanantigravitysuit.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. How I cut myself some slack and fixed my TMJ syndrome. When I say I cut myself some slack, I don't mean I pushed aside all care and responsibility and went on a holiday or anything like that. I mean, I cut myself some physical slack. Let me digress for a moment. I'm happy to report not only was the jaw thing mostly gone by the next day, but a bunch of other naggy wee bits and pieces also disappear...

HumanAntiGravitySuit: "Like a bridge over diagnosis"
http://humanantigravitysuit.blogspot.com/2015/04/like-bridge-over-diagnosis.html
Views of a naturalist professional human primate social groomer and neuromatrician. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Like a bridge over diagnosis". Or, if you prefer, Like a Bridge Overdiagnosis. Anyway, this link crossed my path, about how verbs of clinical observation are turned into "nouns" of diagnosis, and how this can be a real disservice. Because as soon as an event or a verb or a set of symptoms floating by in awareness are turned into a "noun" that has a "name" it is then regarded by our human brains as.
