Excuse me I made a mistake meant to say Cyriax Cross Fiber Friction.

You're preachin' to the choir, Draco, my friend. I just saw a news clip about an OHSU doc who was preforming surgery on broken ribs now (which I feel is absolutely ridiculous). A friend of mine came to me because she was in pain from three broken ribs after a climbing incident. I used cranial and myofascial tech. to ease the intercostals in the area, balace the ribcage within its fascial, and calm the sympathetic enervation to the area. She was 80% pain-free the next day and wanted to start working out again a week later.

This sort of thing is even more prevalent with pharmacology. The needless antibiotics, analgesics, steroids and the like, that are given to those who could just as easily healed themselves if given the proper work to bring their bodies naturally back into balance. And this addiction to the quick fix, this belief that meds are the answer, is just as much the publics fault as it is the fault of the docs and big pharm. Don't get me wrong; I've seen the right drug save lives, but we need to spread the awareness that much of what people seek a doctor for can be treated by a LMT, chiro, etc.
