Friends and Colleagues,

I have been hoping to see appropriate pharmaceutical preparations
developed that support and enhance myofascial manipulation sessions.
For example there is Relaxin, a female hormone secreted by the corpus
luteum that helps soften the cervix and relax the pelvic ligaments in
childbirth.

Why not develop a short-acting time-released version of Relaxin? A
lot of the hard work of connective tissue manipulation is necessary
because the hard stuff that binds and holds people together is warped
and needs to be changed. If the 'set' of collagen could be chemically
pre-softened, the practitioner would have a lot less hard work to do
to create somatic transformation. Structural Integration
practitioners know from simple direct palpation that pregnant people
have soft, easy to change tissue.

Perhaps the pharmaceutical industry would be encouraged to explore
this area if it were pointed out that this kind of 'medication' would
dramatically enhance work with scars.

Anybody out there have connections in the much-maligned but ever-so-
potentially-effective pharmaceutical industry? It would be easy to
show them that we can create dramatic changes in human structure.
Might they be interested in augmenting our process and procedures?
