I have received a number of requests for a printable version of my
publication The Cylinder Model.   I must admit that, never having
made a printable version of a webpage, I was unprepared to respond.

Then, almost simultaneously with these requests, a colleague from
Switzerland, Diego Albertani, sent me a printable (.pdf) copy of my
article that he had made from my webpage.  I love it when a plan
comes together!   Diego & I went through a few rounds of fine-tuning
the document and now it is ready for distribution.

If you would like to make your very own free, printable copy of The
Cylinder Model, please contact me directly and I will send you a .pdf
file that you should be able to print directly from your own printer
on 12 pages single-side or 6 pages double-sided.

This a perfectly grand example of the way a community should function
& work.


Kudos to Diego Albertani!!!


My Very Best,

Dave Kennedy took my first KMI training and lives in La Jolla or just

Hazen's nerve freeing - but he is a gentle and very sensitive /

My observations:  The doctor had a facilitated pattern of extension of the
little and ring finger as part of his posture pattern.  When I started to
work for him the contracture in the palm was well established.  When he has
a flare up there are trigger points in the extensors which resist the
flexion of his fingers doing palpation.  The repetitive stress causes a
flare up where the tendon passes through the attachment to the metacarpal.
I found that in his case the wrist could be extended if the fingers were
allowed to be flexed this allowed me to work out the trigger points in the
extensors. Then I could put the wrist into flexion work out trigger points
in the flexors then a little cross fiber and ice fallowed by as mentioned a
very slow extension of fingers and wrist over a flat warm surface then ice
again.  Ultimately flare ups have been infrequent with correction of the
posture imbalance.

I have had some minor success working with a post release dupuytrens
patient. The "release" is actually a minimally invasive procedure
referred to as a Needle Aponeurotomy. In this procedure, the abnormal
tissue is weakened using a small needle in the palm. This is no
quarantee that the fascia surrounding the tendons will not regain its
hold, but post procedure direct fascial release works well to keep
the adhesions from reforming to its prior state. I did not have very
good results with her hand prior to the procedure. I spent allot of
time working between the tendons and literally digging into the
tendons, sifting along the way. One thing worth noting; the build-up
of connective tissue began returning soon after her procedure, but it
has diminished greatly during her work with me. The Doctor told her
that occasionaly a patient will have a recurrance of the condition
after surgery. Apparantly she did, but 5 minutes work on her hand
every two or three weeks keeps her fingers from locking. I get the
impression from her that we might be making progress toward a
permanant fix.

Hello SI folks,

My client is looking for a referral for her mother, who is older and has
foot pain diagnosed as osteoarthritis.  She would like to find a gentle
practitioner to do the Rolf series with her, along with detailed bone and
nerve work in the feet.  Someone who has taken Don Hazen’s Level 1 nerve
class would be ideal but someone with Barral-type training would be great as
well.   She lives in San Diego.  Thanks in advance!

There is a procedure out there called "Dupuytren’s Needle Aponeurotomy"
which is dramatically effective at working with the contracture.  In Europe,
it costs €40 and takes 20 minutes, so even with the current exchange rate,
you could get two treatments for essentially the price of an SI session.
The treatment is also available in the US, at a more expensive price but
personally, I'd do a trip to Paris and get treated there for the same money.
There was an article in the New York Times about this back in July.

Article from New York Times:

The New York Times

Straightening Bent Fingers, No Surgery Required

By KATE MURPHY
Keith Felcyn, a retired senior editor of BusinessWeek magazine who lives in
Greenwich, Conn., had not been able to fully extend the little and ring
fingers of his left hand for 20 years. But last month, it took 20 minutes
for a doctor in Ontario, Ore., to reverse his Dupuytren’s disease, a benign
but ultimately disabling disorder in which the fascia of the hand thickens
and draws the fingers permanently into the palm.

“When he finished and I could lay my hand flat,� Mr. Felcyn recalled, “I
said, ‘My God, this is a miracle.’ �

The procedure, called needle aponeurotomy or percutaneous fasciotomy,
involves using the bevel of a hypodermic needle to essentially shred the
ropes of constricting fascia characteristic of Dupuytren’s disease. The
disorder, named for Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, a 19th-century French surgeon
who wrote about it, afflicts up to 25 percent of people over 40 in Western
countries and is most common in men of northern European descent. Ronald
Reagan had it; so does Margaret Thatcher. Risk factors for the disease
include hand or wrist trauma, repetitive strain, alcoholism, smoking and
diabetes.

Needle aponeurotomy, which leaves only superficial puncture wounds, was
developed 30 years ago by a group of French rheumatologists and is now being
practiced in the United States by fewer than a dozen physicians. Thousands
of patients like Mr. Felcyn are flocking to these doctors every year, many
against the advice of hand surgeons who say open hand surgery is more
effective.

“Surgery has a lower recurrence rate,� said Dr. Richard Gelberman, chairman
of the department of orthopedics at Washington University in St. Louis, and
president of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. The recurrence
rate for needle aponeurotomy is around 50 percent after three years,
according to several studies published in French medical journals. Studies
in the British and American medical literature indicate that the recurrence
rate for fasciectomy, or surgical removal of the diseased fascia, is 40
percent after five years.

But surgery carries a significantly higher risk of complications like nerve
and vascular injury, infection, inflammation and something called a flare
reaction in which the hand gets very swollen, red and stiff.

“Fasciectomy is a delicate procedure that requires meticulous technique,�
said Dr. Steven Z. Glickel, director of the C.V. Starr Hand Surgery Center
at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York. Moreover, he added,
“Patients have to be committed to physical therapy� for six weeks to four
months before they can expect to regain full function of the hand.

Mr. Felcyn played tennis the day after his needle aponeurotomy, which,
unlike surgery, can be easily repeated should he have a recurrence.

Dr. David Kline, who performed the procedure using a mild local anesthetic,
had the same thing done to both his hands five years earlier in France.

“I cried the day I had it done,� Dr. Kline said. “I was so happy to be
able
to use my hands.� As an emergency room doctor, he had thought his career was
over until an Internet search turned up a group of rheumatologists at the
Hôpital Lariboisière in Paris offering an alternative to surgery.

Dr. Kline paid 40 euros, about $55, to undergo the procedure. He returned to
Paris in 2005 to receive training in the technique. Dr. Kline said he had
since performed more than 600 needle aponeurotomies, in addition to
continuing to practice emergency medicine, at Holy Rosary Medical Center, in
Ontario, Ore.

There is little competition because so few doctors offer it in the United
States; a list can be found at
http://www.dupuytren-online.info/needle-aponeurotomy.html.

The cost is $500 to $650 per affected finger and is covered by Medicare.

Dr. Charles Eaton, a hand surgeon in Jupiter, Fla., said the technique had
been slow to gain acceptance by other American surgeons because “it sounds
crazy to work on the delicate structures of the hand without cutting it open
to see what you are doing,� especially when Dupuytren’s disease often
distorts the anatomy of the hand.

But because patients are awake for the procedure, he said they can report a
tingling sensation if the one-half millimeter needle gets too close to a
nerve, and they can move their fingers to reveal the location of tendons.

“It took a long time for arthroscopy to take hold, too,� Dr. Eaton said.

Yuh! The operative term in my little squib was "SLOW" . This stuff is

I have been diagnosed with Dupuytren's. I have not received any work
from anyone else, being  isolated out here on the edge of NA, but
have been doing a lot of slow hand stretching with the result that it is
not getting worse. In fact, I think that with the stretching to keep the
contractures under control, the development of the adventitious
tendons has actually been making my hands stronger. I am happy to
discuss this, front or back channel.

I've done some work on my vet who had this but the effects were only
temporary.  If that's the main reason they're doing a series, they
probably won't continue.

Hello everyone,

I wondered if anyone has worked on a client  with dupuytrens contracture of the
hand, and seen any improvement in the condition with  SI 10 series or post 10
work?

With gratitude,
Mark

I buy mine at a mom-and-pop pharmacy in Dallas (not a CVS or
Walgreens) that also stocks more medical supplies than the chains do.
Depending on where you are, you might check out the independent
pharmacies in your area.

If you want to buy them online, Amazon has finger cots through one of
their affiliates (along with seemingly everything else known to
humanity).

Hi Chance,
I've 'test driven' many different benches in the classes I teach with GSI and I
personally prefer
this bench over any of the others. It is solid, attractive, stable and highly
functional with
features that an SI practitioner who does a lot of work from the bench will
appreciate.
Specifically because of the unique design the side uprights allow lateral access
of the pelvis
and hips much more conveniently. The design allows it to fit flush against a
wall or table if
you prefer to work in that fashion. While the adjustment aspect takes a little
getting used to
(a little like learning to drive with a clutch) once you've mastered it no bench
is more stable
or solid. The locking pins are a nice feature that makes it ultra stable (a
complaint I have with
some of the benches I've encountered after watching a couple collapse with
people on them
in class). After I got the hang of it I could adjust the height ease.
I don't own one of these benches (only because I have a very stable, attractive
oak bench that
I've had for 12+ years) but if and/or when I'm ready to get a new bench this
will be it.

Hello,

I wasn't able to attend the Fascial conference in Boston. I have heard that
there is an outstanding DVD on the fascia of the hand tittled "Strolling Under

I've tried many benches over my 30 years in practice, and they all
have different advantages and disadvantages.  I like the way this
allows the arms to dangle freely.

My favorite story:  At the Rolf institute, for many years we used the
kidney-shaped benches lovingly crafted by Dennis Miller in Boulder.
These benches would tip as the client leaned forward.  Finally
someone worked up the courage to ask Ida Rolf why she used these
benches.  "That was a bench I picked up in Fritz (Perls) house when I
arrived at Esalen, and took it down to the baths for my sessions.
You people keep copying it.  If you want something different, go
ahead and make it."  Beware the unthinking imitation!

I like the bench a KMI graduate, Eli Thompson, came up with - a
little cheaper, and quietly and easily adjustable without bolts -
just slide it up and down the cute, vine-like slots.

Durable too.  It's laminated wood, so not quite as nice a piece of
furniture as others, but a unique design, and the price is right at
$275.

Thanks for responding ,Joe.

  I tried to google it and all that came up was the book.  The IASI will post an
order form on their website within the next few days.  Thank-you Marylin for
putting it on the IASI website.

   Mark,

   Just google it and you'll come across it, I've seen it several
   times since the conference.

Mark,

That info will be up on the IASI website soon - hopefully by tomorrow - but
let me see if I can attach a pdf that Tom Findley sent me on how to get that
video. I didn't see it, but I hear its amazing.

Hello,

I wasn't able to attend the Fascial conference in Boston. I have heard that
there is an outstanding DVD on the fascia of the hand tittled "Strolling
Under the Skin." Does anyone know where I can purchase the DVD?

Chance,
I looked at that chair and I know you asked for someone that had
experience with this chair, and I don't; but it looks pretty good and
has an interesting design.
I replied to use your email as a platform for a recommendation I got
from a Hellerworker. I am fuzzy whether it was Dr. Dohn or Stuart
Bell but one of the most affordable and portable options for bench
work is a stack of plastic step stools.  You adjust the height by
adding or removing stools.  I have used this solution when working
out of my office and it works great.
Sorry not to be able to give you direct feedback about the blue rose.

Hello, all.
I have been thinking that it might be fun to buy some of the amazing
videos that are out there on anatomy, technique, or masters of the SI
trade, but I don't see myself coming home from a long day of pushing
flesh and tucking in to more "work". UNLESS...
I am a fairly social being, and can be easily encouraged to do
something with a little help from my friends. Wondering if there are
any Seattle practitioners out there who might be interested in a
monthly gathering to watch some videos with me? It would be ideal to
be able to discuss what I'm watching with other folks whose work it
pertains to.
Give me a holler. Off-list is easier for me to get to.
Thanks!
Bevin

P.S. I really really enjoyed both events in Boston. I feel the
science percolating up through the cracks in my brain as the days go
by, and am excited to take some more movement training sometime soon.
