Volume Three Autumn 1997

WHAT’S INSIDE

The subtleties of the viscera, lymphatic and fascial systems were revealed by threerenowned French clinicians during their Julysymposiums in Palm Beach.

Osteopaths Jean-Pierre Barral and PaulChauffour joined physician Bruno Chikly inpresenting their therapeutic styles to cliniciansand students of their work.

In his demonstrations of VisceralManipulation (VM), Barral, developer of themodality, displayed his assessment skills byworking with six patients.

In one of the more involved cases, Barral

assessed a 50-year-old woman and found hisfocus drawn to her liver, left kidney, pancreasand spleen. He described her injuries as having a physical rather thanemotional source, and occurringsuddenly.

The patient then explained thatshe’d been involved in an auto accidenttwo years before. The air bag struck her inthe face and chest, fracturing her jaw andbruising her torso.

She had surgery to repair her jaw, but

experienced headaches so severeshe “couldn’t add two plus two.”The woman had been receivingchiropractic care and, lastNovember, began seeing VMpractitioner Dee Ahern, PT.

Using his trademark locallistening techniques, Barraldetermined that the patient’s organswere absolutely fixed and describeda whiplash effect to the left side ofthe body. He was focused on themid-section, the same area of thebody that Ahern had addressedalong with the hard and soft frameof the thorax.

Barral first worked to release the rib cage.Next he chose to release restrictions in the

spleen and left kidney, which resulted infreeing the 10th rib. He also releasedthe dural tube.

The session concluded with Barralreminding the audience to listen to the

tissues of the body to determine whatareas to address. “On your first contact withthe person,” he advised, “just ask the tissuesto tell you their story.”

Jean-Pierre Barral, French osteopath and developer of VisceralManipulation, demonstrates his techniques at a symposium inPalm Beach, Florida.

The future of the Upledger Institute’sVisceral Manipulation curriculum is growingeven brighter, thanks to the issues discussedat an enthusiastic gathering of instructors inPalm Beach in July.

VM developer Jean-Pierre Barral, RPT, DO,and program director Frank Lowen, MT,convened with nearly a dozen others to discussopportunities and share new techniques.Participants included instructors as well as keyrepresentatives from The Upledger Institute.

Among the many topics…• Course representatives were appointed to

assist program director Frank Lowen:Dee Ahern, PT, for VMIA, Jay Kain,PhD, PT, ATC, for VMIB and PIVM,and Gail Wetzler, RPT, for VMII. Theywill each be responsible for making surethe information presented in their classesis consistent and true to the vision ofJean-Pierre Barral. This dedication toquality will help ensure the best possible

learning experience.• The teaching-assistant program was

reintroduced as a tool for alumni to honetheir VM skills. Anyone interested inbecoming a certified TA is invited to callTheresa Piekarski at (561) 622-4334.

• Sharon Weiselfish-Giammatteo, PhD,PT, was gratefully acknowledged for hercontributions as an instructor for the VMcurriculum. Though she will not continuein that role, she was wished the best ofluck in all her endeavors.

• VM will enjoy increased exposurethrough UI and IAHP newsletters, withspotlights on instructors, techniques andpatient profiles. Alumni are encouragedto assist by submitting articles, casehistories or personal experiences with VM to: The Upledger Institute, Inc.,11211 Prosperity Farms Rd., D-325,Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410-3487;Attn: Sharon Desjarlais, Newsletter Editor.

Each year Jean-Pierre Barral visitsAmerica, Dee Ahern, PT, asks him what he’dmost like students to understand in VisceralManipulation. “Undeniably and consistently,he tells me he’d like them to know theiranatomy,” Ahern says. “From this frameworksprings forth the creativity of the art, but thefoundation is essential.”

Ahern, a VM instructor, is well-qualified tobring her understanding of body structure toher students. She honed her own knowledgethrough years of experience in manualmedicine. By the time she began studyingwith Barral in 1987, her work and educationencompassed settings in acute, chronic andgeriatric care, private practice, private clinics,

hospitals andoutpatientfacilities. Shealso conductedresearchprojects inDenmark andEngland, andworked with ateam of 44physicians in Colorado to develop standardsof peer review.

Yet despite the many routes she’s explored,she still comes back to the basics. “I believeit’s difficult to get good results from VMwithout knowing your anatomy,” Ahern says.

“Because of the viscera’s association with thefascial system, it allows us to access otherareas of the body. But it requires a clear-cutunderstanding of body structure to attain thatlevel of proficiency.”

While Ahern agrees that many therapistscome to the VM courses with a strong back-ground in anatomy, she believes others seethe value of building that foundation oncethey experience the work.

“Visceral Manipulation is another avenueof accessing and moving information throughthe body based upon the intelligence thetissues give us,” Ahern says. “With a strongperspective of structure, there’s alwayssomething new to discover.”

Instructors Share Ideas at Successful VisceralManipulation Meeting

Visceral Manipulation Instructor Brings a Keen Appreciation of Anatomy

New WhiplashCourse Begins

in 1998Jean-Pierre Barral, RPT, DO, is continuing

to strengthen the practical applications ofVisceral Manipulation with the addition of anew course in 1998: Visceral Approach toTrauma and Whiplash.

Experts say whiplash injuries affect over amillion Americans each year, with 25-40% ofthose people displaying chronic symptoms.The new three-day course will focus on theimpact to the visceral system, an area oftenunaddressed by healthcare providers. It willcover three primary areas: the physical lawsof trauma, diagnosis and treatment.

Advanced Visceral Manipulation is a pre-requisite to this class, which will also feature anew book from Jean-Pierre Barral: OsteopathicApproach to Trauma; Focus on Whiplash (Englishversion scheduled for a 1998 release).

Barral and co-teacher Alain Croibier, DO,currently plan to teach Whiplash classes inNew Orleans and Palm Beach in the summerof 1998. To register or for more information,please call 1-800-311-9204, ext. 8910.

ll too often we become “specialized”to the exclusion of doing things wemay not consider our favorite way or

the easiest route. The following case illustrateshow we can get better results if we continuallyscan the available approaches and techniques,and choose those that seem appropriate atany given time during the therapeutic process.

Various modalities can and should be inte-grated and used concurrently. In patient careand facilitation, there’s no room for devotionto a single given approach — and thereshould be no boundaries between disciplines.

The patient is a 43-year-old woman with onechild. She had four D & Cs prior to the deliveryof her child, and a tubal ligation shortly after-ward. Aside from her chief complaint and theusual childhood diseases, there was no othersignificant medical or surgical history. She didhave orthodontia work during preadolescence,to which she related some of her problems.

Her chief complaint, which began at aboutage 10, included post-prandial abdominalbloating and pain. The bloating was generalizedand the pain was localized in the epigastriumand upper right abdominal quadrant.

She’d also suffered frequent bouts of consti-pation that she became aware of in her earlyteens. During those times she bore significantpain in the ileocecal region, the low back andthrough the length of the entire large bowel.

More recently, she had whole back andneck pain, as well as difficulty with mentationand focus. She had lost some auditory acuityand had almost constant tinnitus. Episodes ofnearly debilitating fatigue had presented withgrowing frequency.

Previous treatment regimes had producedvarying degrees of short-lived relief, but nonehad offered complete remission of symptoms,even temporarily. Her treatment programsincluded conventional medicine, chiropractic,therapeutic yoga, colonic irrigation, nutritionaltherapy, elimination diets, herbal therapy,massage, and the use of a mechanical vibrator.

My evaluation revealed: a rather low-

amplitude craniosacral rhythm; conduction ofdural tube motion was partially impairedfrom the upper thorax through the sacrumwith focuses of restriction at T2-3-4, T11-12,L1-2 and L4-5-S1; restriction of both tempo-ral bones; a very tight intracranial membranesystem in all directions; hard palate locked ininternal rotation; frontal bone compression;occipital cranial base compression withatlanto-condylar compression; multiple toothdysfunctions; spinal motion restrictions at theatlanto-occipital region, C1, C2, T3, T4, T11,T12, L1, L4, L5, S1 and left sacroiliac; general-ized restriction of the thoracic cage; restrictionof the respiratory diaphragm and the pelvic

diaphragms; internal rotation of the left ilium;marked abdominal tenderness in the areas ofthe pylorus of the stomach, bile ducts, duode-num, ileocecal region and the entire length ofthe colon; marked tenderness in the area ofthe solar plexus and deep to the umbilicus.

In addition, acupuncture pulses revealedweakness in the kidneys; marked hardness/firmness of the small intestine and stomach;the triple warmer pulses seemed absent; andthe pericardium was hard and brittle.

Treatment involved a combination of therapies:CranioSacral Therapy coupled with acupunctureto regain energy flow and release the obvious

restrictions, Visceral Manipulation to releaseabdominal tension patterns from the internalorgans, and spinal manipulation combinedwith myofascial release, costal manipulationand pelvic balancing to correct the peripheralstructural problems.

Concurrently, the dural tube was repeatedlymobilized to encourage the defacilitation ofhypersensitive spinal cord segments as theinput sources were released. Mouth and toothwork were also done. (Dental trauma wasfound to be a major contributing factor.) And SomatoEmotional Release revealed someissues with the patient’s father involving thelack of self-esteem development when shewas a child.

Approximately 20 sessions have been com-pleted thus far. The problems keep droppingaway as her body accepts the work and truststhat whatever is needed will be provided.

Presently, almost all symptoms are goneand have been for several months. There isstill a little bit of food intolerance, but ingeneral the combination of all of these treat-ment modalities has helped this patientaccomplish body-mind integration, andsuccessfully assist in her self-healing.

AcupunctureMust Be Covered

by InsuranceDear Friends,

Your help is urgently needed! BILL HR1038, known as the FEDERAL ACUPUNC-TURE COVERAGE ACT OF 1997, isbefore Congress.

Introduced by Congressman Hinchy (NY),this bill will provide Medicare coverage formillions of patients in exchange for qualifiedacupuncture services. If passed, this bill wouldalso provide coverage under the FederalEmployees Health Benefits Program nationwide.

Now we need people from all over thecountry to make their voices heard. Pleasewrite a letter to your Congressmen/Congresswomen and Senators. Urge them toVOTE IN FAVOR OF BILL HR 1038.

The following letter excerpt is from SisterJean Michalec, who has been relieved of severepain through her experience with acupuncture:

“I, too, have experienced rapid andeffective relief from severe pain throughacupuncture…at my own expense. As aresult, the proposed bill encourages me tocontinue to use acupuncture, as time goeson, rather than less effective but morecostly medical treatments. It has workedfor me. There is no greater advertisement.”

If you choose to write, please keep in mind…

1. Acupuncture is a natural treatment with no health risks.

2. It protects health and cures illnesses.

3. It relieves pain.

4. It has great advantages and effectiveness.

5. It has no side effects.

6. It costs less than traditional medicine.

Thank you for sharing in this vital endeavor.

Gratefully yours,

Sr. Catherine Mary Lee, MM, LAc, LMT

Dear IAHP:

I recently had an experience that might beof interest to other IAHP members.

A friend of mine hit a cat with her car,injuring it rather badly. The cat was notwearing a collar so she brought it home andhad a vet come look at it. A couple days latershe asked me if I might be of some help.

When I first saw the cat, he was dragginghis right leg and only able to walk with greatdifficulty. He was obviously in a great deal ofpain, had not been eating much, and showedsigns of listlessness that I took to be depression.

I don’t have much knowledge of felineanatomy, so I tried to visualize the cat’sstructure as best I could. I treated him usinga combination of CranioSacral Therapy,Visceral Manipulation and Mechanical Link.

Local listening revealed a fractured rightilium, as well as a possible fracture of thesacrum itself. The femur had been jammedinto the hip socket, the right knee wassprained, and there was considerable bruisingof the bladder and other organs in the pelvicfloor. There was also a large energy cyst inthe right hip.

After I released the energy cyst, the com-pression in the hip socket, the right knee andaround the bladder, and checked the otherorgans to make sure they were not involved,the cat was immediately able to walk on allfour feet, and did not appear to be in nearlyas much pain.

I spent some time at the end of the treat-ment dialoguing with the cat via the cranialrhythm, trying to discover if there were anyother injuries, and to get an idea of how longit would take for the fractured ilium to heal. I made sure the cat understood that he mighthave a reaction to my treatment and, if he feltmore pain in the next day or so, not to worry.

When I asked the cat via the cranialrhythm if he lived in a house near the accidentsite, the rhythm stopped. After a series ofquestions, I determined that he lived in theseventh house on the left of one of the streets

off the road where the accident occurred.I communicated all this to my friend,

adding that I had no idea if it was correct ornot. She decided to go knock on severaldoors, and on the second street she found thecat’s owner — in the seventh house on theleft! The owners were very surprised whenmy friend told them how she found them.

I’m sometimes skeptical of the answers Iget from dialoguing with the cranial rhythm.It’s been most useful to me as a diagnostic tool.I often simply ask the rhythm where the domi-nant lesion is and begin my treatment there.

There have been times, however, when theanswers I get have proven wrong. I believethere are two possible reasons for this. EitherI’m not being sufficiently neutral within myself,

in which case the answer I get comes fromme, or I’m not dialoguing with the client’sInner Physician but with some other complexwithin their psyche that has a different agendaand belief system. In this case the answerreflects reality as perceived by this complex.

Sometimes, however, it really works well,as it obviously did in this case. I’m curious ifany other practitioners have had similarexperiences treating or dialoguing with animals.

Sincerely,Tim Hutton, PhD, LMP

In the autumn of 1995,four of us in the SanFrancisco Bay Area gottogether to do multihandsround-robin CranioSacralTherapy sessions. Ourvision was to find profes-sional peers to consultwith, get continuing experi-ence in multihands work,and receive the kind ofwork we’d expect atAdvanced CST.

We have not been disappointed. In fact, thisgroup has grown in importance for all of us.

That first year we met every other month,working three on one from mid-morning untillate evening. Morning meetings and longlunches let us catch up on personal andprofessional news.

We got to know each other well…ourhealth concerns, personal issues, professionalstrengths, working styles. Now we meettwice a month, alternately working on eachother and clients.

During sessions we exchange leadershipand dialoguing roles spontaneously. Drawing

on each other’s talents, we often prearrangeor request certain roles. And when one of ushas completed a technique, she simply asks ifher hands are needed elsewhere.

The unspoken trust and congruence isinspiring. And our clients’ feedback has beenvery positive. People come mainly from ourprivate practices to hour-plus multihandssessions that cost $200. We have a one-thirdreturn rate and a waiting list.

If it sounds like I’m bragging, you’re right.I hope more practitioners will discover the joysof multihands groups like ours. There are somany personal and professional benefits. If Icould wrap it up as a present, I would.

For students attending UI and IAHEseminars, the benefits get even better. “We’re

a full-service agency, so weget paid by the airlines, not

the ticket buyers,” remindsFalconio. “Plus, if a class should

change dates or locations, we’re on top of the situation to advisestudents early and helpthem change travelplans.”

Catherine appreciatesthat sense of security —and the savings. She’salready redeemed oneairline credit, and hopesto earn another by the

time she gets to San Diego.Travel Concierge is a full-service agency

located in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Theycan be reached at 1-800-881-0776, ext. 8910.

When Catherine Dinon, CMT, calledTravel Concierge to book a flight to SanDiego for Beyond TheDura ’97, she received notone follow-up phone call — but four.Each one was to advise her that air fares haddropped again.

You might not get thatlevel of service fromother travel agencieswho tend to drop out ofsight once a ticket isissued. “Every morningwe go through our entirelist of tickets to seewhether prices havecome down,” says PaulaFalconio, manager of Travel Concierge.When an agent finds a price break, she’s usually able to offer the customer a credittoward a future flight on that same airline.

Bruno Chikly’s symposium on LymphDrainage Therapy (LDT), a method hedeveloped, began with the history of lymphaticstudies. He discussed the traditions of lym-phatic drainage from the published writingsof Canadian osteopath Frederic Millard in1922, and European Emil Vodder in 1936.

Dr. Chikly’s first demonstration was on an88-year-old woman whose vision had beencompromised by a clogged vein in her eye.His assessment found almost no lymphaticcirculation in the area around the eye. By using precise techniques for the lymphatics,he said there was a chance to help release thevenous flow as well.

Gently working directly on the liquid ofthe eyes, he encouraged the lymphatic flow tothe parotids, the area of the neck where themost lymph nodes are located, and theaxillary nodes.

He described how the practitioner canpalpate the lymphatic flow in much the sameway one assesses the craniosacral rhythm.“Just help the flow and let the body do therest,” he said.

At the conclusion of the session, thepatient reported more clarity in her vision.Dr. Chikly said there could even be additionalimprovement as the lymphatic system continuedto drain.

He then introduced Renée Romero, RN,BSN, MS, LMT, director of the LymphedemaInstitute of America, Inc., in Miami, and histeaching partner in a new workshop, Bandages,Garments and Other Tools for CompressionTherapy, scheduled to debut in December.

After Dr. Chikly performed lymphaticmapping to assess the lymphatic circulation,Romero demonstrated the compression therapytechnique on a lymphedema patient. A numberof studies have shown that lymphatic drainageand compression therapy are effective inreducing lymphedema.

Dr. Chikly also demonstrated how LDT

can be applied tonon-malignantbreast lumps.Working with twosubjects, he encour-aged the lymphaticflow to decreasepain and the volumeof the lumps.

From the lym-phatic system tothe interconnectivefascial system, PaulChauffour demon-strated the tenets of Mechanical Link, amodality he has developed over the past 20years. In Mechanical Link, each body systemis analyzed systematically to uncover lesions,an osteopathic term for a dysfunction orstress in the structure.

The dominant lesion in each system is testedagainst those of the other systems to determinethe primary lesion. Once the dominant lesionis released, the remaining lesions will oftenrelease on their own. Those more resistant arethen manually released systematically.

Chauffour’s first patient was a 1-year-oldgirl who suffered from the effects of birthtrauma. Working quickly so as not to induceadditional stress, Chauffour assessed herbalance and then her spine. He found a spotof maximum resistance — a lesion — at T12.Next, he looked at the functional unity of herbody and found a lesion at the 11th left rib.

As he continued his assessment, Chauffourfound lesions at the 8th costal cartilage on theright and the right tibia. He then evaluatedthe visceral and cranial systems, which heassesses last in infants.

“Look at everything — organization, energy,emotion — and act on the specific pointsdetermined by the examination,” Chauffourexplained. “What you are doing is putting allthe systems into balance.”

By comparing the lesions to one anotherand testing for the greatest amount of tension,Chauffour determined the tibia to be thedominate lesion. He used a recoil technique —

manually going through the motion barrierfollowed by a quick release — to abate the lesion.He then re-examined all the previous lesions.

When all the tensions had dissipated, thesession was completed and he determined thepatient displayed the potential to continueher progress.

“Our role is to supply the information andrestart the system,” Chauffour said. Quotingosteopathy founder Andrew T. Still, DO, headded, “We find it, unleash it and let Naturedo its work.”
