Here we have another case of a young athlete with knee pain. This time it’s pain in just the left knee.
In taking his history it was discovered that several months prior he was jumping over a fence. He had a slight cut on his leg, but it suspiciously left a large dent just above the knee.
In this case, the scar isn’t red like this other one. However, the dent is significant.
His nervous system wasn’t having a problem at the skin level. It was more about what was happening deeper.
When I tested his left leg muscles they were all very weak.
- All 13 divisions of his quadriceps muscles
- All of the hamstrings
- All of the adductors and abductors
- All of the hip flexors
- Etc.
Everything.
This scar was causing significant problems.
I knew it was the problem because by having him touch the scar with his fingertips and retesting all the leg muscles they were completely back to normal.
You have to understand that the body is electrical. We have electricity flowing in and out of different parts of our body and that flow needs to be uninterrupted.
We can’t have interference to this nerve flow. If we do, the body short circuits so to say.
The objective then becomes to restore normal communication to all parts of the body. This is what I view a main part of my job is.
I figure out what isn’t connected, and re-connect it.
In this case I had to help his body release the scar tissue so the electrical nerve power could get to where it needed to go.
Once we did that his knee pain of several months evaporated.
Why?
Because all the muscles turned back on. They were now functioning at 100%. No need to do any strengthening exercises. They were strong muscularly, just not neurologically.
And this takes a special type of testing to discover the neurological weakness. Without a system you can’t know with any bit of certainty that you are on the right track.
Applied Kinesiology and Proprioceptive Muscle Testing gives us that certainty.
