The strategies
Anchor 1
The role of muscle receptors is not to pick up information coming from the outside, they are specifically located in muscles to perceive what happens ... in the muscles. Information from the outside is perceived by specialised receptors located in the skin.
These specialised receptors located in the skin are activated during treatments of any manual therapies.
There are dozens of interpretations of manual therapy : some talk about fascia, myofascial release, myofascial meridians, muscle energy release, osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, fluidic osteopathy, yin yang theories, Chinese medicine theories, and many, many more ; each of them has its own more or less structured « theory », which, of course, remains a theory.
It's important to take a step back when reading about a therapy, whether it's Bowen or another method, as they all claim they are the only ones who possess the "true" technique. The bridge between the application of any manual therapy method and the results obtained lies not in the theory or treatment hypothesis, although these can sometimes be helpful, but in the understanding of the physiology that sheds light on the work being done.
The further we move in this direction, the more we realise that there are actually very few differences between one method and another, that there are infinitely more similarities, and that, ultimately, we are all doing the same thing: manual therapy.
To differentiate between these methods, we will refer to them as strategies. The Bowen strategy, the DermoNeuroModulation strategy, and so on. These are different ways (but ultimately not so different) of achieving the same goal.
Initially designed intuitively, like all manual therapies including osteopathy, this method, which bears the name of its visionary, Tom Bowen, stands out by a singular characteristic which, thanks to the understanding of physiology that is related to it, can now be applied favourably to all manual therapies: the therapeutic pause, or "homoeostasis in progress". What seemed an extravagance is now proving to be of fundamental importance.
Bowen is MyoNeuroModulation
Delicacy is without a doubt what best characterises this method marked by kindness. However, the complexity of the theory developed by Diane Jacobs to explain so much tact and generosity in its application leaves us reflective at first sight. It is only by diving headfirst into her intellectual path that we can follow her, then find our own path, fascinating and full of obstacles whose, each time, resolution seems to us like a revelation. We have not ceased talking about DNM yet.
DNM is DermoNeuroModulation
The fastest, least complex and yet the one that beats all records, in very precise conditions, by its fast and immediate action is the Dynamic DNM method. Dr Raymond Branly inspired himself by the Moneyron method (which is also somesthesia therapy), and by different techniques of self-taught manual therapists has perfectly developed this neuro-cutaneous treatment system. Yet, through the lens of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, this method needs to be better explained, understood, and applied. The vivacity of the method and the simplicity of its application require a thorough expertise in neurophysiology to find your way around. We will get there.
Dynamic DNM is inspired by Niromathé, minus everything that cannot be explained and enhanced by the scientific explanations inherent to the method.
