Launch of MyO2! The Best Electrolyte replacement you can buy!

Go tell it on the mountain!!! you know the rest of the words. Myochanics is proud to announce the launching of a new private label Multi-Electrolyte Delivery Solution called MyO2 MEDS. MyO2 MEDS is a concentrated mineral electrolyte solution that helps people with high stress, chronic pain or simply people who are active in their hobbies like jogging, tennis, football, baseball, basketball, soccer or track. We are proud to announce that Lockhart High School and Luling High School have singed on to the utilization of MyO2 and have experienced a tremendous gain in performance as well as a virtual cease of muscle cramps. In one game with the Luling football team, Coach Waldie stated that the opposing team had more than 15 cramps and the Luling team had ZERO! Coach Kilby of Lockahrt and Coach DeLaCruz (37 years experience) both stated that the product is meeting if not exceeding their expectations. What are we talking about? The electrolytes that are in MyO2 are critical fro muscle contraction and relaxation of the muscle. Recently America has seen in the news the 6th heat related death in High School Sports. That is simply unacceptable. The only reason why a young otherwise healthy young man or woman would collapse during a game is because their body lost all the necessary electrolyte in needed in order to maintain proper body fluid balance. It is not acceptable to simply to say the heat was too high. The increased heat has an affect alright, but what affect is it? It is the increased perspiration in effort to cool the body that results in the increase of loss of electrolytes. The most critical of these electrolytes are Sodium, Chloride, Magnesium and Potassium. When an athlete gets to the critical stages of heat exhaustion they will typically experience cramping, dizziness, and sometimes headache. Other symptoms of dehydration that can be dangerous is constipation. MyO2 has 72 trace minerals as opposed to the over the counter Sports-"ades". The most famous of them all has only sodium and potassium in it and is proving itself to be insufficient to replace the myriad of essential minerals necessary in order to help the body to function properly. Would you consider donating the needed 60 bottles to your football program? Our children need the best product and they deserve it. MyO2 will help your athletes to stay healthy. Did you realize that may extremely healthy individuals have had strokes and heart attacks right after accomplishing such tasks as jogging 10 miles? What happens is that their blood loses its viscosity and becomes imbalanced due to lack of minerals. These young and old athletes that suffer the repercussions dehydration don't need an abundance of water. They simply need a small amount of water and an abundance of minerals. Remember that every time you sweat, you lose minerals and every time you urinate you lose more. If you get sick with the flu, a virus or any other cause that would cause you to have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea you are going to be losing minerals. RElace them now with MyO2.

What's you foundation like?

Boker Tov!
Good Morning!
The Trace Mineral drops from Trace Minerals Research is their pilot product. It has been around for 35 yrs., has a proven track record and has a no non-sense approach through science and physiology. The body has a need for electrolytes. Without the electrolytes necessary for normal cellular metabolic function we experience anomalies and maladies such as high blood pressure, water retention, constipation, anemia, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, arthritis pain and a host of other symptoms. These symptoms when studied, should drive us to find out why we came to this condition. The “Foundation of the building” is the first thing that should be looked at when the walls around us are crumbling.
In today’s society of stimulant saturated beverages we don’t even consider their affects on the human body.
Let’s look at two things; Caffeine and Water.
1. Caffeine- is a diuretic that causes us to urinate more than normal. This urination process is normal however, when it is accelerated through the use of diuretics we have to take into consideration one thing. The loss of electrolytes/ trace minerals. While the process is normal; the loss of electrolytes/trace minerals escapes our conscious concern. In a perfect world we would be eating fruits and vegetable that are rich in nutrients and minerals. We are not in that “perfect world” and supplementation must be considered seriously. The loss of electrolytes leading to severe deficit of electrolytes is the leading cause of otherwise healthy high school and college athletes collapsing on the field and experiencing near death conditions.
Take for instance the intake of energy drinks by youngsters in high school, their poor diets, the lack of structure in the home that would enable a heary breakfast. We have gotten too fast paced.
2. The Water- The water that is used to bottle most if not all soft drinks is filtered through RO- reverse osmosis filtering, UV filtering and/or distilled water is used to produce these products. This insures no impurities are introduced to the products that might affect the shelf life or flavor of the product. Even bottled water these days is so filtered out that the companies that bottle water have resorted to adding minerals for flavor.
So in short we as a society are drinking what essentially is distilled water and stimulant drinks; coffee, tea, soda pop or mon-star-bull drinks, and wondering why we don’t have energy to get up and go to work or exercise. The foods we eat are lacking essential minerals/ electrolytes and nutrients and we depend wholly upon too much “medicine” to make us feel better.
The answer is to check the Foundation of the Building first. If you suffer with high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, headaches etc. these are sure signs that your foundation is weak. By supplementing with Concentrace Trace Minerals we can add the essential minerals that so many of us are lacking. I personally maintain a 60-drop intake per day.
I have seen a change in my own headache frequency drop to near zero when used in conjunction with Myochanics; clinical Myotherapy or soft tissue manipulation.
Other things that we have seen are tremendous changes in clients who were dignosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 12, who came to us at the age of 44 and now can walk and stand for long periods of time. Unable to stand in the kitchen and cook, which is her passion, she felt like she was being held captive. Now she is able to the things she loves most and not lay around hurting all day. Hallelujah!
Another male client had issue with prostate health, after taking the trace minerals in conjunction with the Electrolyte Stamina pack he stated that the trouble urinating was completely alleviated; no longer requiring the use of Flomax.
All of these things are simple testimonials till you meet the people. But I have seen and experience each one and being a skeptic, its hard to convince me of most things. I have personally seen these things and use the product everyday.
My father recently had a heart attack. He drinks coffee all day and little else. I can’t get him to drink water with the drops. His skin is dry, he suffers with headaches, and his muscles ache.
He refused to use the drops I have given him, condescendingly calling them “magic drops”. When he was admitted into the hospital the first thing that I saw was the IV drip bags hanging on the tree. In the two bags were a combination of Magnesium, Chloride, Potassium and Saline…. All trace minerals/electrolytes.
This is pure sensible science.
I hope that this sheds some light where it is needed.
If we can be of further assistance call us at Myochanics.

Peace and Blessings,

Fuch's Disorder

Have you ever heard of Fuch's?
Well we are seeing more and more labels and names for groups of clinical symptoms but we are not seeing a strong desire to find their cause. When asked what causes these odd syndromes, the experts often say, "No one really knows."
I think that the more appropriate answer would be, "No one seems to have found out," or better yet, "No one seems to be looking."
The characteristic behaviour of the pharmaceutical industry is to develop some kind of experimental drug that comes with all kinds of ridiculous side affects and attempt to find another multi-million dollar drug.
No on seems to be looking into the kineisiological origins or at least influences.
Now more than ever, Americans and others are sitting at desks looking at computers and other typing away as they flex their neck forward and strain to see the computer display. That forward flexion of the neck and spine put a strain on the Scalenus muscles as well as deeper sub-occipital muscles (muscles under the cranium).
These muscles encase and surround the blood vessels and 12 cranial nerves that govern the eyes, nose, facial expression etc...
Ask yourself this. Is it possible that these very important muscles could influence the nerves and blood vessels of the eye?
Could it be that the headaches one might have suffered with for years and not tied together with Fuch's are one and the same?
Could it be that Myotherapy has not sufficiently be explored?
Could it also be that the simplest of cures is right in front of you and that the mainstream medical model neglects the importance of the role of myofascia.
Proper hydration/ re-mineralization is the foundation to all homeostasis.
to not emphasize the importance of this critical foundation to existence is to be part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Failed Low Back Surgery?

Maybe the results aren't what you thought they may be. However, it doesn't have to be a failure in terms of results. Instead of just "giving it a little more time" why not do the most reasonable... Try Myotherapy. Nobody knows muscles and nerves better than Myochanics.
It's what we do, it's all we do.
It shouldn't matter how far you are from us. Think of all the hard earned money you have already spent in lieu of treatments that have left you wanting more in the way of resolution. We have had clients from as far as Michigan, Illinois, California, and Florida come because of the reputation we have of success.

We specialize in soft tissue manipulation. Unsurpassed in effectiveness we work in conjunction with Orthopedics, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists and Home Health Occupational Therapists.
We Love a challenge. But most of all, we love to see our clients smile from the results the experience after their first visit.
We have been working with individuals who have had their "rods" removed from their back post scoliosis, trilevel fusion of Lumbar vertebrae and cervical fusioin as well.
Nothing is too complicated.
We have even had one client; our Web designer Bill Keplar, who had a bilateral mandibular(jaw bone) segmentation to align his jaw and relieve TMJ symptoms.
He call us one day and asked if we would be willing to work on him since other therapists declined to "touch" him.
"Absolutely" were our words.
We got the opportunity to meet a fantastic man and friend who help us tremendously with our website and we got the blessing of helping him through recovery and pain abatement.
You most likely need answers to why you are still hurting. Once you understand why we can address the how.

God Bless you

IT Band Misconceptions

Hello!
Hope you are living in the 'Kingdom Mindset' today.
Where your Father has reign over the land and you are blessed.
I want to talk about the IT band. I met with a wonderful couple yesterday who were the picture of youth and health. When they saw the sign on my car; the Muscle Mechanics, the gentleman's wife asked about the IT band. So let's talk shop.
The IT band is a tendonous connective tissue.
Tendonous: not able to contract or relax.
connective tissue: implies it connects something or holds it together.

The IT band does not contract nor get tight. What runners often sense is a clinically documented referred pain pattern that travels through the Vastus Lateralis Muscle group of the quadracep.
This referred Pain pattern is often the result of a tight Quadracep. However, you must also go to the origin.
The hip flexors such as the Rectus Femoris, Psoas and Iliacus most of the time are too tight and we Americans as a whole are too busy to stretch.
The Abductors and the Adductors must be assessed for weakness or limited range of motion which indicates disorder in the family of muscles responsible for such actions.
The Extensors of the Femur at the Hip can and do play a part in the symmetry of the hip and last but not least the Lateral and Medial Rotators should be assessed and palpated to determine their involvement.
So, now to the brass tacks.
The Gluteus Minimus and Gluteus Medius are more often than not the causes of IT band dysfunction.

Gluteus Medius is a Lateral Rotators an Abductor and extensor.
Gluteus Minumus is a Medial Rotator an Abductor and extensor.
Tensor Fascia Latte is a Hip Flexor/ Medial rotator assistor and Abductor.

Check for dysfunction in these muscles. For instance look for limited range of motion, passive stretching of these muscles and asymmetrical behaviors of bilateral muscle groups. These signs and symptoms indicate the need for Myotherapy.
There is no place better in America than Myochanics to get Clinical Myotherapy that works.

Don't be fooled into rubbing the leg with rollers and foolish toys or tools. the cause isn't the IT Band. It is the Muscle under the IT Band.
The Muscle is most likely being neurogenically stimulated into a chronic fatigued state by a MYO-NEURAL Impingement higher up on the lumber plexus.
Don't forget that if you aren't supplementing with a legitimate electrolyte concentrate such as Concentrace or 40,000 volts from Trace Minerals you are essentially neglecting your highly trained body. Kinda like driving a car with little to no coolant in the radiator.

Fly in to the Lockhart Airport and get a loaner car if you have your own plane or call us to book your appointments.
We do a Wellness Plan for 6 visits to wellness.

L4-L5 S1

For those of you who have deciferred the code, you already have been in pain or know someone with low back pain.
Help is here!

The Scriptures state,"without a vision My people perish."
They also state, "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

I have made it my passion to teach. I love it. The joy comes from seeing people liberated from the oppression of enigmatic pain.
You deserve to know and understand why you hurt, how you got there and how we can get back to "nice-ville".

This last week on Friday I was blessed to meet with a new client who had been referred to us by a young athlete who just graduated high school and who is going on to the Marines to serve her country. (She is without a doubt one this nation's finest.)
This client who came in on Friday, was suffering with low back pain and had already gone under the knife to fuse the L4-L5 and S1. Needless to say the reason she visited the clinic on Friday is because she is still in pain.
We were able to relieve a significant amount of pain before her departure on Friday afternoon. But the ultimate reward was that as soon as her husband saw her, he could tell she was standing up straighter and looked better.
We got her on our Wellness Plan and will be seeing her for 5 consequtive visits. She came in on Monday and sang the praises of Friday's visit but was in pain again on Monday.
After our one hour treatment we once again witnessed significant relief.
I won't go into any more detail than that at this time but I will tell you that I am blessed to be able to help all our clients to realize freedom from pain.
All praise and glory goes to God.
I'm just the lucky guy that gets to be involved with the healing.

If you read this and would like to know more about what we can do to help you, call us.
If this is about you, and you know it is feel free to comment.

God Bless you all,
Donald "Dr. No-Knife" Maher
