Can getting a tattoo be therapeutic for joint problems?

March 102010

My husband got an armband tattoo on upper arm. He had been having shoulder problems, which could have been arthritis or bursitis at the time. He’d been taking different meds with no improvement of the symptoms…until he got the tattoo. Within days the shoulder got better and hasn’t bothered him since. Coincidence or was there something related to the tattoo… I am thinking about the similarities of acupuncture and bee sting therapy I’ve seen on tv. What do you think?

could have been an inadvertant stimulation of a meridian (used in acupunture treatment), if so it will likely come back so you know that his best method of treatment if that occurs would be…. acupunture or chiropractic

question for both men and women about massage therapy?

March 82010

Does it matter to you whether the person giving the massage is male or female? Do you have a preference, or would you NOT pay for a massage from a male?

Please, no dumb, obvious sexual comments. This is a question about legitimate stress/therapeutic massage.

I would infinitely rather it was a woman. As a straight man I would find that having a woman massage me would make me more relaxed and enjoy the massage more, and I would feel comfortable with her hands going anywhere, therefore she’d be better able to do her job. If a man was massaging me I would feel uncomfortable and wouldn’t be able to relax. Sorry but I’m just being honest.

Reproductive cloning and therapeutic clong?

March 62010

What is reproductive cloning?

What is meant by therapeutic clong for stem cell therapy?

Reproductive cloning is the process of cloning an individual for the purpose of giving birth.

Therapeutic cloning is the process of cloning a small number of cells in order to produce new stems cells.

In either case, a human embryo is formed. There is no question that the embryo is human — it has all the genetic feature that make it human. That’s the reason it was cloned! It will never become a fish or a lizard or a parrot or a puppy. In therapeutic cloning, the development is stopped in the blasocyte stage — but all the cells are still human!

If you’re referring to the new Australian law, doesn’t it seem odd that their law PREVENTS cloning an individual in order that it might live (reproductive cloning) but ALLOWS an individual to be cloned in order to die (therapeutic cloning)?

Another reason why Australia is the Upside Down Continent.

Therapeutic horse program game and exercise ideas?

February 262010

I got a new job working with troubled teenagers and part of their therapy is working with horses. this program never really had anyone who knew much about horses until they hired me so they can now expand the program farther than trail riding I have lots of ideas for ground work games, riding games etc. but need lots more ideas. any and all are welcome!

e.g. one person is blindfolded leading a *VERY BOMBPROOF* horse the other person explains obstacles the blindfolded person needs to do therefore building trust and teamwork.

You can teach them show grooming techniques, like braiding or something fancy to encourage them to take pride in their horse. Also, you can use washable paints and have a painting party on the horses. I worked at a camp where we did that. Ribbon races; where two people are riding and each holds the end of a string and together they race to the finish trying to get the best time (for more advanced riders). Some may not want to let go of the ribbon or string and fall off. For trail rides, to scare away small animals that may spook a horse, you can have them make horse necklaces with jingle bells. Simon says, water balloon wars on horseback (even bomb proof horses flinch though so be careful but its a lot of fun) Equitation patterns, mini shows with classes not just based on the horse, but others that play to every ones strengths without making sure everyone gets a "free" ribbon. Teens and even some children can be competitive and I know my lil sister did not like the lead line class that gave them all blues because she wanted to win it herself! Riding without stirrups, riding with the horse on a lunge line and the rider has no reins, they learn leg communication. If I think of more I will add it :)
