A Baker's cyst is a type of synovial cyst that can form behind the knee. It's a fluid-filled cyst that can be quite painful. Common causes include inflammation, arthritis, gout and knee damage. Surgical correction is rarely necessary. Typically, if I get the knee moving properly, including the meniscus, joint capsule, and surrounding muscles, this is enough to allow the cyst to resolve on its own.

We talk about this at every single class…

When we rest, ice, and use anti-inflammatories, it impedes the body’s natural processes of healing by retarding inflammation. Inflammation is important, because during injury, like blood flow, inflammation helps flush the immunological factors of healing, factors such as mast cells and neutrophils.

The unfortunate outcome of impeding this process is that the immunological byproducts if left, are known to sensitize our nocicieptors over time. This leads to chronic pain.

How do we combat this and get our patients out of sometimes decades of chronic pain and irritation? We simply reintroduce the inflammatory process. This allows the old immunological factors to be flushed out and resolves most chronic pain issues.

It's been understood for more than a millennium that the body alternates between predominantly using the left and right nostrils to breathe -- in anywhere from 30 minute to 4 hour cycles. This wasn’t verified experimentally until the late 1800’s. At the time, no one really knew what it was for and offered multiple dubious explanations. What has since been learned is that the body does this to help regulate a number of bodily functions and processes. Air taken through the right nostril stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing circulation, cortisol levels, blood pressure, heart rate, etc. Air taken through the left nostril stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering blood pressure, heart rate, cooling the body and reducing anxiety. And to answer the obvious question, yes -- selectively breathing through one nostril or the other CAN be used therapeutically.

Limited shoulder motion isn't always a shoulder problem. I had a client who couldn't get their arms overhead. It ended up being due to nerve tension on the inside of the arms, not muscular tension. There was no inflammation and no pain, just restriction. A few minutes of nerve mobilization did the trick and we never had to actually work on the shoulders.
