Why Osteo-Tapping?
In children with cerebral palsy and other related disorders,
well
in all individuals with reduced muscular skeletal function, one is dealing with widespread degenerative processes that have a negative effect on all tissue systems.
The bone layer, in the sequence of layers from the surface of the body inwards, is the deepest structure. – If we name the main layers of tissues from the surface of the body moving inwards we find: skin, fat, muscles – and then bones. The bones are structures that are also highly dependent upon sufficient mechanical stimulus in order to maintain their structural integrity. When sufficient mechanical loading or mechanical stimulus comes to the bones through the outer layers, then the bones will “model” and “re-model” themselves in respect to the stimulus from the surrounding tissues.
In the case of children or adults with a weakened connective tissue system, these very “bone structures” receive much too little mechanical stimulus from the interaction with the physical forces of the environment through the surrounding tissues. In this case, the bones do not grow sufficiently and do not go through the structural transformations necessary to bring the person to the next functional level. Or – even if they more or less keep growing in the length, the bones do not achieve the needed bone density that is necessary to carry the weight of the child. Problems such
hip-subluxation, scoliosis, contractions, spontaneous fractures are only the most obvious problems showing up. All of these difficulties have deeper lying origins, which are related to the general weakness of tissue quality and the inability of the surrounding tissues to transfer mechanical stimulation. Of course –
the same time – the entire organism is lacking the physical movement necessary for tissue remodelling.
When the general respiratory/metabolic level is weak, the individual will exhibit a diminished tissue quality. The skin, the adipose fat, the muscles – all show signs of weakness and depletion – or in some cases the fat layer will
thick and overly dense. Neither the overly dense tissues nor the depleted tissues can provide a proper surrounding and base for sufficient bone stimulation.
When the bone –
being the most dense layer of the body – is weak, then this also has a cascade effect outwards towards other tissues. In general the connection between the bones and the surrounding tissues is of poor quality.
Direct mechanical stimulation of the bones is made possible with the Osteo-tapping method. With this method we can achieve:
Improved bone remodelling and growth
Leading to an improvement in bone density
Improved “roughness” of the bones – the roughness being necessary for the bone attachments to surrounding tissues and to muscles. (Smooth bones do not have enough ridges and rough areas that are necessary for the connective tissue attachments.)
Improved “enthesis” or attachments between the muscles and the bones. The enthesis is the connective tissue between the ligament/tendon and the bone.
By stimulating the bones in this fashion, we stimulate the entire connective tissue “cake” – meaning all other layers are stimulated with the improved bone stimulation.
The vibrational movement of the stick done in an open chain fashion also helps the child or adult to release a great amount of accumulated tension. Wheel chair bound persons collect tensions the entire day, because they cannot perform basic movements, move their arms and legs and do other activities all of which allow for tensional release.
The tensional release also translates into improved sleep and relaxation. Many families are reporting an improved sleep of the children when tapping is performed during the day and before bed.
Reduction of spasticity in the feet and in the hands is apparent with consistent Osteo-Tapping combined with the power socks or other wrap methods.
