A brief summary of the latest LuXXaMed microcurrent webinar with physiotherapist Matthias Rother. As a microcurrent practitioner with over 20 years’ experience, he uses the 2-4-1 approach to move from the symptom to the system. Reflex muscles, or rather reflex muscle chains, play a very significant role in this, as does a holistic understanding of the influence that microcurrent and LED light therapy have on biomechanics and body statics. Muscles such as the thoracic diaphragm, plantaris, pectoralis minor and several others can, through a simple system, have a beneficial effect.

Matthias: By focusing on just a few key muscles, I can achieve relatively significant results relatively quickly. There are two reasons for this: firstly, to maximise the benefit for the patient, and secondly, because it serves as a diagnostic tool for me. Then there are these fascial tracts, which are no longer a secret, but which extend much further – they run all the way up towards the cervical spine. Because when the diaphragm becomes stressed, it pulls the bony rib cage together slightly, and this gap here also becomes a bit smaller; then a small muscle – which really doesn’t have much volume and therefore, naturally, not much strength – gets completely thrown off balance. And when such a small muscle becomes disrupted in its function, it tires very quickly. That’s the basic system I use, 241 …

Matthias: I use two application methods. I work manually on four relevant structural zones and I use a technical system, namely the LuXXaMed. (unv.) treatment, reflex muscle treatment combined with light. One or two details worth noting here: I simply apply this approach once to a muscle along its fibre course – in this case, my serratus posterior inferior, which we’ve mentioned a few times already, so let’s just stick with that for now; it might make things simpler and clearer. I simply position my light heads like this, more or less right in the middle of it. And then I have my fingers up here and can apply a very gentle pull without moving it – a very gentle pull whilst the patient is seated. And then I notice, very subtly, how the structure gradually releases.

Matthias: One here down on the sacrum. It doesn’t matter whether it’s like this or like that, and of course it’s also possible to use small adhesive electrodes; that’s perfectly fine and has no effect on the effectiveness of the treatment. For Channel C, we have two options up here in the cranial region. One option is this: nothing here, there, virtually no abduction, no external rotation at all, no longer in the neutral position either, and now it’s moving in this direction – which I don’t think is too bad at all after six weeks, and I’ve done almost nothing structurally to the shoulder. The only thing is, in the week before last I worked on it for the first time again – I worked on the subscapularis (unv.) to make it a bit more biomechanically functional here – yes, we’ve already done that. Otherwise, I’ve only worked on her torso, the spine – the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions, C0 and C1 – relieving tension there, and on her temporomandibular joints. Since then, she’s been able to relax and is letting her shoulder move freely again. Nothing can go wrong here – the worst that can happen with microcurrent and light therapy is that you don’t achieve anything, but in that case, the fault lies with the person you’re looking at in the mirror.
