What Your Dr. Should Know Continued...
Hoshino treatment is realized by manual methods such as intrinsic articular mobilization, reflex massage and specific exercises that complement the therapy.
Professor Hoshino asserts that arthrosis and discogenic diseases are illnesses of civilization caused by mainly the lack of adequate exercise or by the adoption of deforming muscular or postural habits. Through the study of 250 selected acupressure points, it is possible to obtain a biomechanical image of the body and discover the individualized cause of disequalibrium that provoked or will provoke these disorders. the manual Hoshino techniques produce profound influences that lead to normal muscular physiological activity.

1. There is a direct physiological ahyperthermia and hyperemia to areas of superficial and deeper subcutaneous contact, elevating vascularity and temperature.
2. There is an active elimination of accumulated products and a general reduction of muscular rigidity, along wiht a greater freedomm of movement, depending on the duration and type of affection.
3. As the conditioning progresses, biomechanicalchanges take place within the muscle. This is evidenced by alterations in uric acid creatinine and the various muscle enzymes.
4. As muscle physiology returns to normal, the tendons are also drawn into a normal positioning and joint function can be realized at its fullest potential of movement.

Nothing Surpasses The Hands (sm)
The revitalizing of soft tissues, the foundation of Hoshino therapy, is accomplished exclusively through the hands:
Evaluation of 250 "vital" points using digital (thumb) pressure enable the therapist to detect hardened tendons and ligaments and early stages of calcification long before they show up on x-rays, as well as other abnormalities such as muscle atrophy, deformed or immobile joints. In this way, the therapist discovers the true location of the body disequalibrium that has brought on the pain or disability somwhere in teh patient's body.
Dosage is the art of applying deep, yet agreeable pressure to revitalize soft tissues without causing discomfort to the patient. This is especially important when treating painful areas. The skillful and sensitive hands of the therapist stimulate selected points to create a deep, soothing heat and increase blood flow that counteract the cold rigidity of affected parts. As tissue activity improves and stress on tissues is relieved, pain tends to dissappear.
Coordination is restored in teh final phase of the therapy. As movement patterns return to normal, stress on tissues and joints is minimized. Muscles regain their elasticity, tendons and ligaments are drawn into their normal positioning and normal range of motion is restored to the joints.
