PHYSICAL THERAPIST SOFT TISSUE SPECIALIST
MING CHEW, PT, P.C.
The Ming Method is a breakthrough approach to pain relief based on a comprehensive series of special stretches to release tightness in body's fascia, one of the leading causes of acute and chronic pain.To understand how the Ming Method works, you need to know a little bit about the fascia. What is fascia? One of the least understood body tissues, fascia is comprised of tough sheets of connective fibers that weave through every muscle, nerve and organ. Fascia is a universal tissue that encases your entire body ~ holding it all in, if you will. It enables you to maintain correct posture, keeps your organs in place, prevents muscles from tearing and tethers tendons to bone, giving the muscles the mechanical stability needed to contract forcefully. For muscles and joints to function properly, both the fascia and nervous system must be healthy. This means moist, soft, flexible fascia and nerves that send full-strength signals to the muscles. Injury, overuse, and underuse can all result in tight, restricted fascia that shuts off nerves, weakens muscles, restricts movement and causes inflammation —and pain ranging from acute, i.e, slipped disk, to treatment-resistant pain lasting for decades. The Ming Method includes 7 essential keys to achieving maximum results. They are: 1. Hydration: drinking enough water to get your fascia moist and supple. 2. Anti-inflammation diet. Inflammation = pain. Certain foods trigger inflammation in your fascia, which you will learn how to avoid. 3. Supplements to support fascial health. 4. Spinal decompression stretches to separate the vertebrae, releasing pressure on compressed nerves to stimulate muscles to function fully. 5. Fascial stretches to release individually contracted areas that cause pain. 6. Strengthening exercises to lock in the effects of stretching and make fascial releases permanent. 7. Self-therapy techniques you do yourself to facilitate stretching and strengthening. Drawing upon a wide range of healing modalities, Ming modestly describes his extensive knowledge as, "I'm a science guy". However, it is his unique blend of science background, licensure as a physical therapist and intensive studies in alternative therapies, including traditional Chinese Medicine, that enables Ming to create the lasting results patients need. He states, "“For 25 years, I went out of my way to understand every system of the body. “Then I synthesized it all into a system of my own."” More fully described in The Permanent Pain Cure, Ming teaches patients to diagnose their own problems and provides individualized treatment programs detailing stretches and self-therapy techniques needed to heal specific issues. All it takes to work is fifteen minutes a day.Ming's motto, "You are your own best therapist" is borne of a passion to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to resolve physical conditions for life. It is not a regular exercise or physical therapy program, rather complete healing system to restore tissue to its healthiest state and keep it that way for good. Based on Ming's many satisfied patients, keeping it that way for good has worked for them. Let's make it work for you. For an appointment email or call 212.877.5028.
