The science behind RDTs

you already have the science well studied.
The work of Eyal Lederman and Leon Chaitow is an excellent place to start.
Even in books you already have, there is already a wealth of material on PNFs, METs, reflexes, proprioception, mechanoception, reflexive inhibition, adaptation, facilitation, somatic dysfunctions, and higher center involvement in LMN function.
The sceience is out there. I'ts the approach that is radically different.

There are unfortunately not yet any large-scale randomized controlled double-blinded meta studies on Rapid De-afferentation techniques. Mainly because there isn't anyone we've been able to compare results with. The techniques are different. The results are different. Strong multicenter protocols for dissecting this work have not been built.

Next reason is because we're clinicians. We just don't have the time yet to crunch numbers and do all the studies ourselves. If academicians want to come up and do the studies, we're open to that. Meantime, we're too busy to do paperwork explaining to the world the WHY of how we've getting the amazing results that we do get.

We can show you several gigs of info on the science of it all, but wouldn't you rather see results?
