What is Rapid-De-afferentation?

What are RDTs (Rapid De-afferentation Techniques)?

RDTs are manual medicine techniques and protocols that utilize reflexive pathways and the phenomenon of reciprocal inhibition as a means of switching off inflammation, pain, and protective spasm for entire synergistic muscle groups or singular muscles and soft tissue structures.

RDTs are a hands-on method for turning off pain and spasm, and for turning on the recovery cycle and an autonomic "reboot." The reboot here is essentially a turning off of the sypathetic overload and a flooding with a good series of parasympathetic signals.

A Still point is often reached at "reboot," as is a theta brain state.
