What is SRT?

🔎 What happens during an SRT session?

A step-by-step look at how SRT fixed a boy's untreatable pain in 1 session
(Real Story — Follow-up text attached as proof)

One afternoon in 2024, a couple brought their 8-year-old son to see me. They told me that their son suffered from persistent left heel pain while running. They had already tried everything — X-rays, PTs, chiros, and massages — and even his MRI had come back normal.

I asked more about the symptoms, but there was nothing unusual except for the consistent pain. There was no specific accident when the symptoms first appeared, either.

Since I couldn't gather any more information from the parents, I began to palpate the boy’s heel. During my palpation, I discovered that he had ligament adhesions between his left calcaneus (heel bone) and his left talus (ankle bone).

These ligament adhesions were likely causing the two bones to press against each other in an unnatural fashion when the boy was running, which caused the pain.

I discussed my discovery and treatment options with the parents and the boy; and the boy, despite being a little hesitant about needling, agreed to try 1 needle first.

I needled the area lightly and slowly, causing only a bit of prickly pain and some soreness. When I removed the first needle, the boy agreed that it was quite tolerable and that he could handle a few more.

I then continued to do the same on 3 more spots — all lightly and slowly.

After my 4th needle, I palpated the area again and felt that the adhesions had already released significantly.

I had him run right then and there; his pain vanished almost completely.

"The pain is now only a 0.3/10 while running (down from a 3/10)." — Follow-up text from his parents two weeks later.

The MRI couldn't find the adhesions in his case because they were too thin.

Chiropractic care failed because they couldn't pinpoint the actual source of the pain; they were just throwing things at the wall and hoping something would stick.

In contrast, SRT is simply precise physics.

🎯 The core of SRT: A new palpation method

At the core of SRT is a new palpation method that can detect adhesions invisible to an MRI.
(These adhesions can be confirmed via endoscopy.)

SRT is NOT traditional acupuncture.

SRT is a new category of treatment.
Acupuncture is simply one of many tools SRT uses to release deep-seated adhesions.

Thus, we use it in a way completely different from traditional acupuncture.
