Episode notes
Circulation Works From Macro To Micro
- Healing is both macro (vascular/lymphatic) and micro (cell membrane) circulation working together.
- Improving cellular membrane function accelerates fluid exchange and complements whole-body circulation efforts.
Preserve Muscle With E-Stim
- Use direct-current e-stim and compression to preserve muscle innervation and circulation during immobilization.
- Maintain contraction/relaxation cycles to prevent atrophy and help lymphatic flow until active movement returns.
Caretake Movement Until Self-Motion Returns
- Caretake a patient's movement by externally creating contractions and environmental oscillations until they regain independent mobility.
- Use temperature shifts, compression, and guided movement to recreate natural expansion–contraction rhythms.
