Since Kabbat and Mézières, the muscle chains principles have significantly evolved. We'll focus on two notions which may seem in complete opposition: one from the field of objectivity and influenced by the very precise work of Léopold BUSQUET; the other from the field of subjectivity and influenced by the intuition of Godelieve DENYS-STRUYF.
We are faced with two different scientific approaches:
one dealing with what is rigorously known.
one dealing in probabilities.
Thanks to the second option, Godelieve Denys-Struyf established the link between muscle chains and Chinese medicine.
How could an osteopath not sense the link between muscle chains and acupuncture meridians?
They are very difficult to superimpose and a perfect match between the two conceptions does not yet emerge. Yet it is not obscure anymore. PMM has already answered a lot of questions and will keep opening doors. PMM, muscle chains, the relation between soma and psyche lead the way to a holistic osteopathy. We will reach beyond the frontier between psyche and soma, closing in on the origins of symptoms.
If we look into two types of pathology showing:
* Functional lesions (the more numerous).
* Irreversible cell lesions
Energetic medicines (Osteopathic and Chinese) are best equipped to evaluate the symptom's mechanisms and their resolution at somatic level.
Progressively, they will become the first choice medicines in case of "functional lesions ", and an excellent counterpart for adaptive medicinal treatments in case of irreversible cell lesions.
