RAPID is a method of hands on neuro-fascial “reset” stimulating the deepest fascia of the periosteum. Why the periosteum? The periosteal fascia is the richest source of sensory free nerve endings in the body-richer than the eyes, ears, nose or skin. Stimulating the neurobiological system this way allows access to nearly one thousand times more sensory receptors than massaging muscle alone. By accessing the neurobiological system as such therapists are able to affect both the central and autonomic nervous systems to reduce tissue tone and increase intercellular tissue fluids, this in turn melts adhesion and tissue tension. 

Affecting the autonomic nervous system this way also has a global effect on the body by turning down the sympathetic nervous system. Most importantly therapeutic intervention to these free nerve endings is known to produce a chemical cascade in the tissues which dramatically reduces pain. In addition to the periosteum we also focus our work on the aponeurosis, nerve sheaths, tendons, joint capsules and ligaments as these tissues are also highly neurological. Simply put RAPID addresses dysfunctional nerve endings to reduce tissue tension and pain and place the body in a relaxed state.

When and where did it originate?

RAPID was developed by Canadian Massage Therapists Robert and Sherry Routledge who have been successfully using their method to treat patients for well over a decade. Their goal as teachers is to empower other therapists to gain a new level of clinical success with their most challenging patients. RAPID helps the therapist to gain patient compliance by quickly eliminating even the most painful issues in their clients.

What are the benefits?

RAPID offers the practitioner the ability to successfully treat the most complex painful musculoskeletal complaints that mainstream medicine offers little help for such as; sciatica, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, bursitis, frozen shoulder, Baker’s cysts, back pain, migraines, TMJ-D, vertigo, tinnitus, arthritis, knee pain, golfer’s and tennis elbow and so much more.

We  specialize in using microcurrent point stimulation (MPS therapy) to treat chronic and acute soft tissue pain and scars in an all-natural, drug-free way. This is done by applying DC microcurrent impulses to muscle motor points, Ashi (pain points), and acupuncture points, providing quick and effective pain relief for a number of medical conditions.

MPS therapy integrates neurological science with the principles of acupuncture to provide an all-natural, holistic approach in treating the body and mind. This combination produces very effective results which have been recognized across North America.

  MPS therapy works with the Dolphin Neurostim™ portable pain relief unit. MPS is the world’s first integrative therapy developed exclusively to de-regulate the ANS and fight chronic pain. The theoretical underpinnings of MPS Therapy are based on combining the “therapeutic” of acupuncture, osteopathy, and neural therapy with modern neurology.
