Put simply, the philosophy is that the body is a self regulating bioenergetic and biomechanical phenomena which will continue to regulate itself for as long as it has the reserve energy necessary to sustain life, by the ongoing process of biological adaptation.

Bowen realized that the body would regulate itself and return to balance if the appropriate neurological and neuromuscular context was created so that it could. There was never the question of if it could, this was implicit -- the fact that the person had life was evidence enough that it could!

Tendinitis and Bursitis are, by definition, inflammations. Massage therapy should not be able to resolve them. In fact, massage therapy of inflamed tissue is contra-indicated; it ought to make them worse. Yet in every case of a patient diagnosed with Tendinitis or Bursitis, I have found trigger point activity referring pain into the area in question, and have been able to resolve the problem by treating the trigger points and assigning ergonomic adjustments, stretches and moist heat (heat is also contra-indicated for inflammations).

What are Goode Wraps?

They are elasticized compression shorts or sports wraps. Each of these is impregnated with a unique blend of natural rare-earth semiconductors. Goode Wraps are available for the hip, groin, foot, ankle, knee, elbows, and wrist. In fact, the semiconductors can be added to almost any cloth like material.

What are they used for?

Primarily to control pain, swelling and stiffness. They are ideal for tired aching muscles or joints from sporting activity, exercise and repetitive stress injuries. The Goode Wraps help the muscles regain strength and prevent or lessen the sharp pain in joints from tendon stress.
In reality, pain in hip, and knee joints can be nothing more serious than referred pain from myofascial trigger points (tiny contraction knots) in the muscles of the hip and thigh. Even when a hip or knee joint has suffered a verifiable physical injury, trigger points in associated muscles always contribute a major part of the pain. Referred pain can be every bit as intense and debilitating as pain from a damaged joint.
Some researchers suspect that trigger points may actually be the root cause of true osteoarthritis and other kinds of joint deterioration. This is because muscles afflicted with trigger points become shortened and stiff. When this happens, even normal movement puts undue strain on muscle attachments at the joints, which can eventually result in damage to connective tissue and distortion of the joints themselves.

Is there anything similar on the market?

Not in the United States. Only in Japan and Belgium. Goode Wraps are the only products of this type to be made available here and the process is patented in Japan and the United States.

I just wanted to write a short note to let you know how pleased I am with your product. I had a case of achilles tendinitis in my ankles (alternatively) and I ordered an ankle wrap. I received it last night, and immediately felt a difference! I ordered another wrap for the other knee because the stiffness in the morning (subtle) was noticeable. This makes it much more comfortable during the reconditioning process.
