Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss recent FSM CORE practicum cases, including a PT with peritonitis/abdominal adhesions and vagus involvement who regained hunger and could eat after treatment, plus notable shoulder improvements guided by ultrasound findings. They emphasize that FSM is not "plug-and-play," healing is never linear, and ethical, scope-appropriate, hands-on assessment matters—especially with athletes where confidentiality and trust are central. They address concerns about people selling FSM devices/programming based on symptoms or video consults, warning it harms patients and the reputation built over 30 years. They share clinical perspectives on stubborn joint pain, scar mobilization, cartilage and capillary considerations, using pain/pressure frequencies, and why core teaching uses alternating current to reduce risk in unknown stenosis. Q&A includes TMJ post-veneers, poison ivy, Lyme symptom support, Dupuytren's, and cancer-related misconceptions.
