Muscle Release can assist in breaking down scar tissue, lengthen a muscle, restore muscle memory and relieve pain. “With the Muscle Release Technique℠, the client is placed in particular positions so that the muscle begins to stretch in a very specific direction of plane. Then pressure is applied directly into the focal point of the affected tissue. The combination of a specific extension, precise pinpoint compression, and an exact plane of movement, while working with the breath, can produce an immediate RELEASE! The scar tissue is broken up and the muscle length is restored.” ~Michael Young. Some issues that can be relieved with MRT are plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel, and stiff neck.

In 1992, Tom developed his own method of energy healing, Tong Ren Healing. Tong Ren is based on the theory of the collective unconscious, all of us striving towards the common goal of energetically breaking up blockages. Tom believes that as long as energy is able to flow through the body without resistance, then the body has a natural ability to heal itself. The healing energy from Tong Ren is directed towards blockage points in the body, which helps to restore the body’s natural healing abilities.

Tom is also an author to more than 20 books and the inventor of countless healing devices. In the past decade, Tom has developed what he calls the Tong Ren Ultrawave Therapeutic Healing Device. These machines use the Tong Ren Healing signal and brainwave along with a combination of other theories, such as bioelectricity, gravity, and quantum physics. These machines are all handmade by Tom, who works tirelessly in pursuit of the solution to heal the world.

Although Tom is still conducting Tong Ren Healing sessions, he has retired from acupuncture to dedicate more time to his writing and inventing.

But there is a significant difference that cannot be overlooked or merely labeled “similar” based of release of Trauma. As the inception of the program was derived from Martial Art application of nerve manipulation, which mandates an instant shock to the system via the nerve in the opposite paradigm, that of instantly inflicting pain and dysfunction on the body, the urgency and need to correct the inflicted dysfunctions and pain, hence the early beginnings of this special and unique program. By administering multiple thousands of physical applications, observations and refining remedy to the infliction’s on an international cross-section of people, cultures and genders, this system is now backed and used by a team of Medical Professionals, institutions and lay people in 45 countries.
