Hi Leontis and Steve
When I spoke to my osteopath previously about this he suggested there was little difference between Dr Hall’s and K laser’s protocols other than the use of pulsing. He appeared to suggest that Dr Hall’s K Laser may not have the pulsing facility. He offered this to me but Dr Hall appears to have done OK without it so I didn’t…[Read more]

Hi Charlene
No, I’m over in England. I searched the K Laser provider site for the UK and found an osteopath a couple of miles down the road, the next nearest was 50 miles away so I’m a tad fortunate. As luck would have it he knew a mutual acquaintance of Dr Hall’s and was able to confirm what was required.
I went for my fourth session today. My…[Read more]

Welcome to the PF forums Peter. Thanks for joining us!
Since the word fibrosis means scarring or thickening of tissue, how can you have Pulmonary Fibrosis without scarring in your lungs? Seems strange to me.
Hi @lynn-schmitt, good question! I don’t really understand a lot of the medical details regarding IPF/PF but from my understanding, if you don’t have fibrosis in your lungs, you don’t have IPF/PF but rather some kind of interstital lung disease (ILD). There are 200+ kinds of ILDs, lots of which aren’t fibrotic in nature but much have damage to the…[Read more]
