About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of real-time clinical pivoting in FSM education and treatment for various injuries and conditions.
A free guide to FSM training is available there for licensed practitioners. https://frequencyspecific.com/how-to-choose-your-fsm-core-training Hosts: Carolyn McMain, MA, DC & Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT In this Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) podcast episode, Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss why FSM education must go beyond scripts and mode-bank templates to real-time clinical pivoting based on history, mechanism of injury, and assessment. They share seminar and practicum cases where standard protocols failed until they addressed concussions and long axonal injuries (medulla/pons), suspected muscle tears, scarring, and emotional trauma (terror, anger) affecting tissue tone. The conversation covers athletes' off-season rehab, restoring body awareness via sensory/motor cortex support, and combining FSM with biomechanics, taping, footwear, and safe isometrics to retrain movement. They emphasize a results-driven care model (not long-term monthly visits), discuss vagus-mediated immune regulation and macrophage "cleanup," skepticism and the need for published data, and practical treatment considerations like alternating vs positive polarity and home devices with remote…
