What is Muscle lengthening?
Muscle lengthening is the scar tissue build up making the layers of the muscle sticky, inflamed and painful. You can not “stretch” or “traction” out of an muscle lengthening. The greatest quarterback of all time, TB, understands this and credits his long and successful career to continually lengthening his muscles and working out the muscle lengthening.
What is Safely Lengthening Muscles?
Safely lengthening muscles is very important as many patients are in pain, recovering from injury or surgery, elderly, young ,etc.. Muscle Delta Assistant uses assessment methodology and reference tools to apply appropriate pressure, from very light to very strong, on appropriate muscles. By using appropriate pressure we release adhesion, and do not further damage tissue, while positively affecting the literally hundreds of thousands of fibers and cells in a muscle. Here is an example of the effectiveness of safely applying pressure vs traction or stretching Check video
Who could benefit from Muscle Delta Assistant Therapy?
This might sound overstating, but it is absolutely true that nearly everyone, and probably everyone, can benefit from safe, non-invasive musculoskeletal therapy. We all experience adhesion and muscle shortening. Gravity and oxidation pile on. The reasons are for adhesion and muscle shortening are as diverse as we are as people. From sedentarism, to injury, athletics, etc.. they all result in some combination of joint instability, muscle and joint compensation, which results in some muscles being over burdened. The resulting misalignments to the body compound and accelerate from gravity. However, safe and precise muscle therapy properly applied can reverse all of these ailments. One of the most overworked muscles in every body is the psoas, and it is one of the most difficult muscles to treat, which is why almost everyone could use treatment applied to it. The Muscle Delta Assistant quickly, safely, and effectively treats the psoas.
Why is Muscle Delta the Safest and Most Effective Muscular Therapy?
We are a noninvasive, drug free therapy that precisely places highly targeted pressure on muscles to remove adhesions and lengthen muscles to return muscle to a healthy and youthful state. Bones do age, but muscles do not. Your muscles can return to a youthful state.
What did Tom Brady do to his muscles to have 25 years longevity and success at the highest level for 25 years?
Huge amounts of daily manual deep, aggressive muscular therapy. Tom knew that he needed to have extremely deep therapy all throughout the body, on an ongoing basis, and that it was not only very healthy for the muscles, but also allowed for ageless and peak performance, as the muscles were “lengthened”, pliable and able to move freely to flex and extend and their highest capacity. Tom did not have access to the Muscle Delta Assistant, so when we see treatment videos, they are always very aggressive manual treatments. They knew they needed to get into the many thousands of muscle fibers and deeply into all muscles. It is an aggressive manual modality that MOST patients cannot endure for many reasons including age, surgical recovery, joint discomfort, injury, disease, and many more. The Muscle Delta Assistant delivers safe, precise therapy without disrupting surrounding tissues and joints.
Would Tom Brady have experienced even greater recovery and flexibility using Muscle Delta vs a therapist like Alex Guerrero?
Yes! Muscle Delta Assistant works the same exact way 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Even the breathing of a therapist will change the pressure and consistency. The Muscle Delta Assistant is extremely precise in delivering the consistent pressure that is comfortable to the patient, and aids in the lower brain helping to “release” a muscle from adhesion. Humans cannot deliver consistency minute to minute much less 40 plus hours a week, whether high or low pressure. The Muscle Delta Assistant also precisely focuses on the adhesion areas, slowly, deeply, and safely penetrating into the muscle. An injured and/or adhesion muscle also does not communicate with the brain as much as it is injured or stuck and does not function as well, so the brain spends more time communicating with the muscles that compensate for the injured or stuck muscle. As the muscle becomes healthy, the brain opens communication again. Tom would have still needed Alex to analyze Tom’s muscular state and identify adhesions and program and place the Assistant on Tom, and Tom would have been more improved to some degree over Alex’s manual treatment. Looking at videos of Alex treating Tom, we see very aggressive, almost “Roffing” technique. While Muscle Delta treats deeply, it is more gentle, elegant, and precise as it addresses adhesions, and is safe for every kind of patient from geriatric, injured, surgery recovery, etc…
What are Environmental Effects on Muscles?
Two very strong and constant forces are gravity and oxidation. Gravity’s relentless force exponentially compound as the body increasingly becomes misaligned. Example: the human head is 12lbs when perfectly aligned with the body. As the neck and other muscles shorten, the head is pulled forward and out of alignment with the body by just 3”, the head’s effective force increases to 42lbs. You can imagine the snowball effect all the way down the body as other joints are over worked as they support this extra out of balance weight. Another negative environmental effect is “oxidation”. Oxygen is life sustaining, but also extremely corrosive, and its effect on tissue is a “hardening” or adhesion of soft tissue reducing strength, flexibility, reduced pliability, and negatively affects body alignment. You can see steel oxidize/rust in a very short time once exposed to oxygen as it is corrosive.

Patient Assessments are some of the non-timed service based CPT codes. Muscle Delta ROM is by far the most efficient and quickest way to do ROM assessments. When you can do them quicker and still bill the same amount via the CPT code, you’re increasing your NOI and capacity to treat more patients. Muscle Delta will clearly apply this benefit to your clinic model in the ROI presentation during your demo meeting.
How much does Muscle Delta Technology cost?
You can lease for as little as $15 a day. Less than the billing of a single 8 min CPT code. During your demo meeting, Muscle Delta will outline detailed treatment plans for patients, CPT codes, cash pay model, one to many benefits, and advertising and referral tools. Also, because of the efficacy, the patient outcome will gain you referrals from existing and new patients, and keep patients coming back for years, and maybe a lifetime.
How long does it take to perform Range of Motion Assessment using the Muscle Delta ROM Tool?
Each Joint takes about a minute to record, and the MD ROM Tool automatically creates the report. No goniometer, no writing results, just record the patient performing a motion and the software does the rest. This is important, as techs and PTAs can be easily trained to perform Re-Evaluation Service Based CPT ROM assessments, performed in just a few minutes and billable at an average of $65 per assessment.
