    Why don't we send Sura to Waco for this alternative medicine if it is working for T-Mac?

    We can trade our other scrubs for other former star players with bad back and have him revive them, too.

    In addition to some back problems, Sura has had both micro-fracture and arthroscopic knee surgery from which he has'nt fully recovered. It would take something different to help him with his knee. With Sura it's about bone and cartilage issues as opposed to muscle and nerve problems with McGrady's back.

    Pessimists don't win championships.

    I was surprised to hear patterson say that tmac is one of the most pessimistic people he's ever worked with. I don't like the fact that our leader is pessimistic because the leader has to have the vision and goal... of a championship. If he thinks, i'm never going to make it there or that its too hard to get there, he WILL NEVER GET THERE.

    Heh, I guess this post is pretty pessimistic huh?

    Optimistically, hopefully Yao can rub off some Eastern philosophy and wisdom on tmac to help him overcome this brain injury.

    wtf are you going on about? he's pessimistic about his back. after many different doctors and treatments you expect him to be gong ho about some new treatment because it worked for someone else? of course he's going to adopt a show and prove attitude with this new treatment after being repeatedly disappointed with the results of the different back treatments he's had since 2002.

    Well one thing is for certain. The Doc has quite a strong reputation to uphold among some top athelethes. I don't he would come forward to with his confidence in TMAC's recovery by some crazy disregard of his experience and strong reputation among professional atheletes that swear by his work.

    been following your posts. sound good to me. i'd like to add a few thoughts...

    from watching the rockets for a while seems to me that tmacs structure simply doesn't sit right in gravity. as in gravity pushes you down into the ground and the same force should come back up through his feet ankles knees pelvis all the way back up out his head, reinforcing him. electrostim on his back equal to 30 hours of deep tissue sound good, but it so gladdens my heart that Patterson worked on McGrady's knee and worked to get him some more arch in his foot to give McGrady more support for his back. this seems to me to be the right path. as far as McGrady being fixed, it may be true, maybe TMac's body has learned enough about how to manage itself, but from looking at how TMac still sits and how he moves, not such good alignment up out his head; I hope Patterson continues to work to connect more of his upper body to the work he has done with TMac's knees and ankles. We need to see lift through all of TMac's structure, the lift of gravity coming back up through his body, or TMac's back troubles will simply migrate to another spot.

    lets take a look at TMac's structure, he is on TV enough. we should be able to get some still pics and some video of him walking and compare it pre and post Patterson's treatment and see how TMac is coming along. Someone could post a bunch of images and we can look in detail at how he is reinforced in gravity.

    Maybe Tmac needs to get some plastic inserts for his feet?

    They worked wonders for me.

    The maker of the Frequency Specific Microcurrent is Carol McMakin not Carol McMahon.

    Here is there website. There are 3 Houston area practioners with this equipment. Since they are local, it would be great to send other guys there to help with their healing also. This therapy worked for McGrady so far, but if he gets hit hard enough he will need more therapy.

    It's hard not to be pessimistic about a bad back when it keeps getting in the way of your craft/profession. In the case of McGrady, he dealt with it over and over and over again, no matter how much treatment or how many physicians he saw and how much rest he got, it still stayed with him. In his case, I will forgive the guy for being somewhat 'pessimistic' about his back.

    Moreover, I am not sure how his pessimism regarding his back condition has anything to do with his outlook for this team. If McGrady didn't think the Rockets were championship contenders, he wouldn't have come here to play with Yao and try and build something special. If anything, based on numerous comments he made in his tenure with the Rockets, he's been overly optimistic in his assessment of the team and how far they could go in the playoffs (just read some of his comments from his first year in Houston).

    I think you're overly pessimistic when it comes to McGrady's pessimism ;)

    Tmac looks much looser in the past couple of games, so his back must be feeling good, which makes his self confidence grow. Whatever is happening with him, its working.

    Thank you John Patterson. Any relation to Ray and Steve, lol.
