A method for the non-surgical treatment of soft tissue lesions includes placing a contact point near the lesion and causing the patient to move in a manner that produces a longitudinal sliding motion of soft tissues, e.g., nerves, ligaments, and muscles, beneath the contact point. Treatments are continued at sequential time intervals until the symptoms produced by the lesions are alleviated.

Expert system soft tissue active motion technique for release of adhesions and associated apparatus for facilitating specific treatment modalities

A laser diode collimating and aberration correction (LDCC) molded plastic optical system having a refractive lens(es) to collimate fast axis and a refractive lens(es) to collimate the slow axis of the laser diode (this lens combination is termed a cross cylindrical lens system) with a diffractive element(s) to correct for astigmatism and provide circularization of the output laser beam. All optical elements are molded in plastic to high tolerances with regard to the surface optical figure (shape of the curved surface), surface roughness, and alignment between surfaces (tilt, rotation, and translation). With proper alignment of the optical system to a suitable laser diode emitter, the combination of optic and laser diode is capable of delivering diffraction limited performance&mdash;collimated beam, circular beam cross section, and no astigmatism.
