How an Engineer Developed Delos Therapy
Kenny Owens, a former engineer, once specialized in troubleshooting electrical systems. In the early 1980s, he injured his shoulder playing competitive table tennis and sought the help of numerous traditional and alternative healthcare providers, all to no avail.
Lack of Success with Conventional Methods
Kenny’s frustration and inability to find relief from conventional methods led him to turn his body into an engineering project, and he noticed some interesting observations about his muscles. The first observation was that the area that hurt felt stiff and weak, and the muscles felt hard and tight. In other areas of his body where there was no pain and normal function, the muscles were soft and spongy. He knew there had to be a pathological change happening in the hard muscle, but he had no knowledge about muscle anatomy. This is when he sought medical imaging to discover what might be happening inside of the muscle. However, every specialist said the images showed no issues and that his muscles were healthy. This is when Kenny concluded that whatever was happening pathologically inside the muscle wasn’t being detected with conventional imaging.
Experimenting with Applied Pressure
Kenny also sought alternative means including massage, acupuncture, rolfing, trigger point therapy and other soft tissue methods. He noticed that anytime a practitioner applied static pressure, it seemed to be effective, but it was always combined with ineffective gliding techniques. Using a system of only pressure, he found that the muscles would soften at the location of the pressure, and the result was a decrease in pain and increase in range of motion. As he worked on himself using this philosophy of sustained pressure, he restored his body to normal function.
Early Success
Kenny was shocked that he was able to make this discovery without any medical training, but he knew that his engineering-based approach helped him troubleshoot and solve a common problem. After this revelation, Kenny ended up building a successful therapy practice in Houston, Texas. His impressive client base has included professional athletes Evander Holyfield, Carl Lewis, Warren Moon, the Houston Oilers and the Houston Rockets.
