...I'll have to try the ankle circles too. It seems weird that the ankles could have an effect on something as distant as the wrists. That's an interconnection that doesn't make intuitive sense to me yet.

Think about the connection in terms of the gait cycle. when you step forward with the left foot (ankle) the right arm (wrist) also swings forward. Z-health (and a lot of other similar somatic modalities) uses the gait cycle, or how you walk, to try to understand the cause of whatever dysfunction is then causing the pain that you're feeling.
Ashe, are you doing the Z-health thing? What do you think of it? As I understand it it is based pretty heavily on Scott Sonnon's (and the Russian's) zdorovye - hence the name. I'm fascinated by this kind of work (I consider it to be a form of somatics - maybe I'm wrong) but dislike some aspects of the way it is presented. If you're interested, this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Neuro.../dp/0750654562 is provides some of the evidence base for somatic movement and treatment and might be worthwhile.
Another place worth looking at is somasimple, which is a decent forum for this type of discussion. They had an interesting discussion about z-health that hit on my one real problem with it here:
