The earth’s gravitational force is the primary physical force constantly acting upon us. The more our musculo- skeletal posture lines up with this force, as we move about, the more efficiently our body runs. And, the more efficiently our body runs, the more energy we conserve, the less pain we experience and the more we are able to move about with ease and comfort.
We all know there are various stresses in life. These can effect us on the physical, mental and emotional levels
(i.e. injury/trauma; fear/anxiety; repetitive negative thought patterns). Unknown to most of us, these stresses can also cause ”primitive involuntary reflexes” that tighten our muscles, and often do not allow them to go back to a normal relaxed state of rest. This unconscious process causes imbalanced muscle tension, and muscle weakness, patterns to form. These abnormal patterns result in our bodies running less efficiently than they are capable of running. If this process escalates far enough, it will result in nerve interference and consequent symptoms.
Together, we can identify your tension and weakness patterns, and its’ resulting effect of improperly operating joints, by looking at the following: observing your current posture against a gravity plumb line; observing the range of motion in the various joints; performing pertinent orthopedic and neurological tests; checking muscle strengths and weaknesses; and by palpating (touching) various muscles, bones, joints; and soft tissues.
Using specific forms of muscle release techniques, along with chiropractic manipulation (Hands-on/Activator/SOT blocks and Kinesiology as appropriate) when appropriate, I can help release these improper tension patterns and free up the improperly functioning joints. By spending a full 30 minutes upon each visit to address your concerns, more importantly, I will teach you specific ways to strengthen your weak muscles, and reprogram the nervous system to release your tense muscles.
Now with your body “in balance with gravity”, you will move more smoothly, fluidly and effortlessly. With the resetting of your nervous system, you will have more energy to enjoy life as you easily access your body’s “innate healing intelligence”.
It is only when we are out of balance with our body’s natural alignment to health that the stresses of life may result in our experiencing symptoms (on any level). By learning to use the tools mentioned above, we can boost your body’s natural alignment, provide you with self-care home methods, and assist you in raising awareness of your body, and how best to care for yourself in general.
