Unwinding
An explanation of symptom changes during
treatment
At the starting point as a patient, you have
all your symptoms and physical restrictions from being injured.
After treatment starts, your body begins to improve by unlocking
in a direction away from the major mechanical problem. As
your body mechanics improve and your body can better handle
holding itself up, you progress until you reach point A. (Look
at graph.) At point A your body function (ability to move
and do things) is improved and your symptoms are greatly decreased.
BUT, at point A your body has reached a point where it has
improved so much it cannot improve further without unlocking
another of the major underlying injuries and mechanical stuck
points that has your body stuck in the position that you are
stuck in. (Many people are thrilled at this point but it is
no where near good or even okay.)
To do that your body has to move into the position in which
that injury was received and then get adjusted from that position
to unlock the mechanical portion of the injury. Then, after
the mechanical portion of the injury at that point is unlocked
the body can heal the soft tissues in that area and go on
to the next place you have injured unlock the mechanical portion
of that injury and so on. Here is the way it works:
Until reaching point A your body has been unwinding and unlocking
mechanical problems in the direction opposite the major mechanical
problem. When your body moves opposite the major biomechanical
problem pressure is taken off the injury sites and off the
spinal cord-brainstem. As a result your body function (ability
to move and perform its normal internal tasks) improves and
your pain and stiffness is reduced because of the reduction
in pressure. That unlocks and heals – to unlock the next
point in the sequence your body must now change directions
and go in the direction of the major mechanical problem if
it is going to improve further.
When that change of direction occurs there is an increase
in the mechanical pressure on the body and the spinal cord-brainstem.
You feel this increased pressure and it bothers you. You have
begun to feel lousy again and are a bit distressed because
you do not know why.
It is not that you will hurt much when unwinding (unlocking)
an injury that leans toward the direction of a major biomechanical
problem, you won’t. It is the feeling from the increased
pressure on your body and on the spinal cord-brainstem that
can make you feel anxious, possibly depressed a bit, because
you know the pressure is there and you think you might be
getting worse again. You are not getting worse in the sense
that, "Oh my God, I’m never going to get better."
You are getting a tiny bit worse in the sense that your body
is under pressure as you unlock the next big problem which
has been holding you down for a long time. However, after
the problem is unlocked your body is then free to improve
to even greater levels. Literally what you are doing is going
backwards through each injury process to unlock and heal each
of the points at which you were injured.
