At the initial visit, the therapist evaluates for:
-
Postural distortions.
-
Biomechanical dysfunction.
-
Soft tissue causes of these patterns.
The therapist develops a treatment plan by screening gait patterns and
measuring the positioning of the body on the coronal, midsagittal and
horizontal planes. These measurements provide reference points from which to
determine distortion patterns. An exacting analysis of proper posture and
biomechanics explains the cause and effect relationship to pain.
The therapist then palpates the soft tissues to determine if there are
ischemic, trigger points, nerve compression possibilities.
When the body is balanced on the midsagittal, coronal and horizontal planes, it
works more efficiently. It reduces the heart rate, blood pressure, increases
blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, relieves stress, anxiety,
strengthens the immune system, enhancing medical treatment.
Once the body is balanced in four dimensions, the patient is able to restore an
efficient way for energy to move.
