Gentle Is The Way–The lighter the touch, the deeper and more profound the result.
How could a soft touch do anything to heal? Especially when we live in a world where the general attitude has been ‘the harder the better’ and ‘no pain, no gain.’ For example, doing challenging exercises that make you feel the burn in order to retrain muscles, or getting a deep tissue massage that feels so intense in order to relieve tightness and realign muscle fibers. Both come with the understanding that things might feel sore before they feel better. But, what if we approach the way we heal in a gentler manner?
Network Spinal Analysis is a low force chiropractic technique that utilizes breath and body awareness as its key components. Soft, precise, light touch to your spine and sacrum helps cue the brain to unwind spinal cord tension and create new wellness promoting patterns. The result is improved posture, better movement of the breath and decreased overall tension in the muscles and spinal vertebrae.
The cool thing about Network Spinal Analysis is that it uses light touch to release the bound up tension that keeps on forming in your body and uses it as fuel to create a new strategy for your nervous system to heal. Instead of finding areas of your spine and joints that are stuck or restricted, and trying to force them to move again, we use the areas of your spine that are moving well to harmonize and influence the rest of your body to do the same. This allows for rewiring of body tension patterns and creates new adaptation strategies for your brain.
With traditional manual chiropractic care, the tension that builds up in the body and creates restriction/stiffness/pain is released with specific adjustments to the spine in order to bring proper alignment and motion back into the joints. This creates relief and needs to be performed quite regularly, as life is full of repetitive stressors and microtraumas to the spine.
In Network Spinal care, the existing tension built up in the body is used as a catalyst to shift structural patterns and provide sustainable changes to the nervous system. Areas of the spine that are supple and functioning well are used to balance out the rest of the spine. This reorganizational healing technique is revolutionary and actually creates neural circuitry for a new wellness paradigm so that your body is able to heal and become more resilient from all the stress it encounters daily.
Network Spinal Analysis creates two unique healing waves that are associated with the spontaneous release of spinal and life tensions, and the use of existing tension as fuel for spinal re-organization and enhanced wellness. One is called the Body-Breath (Somato-Respiratory) Wave, which allows you to reconnect your body and breath to release tension stored in the muscles and connective tissues. The other one that develops is called the Body-Mind (Somato-Psychic) Wave and it is a deep connection between your body and your mind. In this wave, you will have spontaneous movements of the spine, which gradually build and improve your health and wellness over time.
After receiving care, many people report feeling calmer and less stressed. Additional benefits may include:
diminished pain
enhanced mood
ability to breathe easier
better joint and spinal flexibility
improved posture
stronger immune system
healthier diet choices and improved digestion
good quality sleep and feeling well rested
increased energy
overall contentment and happiness with life
Network Spinal Analysis care is an evidence-based approach to wellness and body awareness. This cutting edge, energetic approach to care is gentle and effective for all ages, from wee little newborn babies to kids to athletes and urban professionals, all the way to our elders/senior citizens.
Through specific low force touches to the spine, Network Spinal Analysis facilitates the brain in developing new strategies to:
Experience the world
Adapt to stress
Dissipate tension from the spine and nervous system
Connect with the body's natural rhythms
Experience greater well being
Make healthier choices
Create a more self-correcting, self reliant "magical spine"
Develop the Somatorespiratory and Somatopsychic "healing waves"
Since Network Spinal Analysis practitioners are not as prevalent in the world compared to most other chiropractic techniques, this speciality is often sought out by people who know and have experienced the benefits of care or have been referred by someone who is in the know.
After reading this article, now you know too and can also start to receive the wonderful results of this transformational healing method that connects body, mind and breath. Now is the right time for you to try it out. Take this as your gentle nudge to step into an extraordinary version of your life.
Practiced consistently like a skill, Network Spinal Care can shift everything about how you feel in your body. IYKYK!
