Matrix
Repatterning
Matrix Repatterning is a revolutionary new
way of understanding, assessing and treating the body-literally at the molecular
level. People from all walks of life have benefited from this form of therapy
including elite athletes, people who have sustained motor vehicle collisions and
other injuries, and people of all ages with a wide range of health concerns.
It has been found that structural
imbalance may play a role in many conditions leading to symptoms of pain,
decreased range of motion and other health problems. This comprehensive system
is based on sound scientific principles and is in use around the world by
chiropractors, physical therapists, sports medicine specialists, veterinarians,
massage therapists, athletic therapists and trainers. It can restore optimum
function and help alleviate many painful conditions and other health problems
associated with structural imbalance.
Matrix Repatterning is based on the
following principles:
-
The Tensegrity Matrix is the
scientifically proven structure of all life on the planet. Everything from
viruses to vertebrates have been found to have the same underlying structure
at the molecular level. According to this new concept, the entire body
(bones, muscles, organs . . . everything) is one continuous piece of strong
and yet flexible fabric called the tensegrity matrix. It makes possible such
feats as the mobility of a giraffe's neck, the soaring flight of an eagle and
the contortions of an acrobat.
-
The matrix provides stability and
flexibility and absorbs energy from injuries and other sources.
-
A large amount of energy (such as comes
from an impact) may cause the molecules within the matrix to change to a rigid
state and form a primary source of restriction.
-
Dense structures, such as internal
organs (full of dense water) and bones absorb most of the energy in impact
injuries, and often become primary sources of restriction.
-
Joints, muscles and ligaments are
designed to give way when strained, but may form primary restrictions when
overstretched. Scar tissue may also be a source of restriction.
-
Strain patterns from the primary
restrictions may cause many other parts of the body to move and function
abnormally, resulting in pain and other health problems.
CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE:
These conditions
often respond well to Matrix Repatterning.
What can I expect from
Matrix Repatterning Sessions?
The examination process usually involves a
detailed assessment of postural balance, movement patterns, muscle tone, joint
mobility, neurological function and other tests. It also includes a careful
determination of the precise locations and directions of the primary
restrictions. Treatment is generally painless. Each area may need to be
treated in several, slightly different directions to release the entire pattern
and several primary areas may be treated in any one session.
Since long-term imbalances are often being
corrected, the body may respond for a period of several days after the
treatment. The brain tends to adapt to chronic conditions and pain. Treatment
may re-awaken some of this stored information causing a temporary aggravation of
symptoms. Certain home-care measures may be recommended to help your body adapt
to these changes more comfortably.
The assessment is repeated at each
subsequent visit. Further layers of restriction are usually revealed and
released. This is similar to an archeological excavation. A series of
treatments can release all of the structural imbalances developed over a
lifetime.
Assessment
The purpose of the assessment is to locate
the sources of restriction in the body. The molecular restriction is actually
an electrical disturbance. A normal electrical field placed near a disturbed
one will tend to move it towards normal. Therefore, when the practitioner
places his or her hand (this is a normal field) over an area of restriciton, it
will temporarily be shifted toward normal, thus reducing the molecular tension.
Since the matrix is interconnected, the rest of the body will relax slightly.
This is something the practitioner can detect and the patient can often feel as
well.
The process is continued until all of the
restrictions are identified. The practitioner will then determine the priority
in which these areas are to be treated.
Treatment
Treatments are very gentle. They involve
the use of precise localized pressure referred to as induction or a
gentle springing type of motion called recoil. These techniques are
designed to release the trapped electrical energy within the restricted area.
When this happens, the molecular structure returns to its natural, flexible
state. This is a permanent correction and it will not return unless another
significant trauma occurs.
The practitioner may also use other forms
of therapy to support the healing process and to release scar tissue.
Matrix
Repatterning was developed by Dr. George Roth and represents the culmination of
over 20 years of study and research into the structural basis of health.
Practitioners throughout the world, who have studied and applied these
principles are finding remarkable success in relieving many acute and chronic
conditions.

repatterning and demonstrates the assessment process. You may also read

disorder, fibromyalgia, snoring and sleep apnea, and cardiac function. |
