When you have back pain, it shows in your features. When you are standing incorrectly, it puts pressure and strain on internal organs and on nerves. The body has a tremendous self healing capacity, but when it is under strain for long periods of time, the structure starts to deteriorate.
Painless Spinal Touch is a technique developed by an English Engineer, called John Hurley. Aware of the effects of gravity on buildings, he turned his attention to the human body. He noticed that pain and illness was often accompanied by poor posture, eg, hunched shoulders, with head and neck forward, chest caved in etc. He studied the energy systems of the body and devised Aquarian Age healing, now called Painless Spinal Touch Therapy.
Spinal Touch is a quick and effective light treatment, which affects the energy systems of the body, promoting a free flow of energy through muscles, bones and joints. A pattern of touch points, covering the spine, abdomen, shoulders and head are gently stimulated, releasing blockages in the spine and in the related muscles and organs.
The effect of this is to allow the body to realign with its Centre of Gravity at the Sacrum. The sacrum is a most significant and vulnerable part of the human body. Lying at the centre of the skeletal structure, it supports the spine and the pelvis. Physical or emotional trauma may cause displacement, which if not corrected, will progress to more widespread strain, distortion and ill health.
The intention of the treatment is to relax, release and regenerate the whole energy field. The patient may sometimes feel this as sensations of warmth, tingling or deep relaxation. The spine is realigned and the body brought back into balance. The change is often dramatic and pain is reduced or banished after one or two treatments. Usually the client feels as if they are standing taller and straighter.
It is usual to have three treatments of Spinal Touch to realign the body. I also follow the treatment with Reiki to increase its effectiveness. Obviously more long-term defects may require a longer period of treatments.
