We know that symptoms are NOT the "true" problem. They are definitely worth looking at; however, symptoms are an expression of an underlying problem. Current medical research states that most underlying problems usually manifest because of environmental stressors.

1. Physical Stress (TRAUMA's)

2. Chemical Stress (TOXIN's)

3. Emotional Stress (THOUGHT's)

These are the three T's (TRAUMA's, TOXIN's and THOUGHT's) These stressors from our environment will cause directly or indirectly muscle damage, tissue damage or nerve damage. How do they do that you might ask? First we need to know the basics of how the body works...

"The Nervous System Controls and Coordinates all the Systems of the Body and Relates the Individual to Their Environment" Gray's Anatomy, 24th edition, pg.4

Our nervous system is also referred to as our life energy. Our life energy starts in the brain. The brain sends strength and energy down through your spinal cord like a river to all the vital organs of your body. Each one of your organs is 100% DEPENDENT on that nerve energy to keep you alive and healthy. The stressors in our lives add up over time and lead to the nervous system shutting down, some suddenly and some over time, like a dimmer switch on the wall turning the lights down. When the nerves shut down, they shut down the organs at the level of the stress and below. The organs shutting down lead to degeneration and eventually disease to that organ. It also shuts down the nerves to the muscles and will distort and weaken your posture (as muscles move bones). When your posture shifts...

It causes problems. Your posture is the window to your spine and nervous system. Your posture holds you up against gravity (a constant force 24 hours/day 7 days/week). Any postural distortions tell us which way your spine shifts (like scoliosis sideways or front to back), and where the kinks are in your spinal cord, which shuts down the nerve energy to the vital organs of your body leading to disease and infirmity.
