About CNS-Reset

Stress - When we experience emotional stress, it is not an experience that just passes.  It can be stored in the body.  Some people experience gastro-intestinal issues, and others muscular dysfunction.  If you've ever been stressed at work, or by a loved one, and have experienced discomfort in the body (often in the traps and shoulder blades), that is your nervous system storing stress in your muscular system.  Once the sensation dissipates, it is very possible that you are ailment free, but the issue remains.  

Trauma - If you have ever experienced physical trauma, such as banging your pinky toe on the coffee table, or falling onto a knee, and the area has just never felt the same despite what neuromuscular practitioners or scans might say, it is possible dysfunction is present.  

Overuse - If you are a person that sits at a desk for many hours a day with your hips flexed at all times, those muscles that flex the hips are in an almost fully contracted position for hours on end.  The body prefers to be in neutral, where the muscle fibers of the body are pulling at an equilibrium.  Staying in a position that is not neutral for extended periods of time end can cause dysfunction.  This area of dysfunction also the most directly influenced by imbalance in the postural system, and the main link between the two modalities. 

 We first start off with a comparative assessment of mobility.  We locate a limited range of motion by comparing the left and right side of the body in the general area of clients issue. 

 Then we put each individual muscle involved in the limited range of motion through a test of resistance.  The client moves into the position in which the muscle being tested is dominant. The body is a chain, however each muscle has a position in which it is more dominant than the rest (this is the most challenging position for the nervous system to contract that muscle). The practitioner than pulls or pushes perpendicular to the muscle fibers.  

 If the individual fails this muscle test (roughly about 10 pounds of force), we go to the points where the muscle attaches to the bone and apply pressure with the finger tips.  The attachment points of the muscle fibers are where a majority of the motor neurons within the muscles are located.  These motor neurons respond to the pressure.  Think of jumper cables to the positive and negative points on a battery.  

 We follow with a re-test.  

 The process is repeated until the range of motion on the limited side matches the opposite side. 

Imbalance in the unconscious postural system is caused by two main factors:

Dysfunction of the photomotor cortex (eye movement) and lack of stimulation to the soles of the feet.  

When we stand upright, our nervous system gets information from these two places to get an understanding of our bodies position in the space around us.  As this information gets skewed by the eyes seeing two different things at the same time from dysfunction of the muscular system in control of eye movement, and the feet being in shoes,  the nervous system adjusts.  However, these adjustments make us imbalanced.  When we provide stimulation to these two areas, it cleans up the information the nervous system receives and balance is restored.  

By stimulating these two places, we get the best bang for your buck recalibration of the postural system.  However, there are a few other factors that can attribute to imbalance, but to a lesser degree. They are:

A failure to integrate primitive reflexes in early stage childhood development

TMJ - Misalignments of the jaw (over/under/cross bite).  A tooth being removed on one side only can also have an effect. 

Microgalvanisms - Permanent metals on the body, EMF,  scars on the body that go multiple layers into the skin.
