“I have two cases that I feel totally challenged. The first is a 67 year old male who slipped while
running and rammed his head into a concrete wall. He didn’t break any bones but he sure did
tear up his scalp.”
the first clue is probably something that i have not introduced to you yet! it relates to work in Physical Law that we will do next class (of course!). remember the ilio-sacral derangement when we get there in march. slipping is often a tip-off that there has been a pelvic derangement (good word, eh?) and that needs to be addressed as something of the highest priority before anything else can be treated- part of an algorithm in Physical Law. it will become clearer in Class 5! (hopefully?)
“I haven’t seen him for over three years. He would come see me for symptomatic
relief and once that was accomplished he was gone. Anyway….I treated with AOC for
three sessions and his body relaxed a lot tension and distortion but his head remained
in forward flexion 60 degrees. The left short leg of 1 1/2” with external rotation changed to
1/2” with less rotation . But he still couldn’t lift his head. So on his fourth visit, he says
Marge why don’t you use your old stuff. So I adjusted his cervical spine. He had a significant
anteriolisthesis of C4toC5 and C5 anterior to C6. Afterwards I continue to treat with AOC
after the adjustment. He is now able to lift his head up with a slight 20-25 degree flexion.
Pain has decrease significantly. During the session I work from SC2 to SC3
The x-rays reveals beginning stages of ankylosing spondylytis. He’s stiff all over.
As I was formulating my questions to you I realized might I address the tentorium and falx cerebri through the posteiror star to effect changes in the righting mechanism in the head and neck?
What have I missed that will help the body be able to support the head in an upright position?”
hard to know. i think i need more information, like what is the Upper Coil doing? CVJ, tent/fivr-pointed star, blanket, area ll possibilities, yet do not addres whatr he “tells” you when you get out of the way and truly listen? something very remote, like perhaps this i/s i mentioned, or scarum- sacro-coccygeal could be what he requires to support his head. use all of the tools in your toolbox! don’t be shy in treating locally as long as you are very clear about what yo are doing and why…also the inherent limitations. it is possible to treat mechanically locally to provide some symptom relief (knowing that the body cannot support your treatments) while at the same time working the Sacred Count to support the emergence of self healing and self-regulation! there is so much Grace available that the body will tolerate violating a few laws now and again for a good reason. you can achieve temporary relief working in SC3 before SC2 is happening…although sometimes it can really overwhelm and piss off the body- like in cases of RSD type or fibromtalgia stuff.
“The second case is a 42 year female with a severe scoliosis. She injured her back while
carrying her 9 month old baby in a anterior baby carrier. She came in with a forward antalgia of 75-80 degrees. After the 3 aoc session the antalgia is reduced to about 35-40 degrees but the body is not
able to hold it. She has less pain and is very relaxed afterwards. She seems to have accessory lines to her midline from the second chakra as well as a feeling of pinching in various places in the
notacord. I couldn’t say this was intact midline. Fragmented. I start in SC2 and move into SC3. And in SC3 in the upper coils there is a pattern in the PTF that feels really old and kinda frozen. She was in a body brace for over a year. Can this memory or residual of the body’s response to the brace?
If this is, how would you suggest I address it?”
as we will see in CLass 5 (don’t you hate it when i do that?) scoliosis is very complicated. mostly it resides in the Physical Law piece. but first, if Midline feels “incomplete” please consider the wisdom of working there first before anything else. it is the LAW (Spiritual Law that is.) so much can happen simply by attending to SC1 and SC2 and the energetic/shape/Coils related stuff before you start trying to intervene in the tissues. that’s number 1.
ok, for number 2, you have to HAVE TO know the nature of structural integrity (Physical Law, Class 5) so that you can determine whether the curve is intrinsic, where there is bony deformity that is the result of a genetically driven true defect of the spine. on x rays you see weird shapes and wedges for the vertebral bodies…so intrinsic vs…extrinsic.
extrinsic curves are where the spine curves, either in a C or an S shape in direct response to the spine’s compensation for a collapse and asymmetry of weght-bearing! i am not going to begin to go into it here, however the idea is that the spine curves because the foundation of its weight bearing is collapsed. and like any good structural engineer you MUST MUST MUST correct the foundation first before you have any real chance of correcting the structure, in the case the spine. we must see the curve and the spine in the context of larger units of function…and the whole body
“I would appreciate any or all suggestion for the two cases. “
hopefully this helps some.
