TREATMENT OF THE TORSO

TREATMENTS:

• Wrap around the points– One person– Two persons

• Screwdriver technique

• Bounce technique

Two personwrap around technique

* Torso *

Wrap around technique

• ‘WRAPPING THE POINTS’

• FIND TWO RELATED TORQUE POINTS• WRAP THE BODY AROUND EACH POINT

Wrap around technique

• The efficacy of the treatment is determined by the delivery of a vector that is equal and opposite to the body’s accumulated torque.

• This treatment (a vector that is equal and opposite) will yield a resultant force of zero and will relax the torque point.

• It is NOT determined by time (i.e. the treatment will be instantaneous if the wrap is correct)

Point unwinding technique“Screwdriver technique”

Point unwinding technique – Screwdriver technique

• Identify any two connected points on your pattern.

• Place your index fingers (or pads of two fingers) directly on these points.

• (One hand will be your treatment hand, one hand will be your listening hand).

Point unwinding technique – Screwdriver technique

• Rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to determine the direction of ease.

Left posterior superior thorax - Right anterior inferior thorax

Point unwinding technique - screwdriver technique

• With your treatment hand, derotate the point until you place it in the neutral position (i.e. the point where any further motion -clockwise or counterclockwise – tightens the tissues).

• This motion should be done as if using a screwdriver, twist-let go, twist-let go.

Point unwinding technique – Screwdriver technique

• Monitor this progress with listening hand to confirm the position of ease.

Point unwinding technique – Screwdriver technique

• Now switch hands so that your treatment hand becomes your listening hand and your listening hand becomes your treatment hand.

Repeat the treatment .

Pelvic points

Bounce technique

TREATMENT 3

• ‘BOUNCING THE POINTS’

• “shoot an arrow through the two points”

• LOCATE TWO CONSECUTIVE POINTS

Left posterior inferior thorax - Right anterior superior ilium

Bounce technique

SET UP OF VECTOR OF FORCE THAT DRIVES THE ENERGY AND THE MOMENTUM THROUGH THE FIRST POINT (external to internal) AND INTO THE SECOND POINT (internal to external)

Bounce technique

Your force MUST BE SPECIFIC.

It must be sufficient to feel the tissues be “puffed out” (from inside to outside) by the vector of force.

Treatment ofthe extremities

Extremity treatment

• The arms may be treated with any of the treatments learned in laboratory

• Wrap around• Bounce• Point derotation
