The Clinic has helped a range of problems in the past. Here a few examples.

Case 1

Miss TA  
25 years old
IT Manager

 

Presenting complaint: Suffered severe car crash during teens, broken left clavicle and pelvis, extremely traumatised.  Recently suffered viral encephalitis, recovered, but had to learn to walk and talk again. Lost the memory of 6 months of her life prior to the disease. Jaw pain from grinding teeth at night. Suffered with pain in her neck and abdomen, anxiety, fear of letting go of the painful events of her past (did not want to discuss). Very fidgety. Head always felt lopsided. Unable to run more than twice per week because of low back pain. Unable to pin point what she gets stressed about.

 

Examination findings: Pelvis twisted slightly and pubic bone out of alignment. Short leg on right. Right shoulder blade winged, left shoulder higher than right. Fixity at T6 and T7 in spine. Pupils dilated. 

 

Diagnosis: Still holding trauma in her body from both experiences. Elementally imbalanced in fire water and earth energy.

 

Treatment: Bodywork Realigned sacroiliac joint and pubic bone.  Balanced positive and negative poles of the sympathetic nervous system (flight and fright) by linking  Sphenoid and Coccyx bones, together with other calming work. Soft tissue work on the shoulders with brachial nerve plexus release. Relieved tension in jaw with polarity contacts either side. Polarity contacts to release cranial bones. Gentle rocking and polarity contacts over abdomen to release fear manifesting as tightness across musculature.

 

Polarity Yoga Air and earth exercises.

 

Outcome: After 3 sessions her face felt different and more relaxed, the pain in her pelvis and shoulders disappeared completely. Able to run 4 times per week.

After 6 sessions, head more balanced, beginning to trust the process and her willingness to let go of her past.  Cleansing tears more common place after treatment.  Able to identify better with her reasons for getting stressed.  Felt more gathered in.

Case 2:

Mrs. AD 
67 years old
Market surveyor

 

Presenting complaint: Extreme bloating around the abdomen, felt very heavy, very stressed, ate quickly, had bouts of constipation and diahorrea. Wind. Diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Takes Narazipan 1mg per day. Hair dropping out.

 

Examination findings: Abdomen distended. Constant gurgling from gut.  Talked fast and furious, never grounding what was said.

 

Diagnosis: Imbalance in air and fire elements.  The air element relates to movement i.e., lungs heart but also to passage of food in gut.  The fire element relates to the stomach (acid), liver (heat producing) and the digestion of food, but also the flight and fight part of the nervous system, the sympathetics.   Diverticulitis seen as imbalance in earth (elimination and fear of letting go) and air (movement).

 

Treatment: To calm both fire and air.  Bodyworks centred around relaxation to improve efficiency of gut. Polarity contacts over colon to release holding.

 

Purifying diet to clear excess mucus in gut, to reduce fermentation and improve condition of liver.

 

Then, health building diet, to eat more alkaline foods, good food combinations, less cooking of food.

 

Relaxation practice-breathing .

 

Outcome: After 2 sessions, abdomen less distended, no gurgling, irregular bowel movement eased up, no pain in the gut.  Bodywork calmed her down made her feel more balanced (air vs. fire energy). Able to sleep better.
