How does such a gentle contact do anything?
Unlike modern medicine, most massage, and many forms of chiropractic and physical therapy, we are working with the body, not against it. If someone had a stiff neck, a MD attempts to chemically override you with drugs. A massage therapist will show that tight muscle who is boss by rubbing real hard and getting in real deep. A physical therapist and many chiropractors may use an electric pack or manipulation (cracking) to overpower your neck that isnt behaving. We do not look for areas that are locked up to try to overpower them. Instead we look for areas that are open and receptive for input. When found, a gentle contact is enough to give your body the information it needs to start releasing tension on its own. As this tension dissipates, the structure of your body optimizes using the energy of your own movement and breathing.
