The therapist surrounds the bone being treated with a snug hold, applying equal pressure on all sides. This is low to medium-level pressure and should feel comfortable and relaxing. You may even drop off to sleep during treatment. If you experience pain or feel that the pressure is uneven, you should tell your therapist immediately, so that they can adjust their hold or pressure. After 10-30 seconds, the bone starts to move and change under the therapists hands and they will move with you to facilitate the change. You may also experience memories or emotions associated with the injury. You survived it before, so this won’t do you any harm and processing it will help you heal.
In most cases, you will observe incredible changes in the bones and joints immediately. During treatment. You may be encouraged to take another look at or feel of the bone, have a wriggle or stand up and walk, so we can monitor your progress. Positive change often continues long after treatment, especially if you look after yourself well and follow aftercare advice.
