"Assisting the body to heal itself"
Myopractics is a profession in the natural healing arts. It uses a non-traumatic form of manipulation that enables the body to restore and maintain a state of well-being. The goal of Myopractics is:
Allow the body to function freely without tension, pain or stress.
Elevate the body’s vitality and ability to function at optimum capacity.
Restore the movement of all of the moving parts of the body allowing them to work as designed.
The basic underlying principle of Myopractics is “life is motion”. When in a healthy state, every part of the body has a particular innate movement. This motion is expressed in all cells, tissues, organs and structures of the body. Whether it is the larger movement of the rib cage, which contracts and expands with every breath or the smaller movement of blood circulation through an artery in the brain, movement is basic to sustaining life.
Through Myopractics motion is restored in whatever area may be restricted, so that the individual regains freedom of movement, freedom from pain, tension and stress.
An important premise of Myopractics is that the pelvis is the foundation of the body. It is the largest bone structure of the body and is designed to carry your body weight. If there is an imbalance in the pelvis, the body may shift the burden and tension and weight bearing into another area. The body can often create a restriction in an attempt to regain normal posture. Myopractics goes to the source of the problem; removing the restrictions, allowing the body the ability to correct itself and function freely. The purpose is not to put things “back in place” but to restore the motion.
