But therein also lies a problem. Often this accurate but limited information is the observers prognosis and so many other aspects of the contributing problems are never addressed. For example, how is it that those muscles decided to force a "mutiny on the body's bounty; pun intended though a little lame." Curtis was kind enough to send me pictures so I have more information than usual. Therein lies the second difficulty. Addressing this or any other spinal issues is unique to every physical design. For that reason the protocol will help most people but will often miss specific corrections for one individual person. Individual evaluation is the greatest key to get the most success for your time. Note that this is a problem I address on and off the site regularly. The condition of the physical we are looking at is often just lifestyle/activity driven and can be reversed. There are medical conditions that can be addressed but are in a completely different league and require medical attention. We will proceed with this condition as a reversable state of being just know that it takes time to reverse the structure of your body. Remember that the conditions that created the decline of alignment continue to show up in your lifestyle. As we all know, it's hard to get in an hour a day to exercise. If you look at the ratio of hours you live your life with the compelling influence to continue the decline and the fact that just an hour a day, over some period of time, will reverse it, I think we see the miricle of the body's preference for positive posture. Would that we could just throw off our schedules, exercise more and make it happen sooner; but still within the capability of the body to respond. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for most folks and neither is the short time frame we all think changes should happen. Patience and persistence and consistency . . . the secrets, if a secret exists, is now exposed. Vickie Vickie View Public Profile Send a private message to Vickie Visit Vickie's homepage!
