Even As Matrix Repatterning Therapists we are often asked if we treat an array of conditions or specific diagnoses.
Often it is because someone has experienced “outside the box” types of results and wants someone they care about to receive similar results. It can also be partly because it can be difficult for people to grasp just what Matrix Repatterning Therapy is because, although the concept is quite simple, it is so different than how everyone else looks at the body and injuries. That makes it hard to understand what it may or may not help. So, when we are asked, “Do you treat Parkinson’s or Dementia, or Heart Arrhythmias, etc., we generally give a very similar answer.
The answer is “No, but…..”. Let us explain.
Matrix Repatterning Therapy (MRT) treats one thing. That is the effect of an impact and/or a lifetime of hard impacts to the body. The effect of those hard impacts is actually to the most dense tissues of our body; the bones, primarily, but also the most dense fluid-filled organs of our body. These dense tissues, according to MRT theory, absorb the energy of the impacts because they are fluid-filled (fluid molecules are dense and closely packed together) or they are dense themselves, like bone. The energy of the impact, absorbed by the dense tissues when the impact is hard enough, physically “blow out” the bone or dense tissue into an expanded more rigid state. This is measurable in bones and independent research has shown that this happens. Independent research at the University of Pennsylvania indicates that this may be happening in the brain when it is concussed (It is not conclusive). The brain is also a “dense” tissue unlike the lung, for instance, that has air space, or muscle tissue which is much softer than bone.
When we reduce this tension, we often see any number of symptoms or conditions improve, especially if they are related to the impacts a person has received in their life.
MRT, in a step-by-step fashion, reduces this tension. The dense tissues function as the frame that the softer tissues (muscles, fascia) and joints are dependent on. When we reduce this tension, we often see any number of symptoms or conditions improve, especially if they are related to the impacts a person has received in their life.
So, we don’t treat Parkinson’s, Dementia or Heart Arrhythmias. However, if a person had a history of impacts to the area in question that appear to have preceded the onset of symptoms it might be prudent to relieve the tension patterns that may have been a causative factor in the development of the condition.
We know, for instance, that a history of head trauma is often a sequela to Parkinson like conditions or Dementia. On the other hand, people suffer from those conditions for other reasons that do not involve impact trauma. It is our job as clinicians to do an appropriate history and exam to determine if impact trauma could have been a factor in the development of the condition and then discuss with each client realistic expectations about what MRT may or may not help with.
MRT does not treat the condition.
It only treats an underlying tension pattern.
One condition or diagnosis that we do treat is Concussion... because a Concussion, by its definition, is an impact injury.
We have found that relieving the underlying tension from the impact to the head that caused the concussion, many people receive significant benefit from MRT.
As a matter of fact, a leading expert in the field of Neuroplasticity, Dr. Norman Doidge, M.D., after a very extensive personal investigation of MRT declared it to be a “first line of therapy for many with a concussion” because he came to understand how the impact changes the dense tissue and how important it is to relieve that tension.
Clearly, we treat many people whose chronic pain and dysfunction is caused by a lifetime of impact injuries. We specialize in helping clients who aren’t getting the help they need from the soft and moving tissues being treated, like muscles, joints and fascia. But first, we try to determine if it was actually caused by impacts, even those many years before.
Whenever we are asked, “Do you treat… condition”, we always try to give a full explanation of what it is that we DO treat, what we DON'T treat and the positives and negatives of utilizing MRT so the client can make their own informed decision.
