Over the past few weeks we have been seeing a lady who was experiencing excruciating nerve pain down her arm. There was no position that she could get herself in that alleviated the pain and it was especially bad at night.
Using P-DTR I was able to test what her nervous system was telling her body: a number of muscles around the front of her neck and shoulder were unable to relax, irritating the nerves that travel through them into the arm. P-DTR enabled me to track down and treat the dysfunctional nerve receptors that were causing her body to do this.
One week later she came back and reported that it was much improved until she had slipped in the shower! She had reached out with the problematic arm to stop her falling and found the wall. After this all of her symptoms had returned...
When she stood up for me to look at her she was standing with her shoulder, arm and upper back rotated backwards in a classic posture of withdrawal. When I pointed this out to her she tried to correct it which caused electric shock pain down her arm. Why was her body doing this?
Our body remembers by nerve receptors! A nerve receptor on her palm was still firing from the impact against the wall 3 days earlier. With this information her brain had done the only thing it could do to protect her; withdraw her from this remembered painful experience.
As soon as the receptors in question had been treated using P-DTR her posture immediately changed and the pain disappeared! Both her and I were amazed!
Our brain and nervous system are incredibly powerful, there is always a reason why we feel pain or why we stand and move in a certain way. P-DTR enables the WHY to be found and, more often than not, treated.
I await this lady's return to find out what she has felt like after her last session, with fingers crossed for no more falls or slips!
