Matrix Repatterning

New Blood Test May Hold Key to Heart Disease Breakthrough

A recent study has demonstrated a clear correlation between the presence of a protein marker and the risk of serious cardiovascular disease.  Most interesting, from the Matrix Repatterning perspective, is the fact that this protein is directly affected by mechanical stretch or stress on the myocardium.

The Promise of Matrix Repatterning

At six years of age, she had fallen twenty feet out of a ski lift.  Typical of this feisty lady, she had landed on her feet.  Unfortunately, her tiny body could not support the force of her landing.  Her legs and pelvis were smashed and this little girl would begin a new life, one that would see her endure numerous surgeries and hospitalizations, not to mention constant, agonizing pain, as well as ongoing problems including dizziness, digestive problems and reproductive disorders, and a lack of sensation in her pelvis.

I outlined the basic premise behind Matrix Repatterning.  I explained that the tensegrity matrix (the basic molecular structure of all life on the planet) could account for how the body stores and locks in the pattern of strain at the molecular level.  I went on to tell her how the body is one continuous fabric made up of tiny triangular elements, sort of like a geodesic dome, and that a source of tension in one area is transmitted throughout the entire body.

A New Perspective on the Treatment of Athletes

I have worked with many elite athletes over the years and have always found the experience challenging and enlightening.  I say 'challenging' because of the level of excellence they demand.  It is not good enough simply to get a top-level athlete out of pain.  The demands they place on their bodies require that every part work at its optimal level.  Joints, muscles, ligaments and bone are required to perform at or near the limit of their tolerances, and are continually being subjected to tremendous forces of strain and impact.

I have found that, in order to meet these challenges and provide for the needs of these patients, it is essential to address the fundamental causes of structural imbalance.  Disturbances of muscle tone and fascial tension asymmetries are time bombs waiting to explode in the form of muscle and ligament tears and serious joint injury.  These events can destroy an athlete's career and, in my opinion, they are highly preventable.
