The Kinetic Chain of Your Body and Why It Matters


One of the reasons why Dr. Sharon and I make such a good team is that we think alike way more than we think differently. One example is that we both take the time to thoroughly assess and treat the many areas of the frame which have the potential to contribute to a person's symptoms.
Quite often these many areas are not symptomatic in themselves. However, the many loads and avenues of force throughout the body, which are important to the coordination and contribution of complex activities we engage in, can become weak links in our frames. When left unattended and unresolved, these non-symptomatic, though contributory "lateral joints" and tissues may reactivate the symptomatic areas over and over.
We are proud of our work and the effort and time we contribute to each patient encounter. The following article, though written for professionals, provides further justification for going the extra mile and doing the thorough work everyone deserves to have.
