What is the battlefield?

The battlefield is the full condition on the landscape of the body’s issues, and conditions.

Calm and balanced in some areas?

These are your fortification points to watch out for but not worry too much about.

Flaccid and loose in other areas?

These are the places where draining the flood may be necessary. If there is one check for functional draining or moving first. Once done, tilling the ground concept must take place in order for growth to occur. What does that mean? Re-educate the muscle and guide recruited muscles, as they are your aids seeking to help as you are but are around the area longer than you can be. As such utilize them appropriately, and don’t ignore them. Check for areas of blockages or dams in circulation or conductivity and unblock them. If there is no blockages check for flooded spots or swelling and reduce that first, then plant the seed and till the ground and build a new fortification by educating the muscles to function as they should and aiding recruiting muscle to educate its superiors and muscles of prime function. Sometimes, tilling the ground and re-education the muscles can be done simultaneously, but watchfulness is needed to ensure success of re-education is guiding muscles to work together to pump it out and achieve and balanced and fortified state.

Fighting and blocking areas?

Attend to why it is fighting first and seek to understand the root cause. Is it protecting or overwhelmed? If its protecting, is it protecting itself or a more damaged and weakened muscle and the mind has recruited it to do so and compensating to by time? If it is protecting itself address it directly. If it is buying time to help another become stronger, then strengthen and address the weaker and consider placing the seed to re-educate it, then ease the the fighting muscle gradually. Think in increment levels to balance the lever points.

What happens if you address the flaccid muscle?

If you address a flaccid muscle in this condition at say 2 increments towards strengthening, address the fighting to lower by one to help in the function as a whole to reach balance and a fortified state.

What happens if you only address the Fighting muscles to calm but strengthen the Flaccid?

If you put out the fire of the Fighting muscle and only strengthen the Flaccid you reverse the issue of leverage and remain out of balance.

What happens when you reduce the fighting muscle to match the Flaccid muscle?

If you reduce the fighting muscle to match the flaccid you have not reached balance, you achieved full stagnation and more work ahead of you and reduced time to obtain fortification or balance. Think of a flooded landscape which means the body can not feed appropriately and it can not move.

What happens if strengthen only the Flaccid?

Only strengthen the the Flaccid muscle. and your achieved a fortification state with no room to move and can’t adjust for further variables of unknown of the surroundings, A.K.A. a fort at war with itself. A fortified state that must close itself off or shatter like wrapped glass in sponge due to inability to negotiate changes of life.

How I operate you might understand based on these questions:

What are the problems showing up? What occurred that is out of the ordinary routines of your life? What is your occupation? What are your daily routines? What injuries do you have and did you have before your present conditions you’re suffering from? If you can identify the action, show or explain the action to me.

What type of treatment and experience can you can rely on and how have I have reached these conclusion?

12 Years of Massage Therapy Experience based from Chiropractic Clinics and a year in a Spa Facility. What is used, are treatment modalities and techniques that have been known to work based on cultural uses over centuries, and back research and data. What we believe here is although technologies change, most of the facts don’t change much. New names have been found for things known centuries prior. Acknowledge, past and don’t repeat their mistakes. Only improve upon what exists.

Lessons carried in treatment:

The mind can play tricks, the nervous system can be overwhelmed and deceptive; but the body, the blood, the relieving fluids and substances don’t lie. Your job is talk with the patients body to reveal the truth and guide it on the path that it needs.

-Leigh Simon, LMT

The body is a complex system your function is guide towards balance. Huang Di and Hippocrates gave us much to work with. Find the point Chuyo/Isorropia/Balance. You’ll be faced with two combatants on the battlefield of a patient. Jitsu/Stifos/Stiff and Fighting Muscles that will push back and resist, and Kyo/Chalaros/Flaccid muscle that will allow you in and do as it is instructed to go but will not be able to hold itself and perform its tasks and functions. They may be one whole muscle or at a Tsubo/Simeio/Point within the muscle. Thinking an entire muscle is the only thing to examine is a neglectful of the reality. As what is hidden is that there will always be a hold fort of the muscles that doesn’t want to give up. If the body worked that way what hope would we have when faced with utter disaster?

Do you use only one style at a time?

No. Use what works based on what is stated, desired, and discovered. If we have nothing to go on then its the shotgun approach. Start broad and on a macro-perspective to scan the battlefield and “poke” at areas along the way to determine best approach and best methods the body reveals and indicates
