90 | Is an Adjustment or Manipulation Really Putting You Back In Place?


Listen Later

Love the feel-good crackles and pops when you receive an adjustment? Feeling helpless and in pain, because you can’t get to your PT during lockdown? “Once you pop the fun don’t stop?” Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom spill the truths about what is really happening when you receive an adjustment. In essence, it all comes down to “talking” to the tissues and the brains’ perception. Dr. Jen provides insight into her previous beliefs around her scoliosis and the manual therapy she received. By talking into the beliefs that surround physical adjustments and how they are used to reel clients back, Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom educate you with scientific literature and empower you with ways in which you can start to achieve that feel-good adjustment sensation in the comfort of your own home.  Finally, they speak into holistic health and how feeling something different in your body expands beyond movement and physical manipulation, but into food, sleep, environment, and most definitely, your mindset. Listen in to re-educate yourself around the beliefs around physical adjustments.
