  • Publication number: 20090124865
    Abstract: This invention provides unique technology, systems and methods of treatment of stress induced afflictions in the musculoskeletal system, the vascular system or the nervous tissue. More specifically, the systems comprise diagnosis of a stress-induced consistent tightness on the right side of the cranial, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral spine, referred herein as “The Twist”, and utilize “Stress Relief Methods” to reduce The Twist to resolve any afflictions associated with it. The invention comprises a coordinated series of untwisting dynamic motions, spinal manipulation and/or motion palpations that result in release of nitric oxide and relief from pain. The systems and methods of the invention therefore provide the benefits of increased nitric oxide release to maintain homeostasis in pulmonary vasculature. The invention also provides methods of training others in the correct use of the Stress Relief Methods to prevent and treat afflictions associated with the Twist.
