can furnish the practitioner and layman with the knowledge and skill

pelvis. </font>

<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">When the
pelvis is not aligned absolutely it is in most cases the cause of
spinal, musculo-skeletal and skeletal problems. These problems
include lumbago, spondylitis frozen shoulder, hip and sciatic pain
extending into thigh, aggravated knee problems and similar
musculo-skeletal problems.</font></p>

<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">This
system is presented as an adjunct to existing therapeutic
disciplines, thus equipping the practitioner and to some extent the
layman with the knowledge and skill to help man and woman be free of

sports injuries</font></U></b><font size="-1" face="Arial"

Since the pelvis is the foundation of the skeletal frame, when not
aligned absolutely, it is in most cases the cause of osteopathic
pathologies as well as spinal deterioration and spinal
maladies.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">The ideas I introduce
exist as a result of previously pursuing three lines of
direction:-<br />
</font><b><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">1.
Observation<br />
2. Empirical work on myself and others<br />
3. Correction / Solution</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Observation</font><font
size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">:<br />
</font></b><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Through the
years it became apparent to me that people suffer greatly with
musculo-skeletal problems, which, as a practitioner of a number of
medical skills, I could deal with and bring some relief to most
people, but usually only temporarily.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Curing was always an
option uppermost in my mind and heart.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">I began to to
perceive that the various musculo-skeletal conditions anywhere around
the body were nine out of ten times, symptoms of a dysfunctional
pelvis and not problems that were disparate.</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Empirical work on myself and
others:</font><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0"><br />
</font></b><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">I observed
when diagnosing lumbago, osteoarthritis, spinal maladies, frozen
shoulder, tennis elbow, RSI wrist complaints, plantar foot pain and
other conditions mentioned in the above definition, that leg length
discrepancy and pelvic distortion were prevalent without exception
absolutely.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">The discovery that
nine out of every ten people have, in varying degrees these
debilitating conditions led me to conclude that two of the most
dominant pelvic lesions were:<br />
1. Iliac torsion (twist / tilt)<br />
2. Iliac inferior prolapse (drop towards ground)</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">These equal
subluxation / dysfunction of pelvis.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">When pelvic
correction was performed, leg length equalised, tension in the spine
eased and elsewhere.<br />
The pelvis is the foundation of the skeletal frame so that when
subluxation/dysfunction occurs (so very common) an immense strain is
placed on the pelvis's sacral component.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">The verticality of
the sacrum is forced to become partially oblique. Thus the vertebrae
of the spine which should sit square-on above the sacrum are made to
compensate in such a way as to cause them to suffer most of the
patholological/medical problems that humanity does not enjoy. Please
read-on.</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Correction</font><font
size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">:<br />
</font></b><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Through
several years experimenting with particular techniques, some
invented, some discovered, and some existing methods as in Muscle
Energy Techniques, and Japanese Sotai which I have adapted
successfully to re-align the pelvis. These techniques do not require
the percussive actions of the Chiropractor or the thrusting methods
of Osteopaths.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Arial" color="#6C18B0">Importantly, the
patient can be taught these methods which take a few minutes a day,
and thus 50% of the work to gain pelvic stability is passed back to
the back-pain sufferer (or any of the other problems already
mentioned) and he / she is re-empowered and more in control. The
practitioner takes charge of the remaining 50% to help gain pelvic
stability in whichever discipline he / she practices.</font></p>
