Matrix Repatterning
A term coined by the famous architect and inventor, Buckminster Fuller, to describe an interconnected structural relationship, composed of tension and compression elements.This is the basis of the geodesic dome, and has recently been revealed as the underlying structure of all forms of life on the planet - from viruses to vertebrates. Based on this model, the body reacts to the strain or force of an injury, by a molecular reaction, which tightens the fibers in the affected part. Simple physics dictates that the most dense part of the body will absorb most of the energy of an injury.
Research has shown that the areas most affected are the internal organs and their surrounding fibrous tissues, which contain the most dense substance in the body: water. Bone, which is also relatively dense, is frequently affected, while joints, muscles and ligaments (often the location of symptoms) are designed to give way with excessive force. They often become dysfunctional and painful as a compensatory reaction to a restriction in a deeper, denser structure. Spinal joints may go out of place as a means of accommodating the strain imposed by the primary restrictions, in order to protect the spinal cord. Restricted areas may be painless, but are usually extremely tender to the touch. Strain patterns result in a complex, interconnecting network of abnormal tensions, which may lead to many painful and imbalanced conditions of the body.
Matrix Repatterning is gentle, non-force treatment to relieve strain patterns in the body.
