move forward from traumas offers a much deeper healing and greater long-term success rate, and The Resiliency Program does all that!
The Resiliency Program’s History: The Resiliency Program was initiated by my encounter with a mother who was concerned with her daughter’s abnormal gait. During a routine chiropractic exam, I noticed that this teenager did not walk normally but rather swung her leg out and around. Her physical exam indicated no muscle weakness nor any joint limitations, so why was her gait so strange? This question had been baffling orthopedists, physical therapists and other healthcare providers for nearly a year. Talking with the mother and daughter revealed that the mother had been on active duty, a Colonel in the USMC, and that the daughter had been stressed over her safety. I switched my examination to look for hidden emotional traumas and stresses. I quickly found several hidden emotional issues that were weakening her whole musculoskeletal system and exacerbated her gait issue. The key reason for her gait issues had been found, it was not physical but rather trapped emotional trauma. Her care for the next several weeks focused on nutritional supplements to help her deal better with stress and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), I will explain this in detail later) to quickly and effectively relieve the trapped emotional trauma. Her gait, which has been abnormal for years, was restored to normal within weeks and her overall health was greatly improved.
The Colonel quickly understood the magnitude of the work that had been done to her daughter and enquired if her Marines with PTSD would benefit from this type of care. I explained that PTSD with the associated symptoms of; anger, anxiety, burnout, confusion, fatigue, depression, insomnia and pain are all caused by the mind and body
