What is Torque Release Technique?

TRT is called a “tonal” technique because it normalizes the tone of the nervous system.  Imagine
that your nervous system has a volume control—if you turn the volume up to high, it causes
distortion (increased tone) which can show up as internal organ complaints, musculoskeletal
stresses, and diminished immune response.   The same occurs if the volume control is set too low,
in other words the nervous system is not sending enough messages to the body for what is
necessary to get the job done. (decreased tone)  This causes your systems to become sluggish,
they slow down function and sometimes simply turn off, the muscles become weak and do not
support your skeleton well, leading to all sorts of aches and pains.

TRT corrects these problems with increased or decreased neurological tone by normalizing the
functioning of the nerves, spinal cord and brain.  TRT is based upon correcting spinal
misalignments, called subluxations, primarily where the wrapping of the spinal cord and brain, the
dura mater, attaches to the spinal segments.   These attachments only occur in a small number of
sites in the spine; the upper neck area, the sacrum and coccyx.  The dura also attaches to all the
bones of the skull.

Torque release bases its technique on gentle touch and light thrusting by hand or instrument.  This
low-force adjusting method allows the nervous system to better integrate and understand the new
corrective information and to process it throughout the spinal cord and brain. Your spinal
corrections do not stop once you get off the table.  They continue as you breath and move.  You may
notice that you hear a click or popping sound in your spine later on the same day after the torque
release adjustment. That’s your body realigning and correcting its own subluxations.  Torque
release teaches and empowers your body to make more corrections and healing with ongoing care.

Because analysis and correction are not limited to just the area of pain and symptom, integration
tends to be more complete and healing experiences are deeper in all areas of the body, mind, and
emotions. Torque Release releases tensions on the spinal cord by correcting subluxations of spinal
segments intimately connected with the meninges or attachments of the spinal cord.  It leads to
profound neurological changes that benefit everyone – no matter what symptom or level of health
they are currently experiencing. The primary intent of Torque Release Technique is to progressively
reduce blockages and tension of the entire spinal system, to release trapped unresolved patterns in
the body/mind, and to facilitate reintegration of the nervous system, allowing a greater expression of
one’s healing and performance capabilities.

Dr. Jay Holder,the developer of Torque Release Technique,  is presently developing the efficacy of
the chiropractic subluxation in addiction treatment and is expanding The Brain Reward Cascade and
Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS), a model supporting the vertebral subluxation complex. The
1993 United States Senate compared Dr. Holder's Success in research to Michael Jordan's
performance in basketball. Author of 2 books, edited in several others, author of many scientific
papers and research studies, and inventor of medical, acupuncture and chiropractic devices, Dr.
Holder lectures worldwide and is in private practice in Miami Beach, Florida, since 1977.
Discover CranioSacral Therapy

CST was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific
studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and
Professor of Biomechanics.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system
called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and
protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release
restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health
measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems
associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

  • Migraine Headaches
  • Chronic Neck and Back Pain
  • Motor-Coordination Impairments
  • Colic
  • Autism
  • Central Nervous System Disorders
  • Orthopedic Problems
  • Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Scoliosis
  • Infantile Disorders
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Emotional Difficulties
  • Stress and Tension-Related Problems
  • Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
  • Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
  • Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Post-Surgical Dysfunction
What are Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques?  

The brain provides warnings to the body whenever blockages occur within the energy pathways.
These warnings include illness, pain, inflammation, fever, heart attacks, strokes, abnormal growths,
tumors, and various physical, physiological and psychological discomforts. If the symptoms are
minor, blockages are minor. If the symptoms are major, blockages are major. Minor blockages can
be unblocked easily, whereas major blockages take a long time to unblock.

Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET®, are a non-invasive, drug
free, natural solution to eliminate allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of selective
energy balancing, testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathy,
chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine. One allergen is treated at a time.
If you are not severely immune deficient, you may need just one treatment to desensitize one
allergen. A person with mild to moderate amount of allergies may take about 15-20 office visits to
desensitize 15-20 food and environmental allergens. Basic essential nutrients are treated during
the first few visits. Chemicals, environmental allergens, vaccinations, immunizations, etc. are
treated after completing about ten basic essential nutrients. NAET® can successfully eliminate
adverse reactions to egg, milk, peanuts, penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass,
ragweed, flowers, perfume, animal dander, animal epithelial, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke,
pathogens, heat, cold, other environmental agents. It may take several office visits to desensitize a
severe allergen.NAET® was discovered by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in November of 1983.
