|  Your
body is a network
Your musculoskeletal system is a complex network of bones,
joints, muscles and supporting tissues like tendons, ligaments
and cartilage. So when you sustain an injury or have impaired
movement, a variety of structures can be affected. In fact,
the interconnected nature of this "network" can cause compensatory
postures, muscle tension and pain to develop in areas away
from the "real" problem.
"Abnormal forces" can affect your recovery
Most pain, impairment and injuries typically result in "guarding"
or have influence on other tissues. This exerts abnormal forces
on joints, muscles and supporting structures and can trigger
muscle overuse and muscle-tension problems that affect your
overall posture, range of motion and flexibility. Ultimately,
pain can develop at the site of muscle contraction, and your
body's healing processes can be inhibited or delayed... especially
if the "secondary" problems are never treated.
Using your body to heal your body
The Cornerstone Method is built on the concept that your relief
and recovery depend on treating your problem and the effects
it can have on the rest of your body. We use hands-on therapies
and in-clinic and at-home exercises to correct your presenting
problem and any muscle-tension or postural issues. More specifically,
we use "opposing" muscles to relax the tension to achieve
neutral posture and full flexibility so healing and pain reduction
can occur.
