Sacro-Iliac [Sacroiliac] Balance

The sympathetic reflexes[1] govern the blood supply, and must be released first, through the perineum.

Release of the spasm is the first requisite to any correction and relief from pain. The blood must be allowed to flow into this stagnant area and carry away the debris of solid acid crystals and their deposits in the cell structure, before the muscles can contract without pain and spasm.

The energy field in this area is in a deadlock of POLARITY. The negative, contracting power or pole has the ascendancy - by the excess amount of dead material and waste which has accumulated - in the absence of the positive pole or supply of fresh 'Prana' through the bloodstream.

This principle of spasm is the same in any part of the body where 'Prana' is absent and the negative pole rules supreme.

'Prana' inlet is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, in conjunction with the parasympathetic function.[1] So, it is necessary that these two systems be treated first, to establish POLARITY AND A NORMAL ENERGY FIELD where function can take place.

Reactions: If any structural or spinal corrections are attempted at this stage, before the POLARITY is balanced and an interchange of energy flow is possible, the reaction and resulting pain will be bad. This principle holds good in any forceful correction, where reactions occur that are not constructive nor healing in their effect.

Muscle soreness, after treatment, is not to be considered a bad reaction, because it is due to the excess of blood flowing into the stagnant, locked-up area and carrying away waste. In short, this is a good repair process and natural effort to balance the two poles of solidity excess with the fluids and energy flow. The increased circulation here, causes a natural dilation of the cells and this results in temporary soreness which will disappear when the rubbish has been removed by this increased circulation.

Soreness is distinguished from pain very easily. It becomes less sore and disappears in a few days, and normal motion is then possible, without pain. Thus it is easy to diagnose between a constructive and a destructive process at work in the body.

General rule: All muscles and structures of the body go through the same process of depolarization, stagnation and engorgement
