Our bodies are designed with innately driven mechanisms for healing. However excessive stressors affecting our body, both from the external environment as well as poor lifestyle choices can inhibit our innate healing process. As a health practitioner it is my job to facilitate healing by reducing the bodies stress load and removing as many obstacles of healing as possible. In my experience and training I have found that there are 6 hidden barriers of healing that present in our office. The 6 barriers of healing are: food sensitivities, immune challenges, heavy metal toxicity, chemical toxicity, scars and excessive emotional stress. When any of these are present, chronic illness or pain can continue even with good care and if not addressed it is often impossible for a patient to recover their health. We use a system of testing the body through the bodies muscle response to stressors to find out if these hidden barriers exist.
