How does McTimoney-Corley therapy work?

The Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System control all body processes. The nervous system send signals via nerve impulses all over the body to create an action or response. The spinal column is protected by the spinal vertebrae, which are held in position by ligaments and muscles. The nerves exit between the spinal vertebrae influencing every aspect of the body's physiology either directly or indirectly from the tip of the ears to the intestines, the bottom of the dock to the laminae of the hoof. As long as this communication system is not interfered with, the body can operate properly and efficiently.

Increased muscle tension due to muscle spasm, scar tissue development due to injury, or incorrect riding can cause normal vertebral and other joint mobility to be reduced. This can cause pressure on the nerves exiting the spinal column and/or through pressure exerted by muscle spasm. A nerve under pressure becomes irritated and sensitive and after a prolonged period causes atrophy (degeneration). This reduces the nerves ability to conduct its signals to the areas of the body it supplies. Therefore demonstrating how the lack of nerve signals can cause dysfunction of organs and muscles.
The McTimoney-Corley treatment uses specific adjustments using bare-hands to help restore movement to the joint and relieve pressure exerted on the nerves allowing nerve impulses to flow freely enabling the body to work efficiently, restoring muscle function and joint mobility.
