Password Pink 2012

Password Pink was again a huge success!   This is a great annual event in Maryville, and 97.1 De Ville does a great job sponsoring it!  Dawn did chair massage for almost 3 hours (she did take a break) and there were a hundred vendors - so much color and so many people!  A truly great day!  This is a photo from last year as I am in 'camera hell' and couldn't take any pix this year - sorry Dawn!

Headaches? Stiff Neck?

The spheno-basilar joint lies at the top of the spinal column.   It joins the major bones of the head, the parietal, the temporal and occipitant.    It is easily put out of whack by both physical bumps and emotional upheaval.   It can be “locked down” which is often described as a feeling of being out of touch with one’s surroundings, being depressed, etc.   “Locked up” creates the opposite effect, creating “hyper” tendencies or even “manic” expressions.   I have seen the most amazing results from using this Body Talk technique in response to complaints of headaches, TMJ issues, swallowing difficulties, not to mention “foggy head” and a variety of perception imbalances.   One woman came to me with a sudden onset of swallowing, talking and “locked jaw” symptoms.   Another came with migraine headaches that she’d had for over a year, with no pathology in a battery of tests.    The first woman was under extreme stress at work and came to see me the second day of her symptoms, a very short session including the balancing of the SB joint relieved all symptoms.     The second woman with chronic migraine experienced dramatic results with her first session – which also included balancing the SB joint.    This is a simple, non-manipulative correction that can resolve a variety of “head” and “spinal” issues.    Call today for an appointment if you experience any of the described symptoms, including forgetfulness, fuzzy-headedness, even chronic neck stiffness!
