The Body Restoration Technique ™ (BRT)

A non-invasive, hands-on treatment to reduce body stress thus increasing the communication throughout the body by way of stimulation of specific acupressure points.

 

 

New Breakthrough with Pain & Inflammation

Most methods of improving chronic pain and inflammation focus on the side of discomfort.  In BRT, we take a different approach by evaluating symptoms through acupressure point testing.  We have found in most cases that the primary blockage which is preventing a patient from getting long-term relief is located at a distant part of the body.  In other words, pain and inflammation is being referred from a “lack of communication” in a remote organ or gland.  For example; a blocked adrenal gland, which produces anti-inflammatory messages could be the source of pain in the back, neck or even finger points.  This new model of addressing pain and inflammation has greatly enhanced the speed and lasting effects of the body’s normal healing cycle.  It also explains why certain treatments might take months to stabilize as full correction only occurs when the primary cause is found.

 

 

How Does It Work?

Excessive stress from injuries, illness, infection and poor nutrition can overwhelm and overload the body’s delicate electrical system.  This excess surge in energy can cause the organ connections to become weakened like a blown fuse in your house.

It is at these sites of weak links where chronic degeneration and inflammation can occur.  Thyroid, liver, adrenal glands and ovaries.

The Body Restoration Technique simply restores communication to the weak links in the body.  Instead of treating disease, illness or even symptoms, the Body Restoration Technique is designed to locate areas of lowered resistance within the electrical system of the body.  Once found, a unique specialized method of affecting acupressure points is applied to increase communication and normalize resistance.  The body then has a better chance of healing and correcting itself.

 

 

Cutaneo-Visceral Reflexes

(Superficial Skin Acupressure Point-Organ Connections)

Acupressure is based on the principle that stimulation of a superficial skin point can affect the organs and glands internally.  In acupuncture, one inserts a needle into a specific point to help energy flow to organs and glands at a distant location in the body.  In acupressure, instead of using needles, a non-invasive gentle stimulation to these points is used to achieve a similar effect.

 

 

Dermatomes & Acupuncture

Many of the Acupuncture Points travel through Dermatomes (skin areas connected to spinal cord segments).  This is thought to be a reason why pain can be referred from a distant source.  BRT is a specialized method of assessing these superficial areas to find the actual source of pain.  In most cases, we have found the cause is not the same location as the effect (symptom).  Dr. Leger has spent years of studying and refining the evaluation part of his technique as the key is to “know where” to apply treatment.

 

 

How are these areas assessed and corrected through BRT?

Because the acupressure points are nerve points and nerves connect to muscle groups, BRT uses a unique type of muscle testing to locate the loss of nerve organ integrity.  For example, if a patient comes in with knee pain, BRT evaluates the symptoms to find if the cause is from the knee or a distant organ/gland.  Once the actual source is located, the technique is applied to various acupressure points thus improving the blocked communication.  We have observed that the pain and inflammation will immediately improve if correct communication is restored.  BRT is a method of finding out if the problem is at the site of complaint or a distant area.  In this way, a practitioner can be more efficient in helping patients and greatly improving recovery time.  In BRT we have found that this “blocked communication” cannot only prevent long-term improvement of chronic pain and inflammation but pain and inflammation can keep the body in constant “stress” mode. 

 

 

How does pain & inflammation affect the entire body?

It can prevent sleep; it can cause fatigue by draining the body of energy; and it can cause feelings of anxiety or even depression as seen in fibromyalgia.  Chronic pain and inflammation can drain and deplete the body of its adrenal anti-inflammatory hormones (cortisol) as well as its stress neurotransmitters (adrenaline).  By eliminating the source of pain and inflammation, feelings of well-being, improvement in energy, and normal sleep cycles can be achieved.
