Matrix Repatterning Treatment 8

  Monday July 9, 2012

Wow, treatment 8 already!

Today's treatment session is how Matrix Repatterning got started and what it was all about for me.  
Today, besides a few other smaller body parts, my uterus was treated.  Yeah! finally!  Baby making time, here I come.  My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 8 years now.  We have tried several infertility treatments without any results.  My acupuncturist, which I started seeing after the fertility treatments failed told me I had a lot of tension in my digestive area.  Which all make sense now, because my uterus was pushing against them.  
I will explain.....

But first my symptoms from last Monday's treatments.  Only two small symptoms.  First I had a bit of a soar right shoulder which I aggravated at work because I was working above my head with heavy items.  And the second symptom was a pain in my head, at the back of my head on the right side.  This was probably due to the right side shoulder tension that I created.  Way to go me!  I push a bit harder at my job and hurt myself more.  What is a girl to do!!!!
So that's it, only two little symptoms.  They seem to be getting less and less with every treatment.  

On to today's treatment.  
My left hand still has that hard lump on it so Margaret treated my wrist and my hand around the lump first.  I am to keep an eye out on it to see if it gets smaller and/or goes away.  Can do!  

Next was the piece de resistance.  My uterus!!!  I know sounds strange that I was actually excited to have my uterus worked on but I have every right to.  I want to conceive again.  My son now is 17.  For about 11 years now I have wanted another child.  Even before my husband and I got married I stopped taking my birth control pills so I could rid my body of any and all chemicals, became vegetarian and also began to eat really healthily.  I wanted to have a clean and healthy body for myself and for my next pregnancy.  After we were married, it was on.  But no baby.  After 2 years, we went through three IUI ( intera uterine insemination) fertility treatments.  This is were they inject the sperm right into the uterus at my most fertile time of the month.  After three failed IUI's.   Chris and I decided to try one more time.  This time we went all out and tried the InVitro Fertilisation.  This is where the sperm is injected directly into the egg and fertilised outside of the body in a petri dish. Once fertilised for a maximum of 5 days, the embryo is then placed into the uterus in hopes to attach to the uterine wall and become a fetus and eventually a baby.  This also failed.  I know why now.  Then I didn't.  And it was extremely heartbreaking, not to mention costly.
  
Today during the treatment of my uterus, Margaret explained a lot of things to me.  Like, that my uterus sat 1" higher than it should have been which was putting lots of pressure and especially tension on all of my surrounding body parts like my digestive system and my ovaries.  My kidney's and spleen which were already treated had a lot of this tension placed on them as well from my uterus.  Now the reason my uterus sat so high and was enlarged, was from my first child.  Dylan, my son had stretched out my uterus and it didn't go back to its normal size.  Also my kidney's and spleen were out of place as well, not helping my uterus any.  Anyway, the reason the fertility treatments failed was because my uterus was all stretch and tension and not relaxed and normal.  Any embryo would have had a difficult time attaching to a uterine wall that was all stretched and tense.  There was no where to grab and hold on to.  Therefore no attachment occurred and no baby!  Well, today, Margaret treated this tense uterus and in the process of doing so, worked the bladder and ovaries as well.   Maybe now i also won't have to go to the bathroom so often either and my ovary will go back to its original normal position as well.
  
During the many ultrasounds taken at the fertility clinic, the technician always had a difficult time locating my left  ovary.  It was always out in left field, she would say.  Well, not anymore.  Thanks to Margaret and her Matrix Repatterning, my ovaries and uterus, bladder and my digestive system are all happy and tense free.  Aaaaahhhh!  So relieved.  
Margaret made sure to check with the indicator and her electrode ( metal electrical machine) to find all of the charged areas of my uterus.  The indicator, where she pressed with one hand while pressing with her other hand on a particular area of my uterus went extremely squishy, indicating that this area was extremely charged and needed some healing hands.  She treated the area and continued until every corner of my uterus was fully discharged. And rechecked them again to make sure all of the charged areas had dissipated.
That being done,  she moved on to finish my right shoulder.  
Margaret finished with my right shoulder, especially discharging the shoulder blade area.  She placed her hands on either side and with gentle pressure and waited until the electrical pulses stopped between them.  Moving her hands in a different position and waited again.  She rechecked with her electrode and the indicator to make sure all was well, and no longer squishy.  Then completed the left shoulder in the same manner.   Before we both knew it,  an hour had passed.  

Yeah!  I get to go for another treatment.   Oh, getting healthy feels so good.  My spine still needed a little more help and then my stomach.  And a recheck of my fingers too.  Lastly a full assessment  to check over my entire body and its flexibility and movement.  

Update:  My right finger still has not gone down.  It continues to have a thick middle.  
              My right shoulder didn't swell at all.  Just ached a bit one time.
              And my right knee no longer hurts. 
              I don't have to use any anxiety medication anymore either.  

One more thing.   After I got home today, after the Matrix treatment, I walked into the house I felt some discomfort in my uterine and digestive system area.  It's all in the same general area anyway.  So I think everything was just moving into its original positions as I had finally stood up for a longer period of time since the treatment.  Laying down during treatment and sitting in the car for the drive home.  So still no vertical gravitational pull occurred until I was finally at home standing in my living room at home.  I had to place my hands to almost hold my belly due to the discomfort.  Thankfully this feeling only lasted a few moments.  

Okay, until next time,
Stay Healthy,
Eat Well

Matrix Repatterning Visit 1

Yesterday, Thurs May 17,2012 was my first visit to Margaret.


So you can understand some of the assessments she made from my body, check out this video.  It will help to understand a bit more of what Matrix Repatterning is all about.

My first visit entailed a complete assessment of my body so Margaret could find where my problem areas are.

First I was to stand as she checked and recorded my posture.  All okay.

Next I was to sit on her massage table and she checked all of my reflexes.  My knees, as any normal doctor would, then my ankles and finally my elbows.  All had a response except my left elbow.  Weird!

Following the reflexes I was to lay down on the massage table and Margaret now completed an entire body mobility and function check of not only my external physical body, but the internal bones and organs as well.
She explained to me of a device she was to use.  Can't remember the name, but it basically is a rectangular, (about the length of the palm and half the size), piece of metal that is attached to a small machine that can be hooked on to her hip, once turned on releases electrical currents through it.

She checked the movement ranges of my arms and legs.  My left side seemed to have a little bit less range of motion than that of the right side of my body.  I also found out that my right knee sat higher than my left knee when i was laying down with my knees bent. (not normal!)

Next she used the electrical current metal to pinpoint if there were any problems with my internal body.
She placed one hand on my chest just below my left ribcage.  She would lay the electrical metal on a different area of my body, example my kidney and gently push on my ribs.  When she pushed my muscle by my ribs, they should be tight , if there was damage to that particular part of my body, the muscle she was pushing on would be squishy.
Margaret continued her assessment head to toe and recorded all of her findings.  Much to my surprise, I had issues with my kidneys and the back of my head ( nervous system/anxiety and memory area ).  I was not surprised to find that I also had issues with my right shoulder, as I had injured it during one of my Booty Camp Fitness classes at the end of February this year.   Also my pelvic area seemed to have some issues as well. Guess that shouldn't come as a surprise since all of the Infertility Clinic procedures the last couple of years had failed.  If my body was not able to conceive on its own due to years of unbeknown damage, how could forced infertility treatments help.  The damage needs to be corrected before my body is even ready to conceive again.

She also checked my eyes, tongue and teeth.  Eyes and tongue okay.  Bottom teeth reflect the bottom half of the body, so no surprise my bottom teeth had an issue.

Lastly she checked my feet, where she used  the opposite end of her reflex hammer handle to draw an imaginary line down the bottom of each foot.  The toes are to curl as she draws, but mine didn't.  Another issue!

Overall, Margaret had taken about 1 hour to complete her entire assessment of my body.  Yes, there were some big issues and also some smaller issues, but she said all can be corrected.  Yeah!

We booked the next 2 weeks worth of appointments.

I will keep you posted as to what happens next.
Keeping my fingers crossed.  But what will be, will be.  As long as I am getting healthier in the process, that's what matters the most.

Stay happy

MATRIX REPATTERNING

What the heck is Matrix Repatterning?                                                                        Tues. May 15,2012

I personally have never in my life hear of such a thing as Matrix Repatterning until 2 days ago.
A friend from work told me about her neighbour that has been going to school and learning about this therapy.  And it may help my infertility.
Her name is Margaret.  She is currently a massage therapist in Welland. She found out about Matrix Repatterning during a weekend massage therapy seminar in Toronto.
Margaret was so excited about this new therapy, that she immediately enrolled in a class and went home, told her husband she was quitting her job to start her own business as a Matrix Repatterning Practitioner.
She has finished all of her studies,  all of the workshops and has completed and passed her final exam.  All that's left to do is her thesis.  This is where I come in.

When I received the phone call from my friend I was a bit leery.  Like I said, I have never heard of any kind of therapy like Matrix Repatterning.  I made the call to Margaret to find out how this therapy could benefit me. As soon as I heard Margarets voice I could tell she was very passionate about this therapy.  I was on the phone with her for almost 20 minutes just hearing what the Matrix was all about.  She said she could have rambled on forever.  She gave me the website  MatrixRepatterning.com to check out too.  I spent about 1 hour going through and learning what Matrix Repatterning was all about, after our phone call.
Basically, she needed a BODY to work on to complete her thesis and recive her degree.  I was to be her guinea pig, if that was okay by me.  After hearing all about the miracles Matrix could do.  I was IN!!  I made an appointment for the next day.

Matrix Repatterning is a revolutionary new way of understanding, objectively assessing and gently treating the body.  It is in use around the world by chiropractors, physical therapists, sports medicine specialists, vets, massage therapists, athletic therapists and trainers.  It is a clinically-proven form of manual therapy based on sound scientific principles that restores structural balance, eliminates pain and improves overall health by resolving the problem at its source.  Literally at the molecular level.

Research has demonstrated that the physical effects of many injuries, such as falls, car accidents, sprains, strains, and sports injuries are absorbed by the dense core structures of the body, which include the bones of the skeleton and the fluid-filled organs (which react like water balloons upon impact).  The cells within these structures expand and become rigid with injury.  This is referred to as a primary restriction. A primary restriction causes the surrounding tissues, including muscles, ligaments, joints and other soft tissues to become strained and painful.  These symptomatic areas are usually the ones treated with most other forms of therapy, however, since the source of the injury within the core structures has not been addressed, this provides only short term relief and the condition tends to return.
Matrix Repatterning directly addresses the root of the problem, allowing for profound changes and lasting results.

The goal of Matrix Repatterning is to release primary restrictions in order to relive pain and restore normal function.
Everyone has had some kind of damage to a body part.  Stubbing a toe, breaking an arm, hitting your head, falling down stairs.  A sports injury.  As a child, falling off of a bicycle and hitting your groin. Twisting as ankle while running, etc, etc.
Matrix Repatterning will help heal all of the damage caused by these injuries that have physically affected the structural balance of the body.

Conditions associated with structural imbalance are,

headaches and migraines
head injury and concussion
dizziness and ear noise (tinnitus)
joint problems
snoring and sleep apnea
neck and upper back pain
low back pain
scoliosis
shoulder and arm pain
carpal tunnel syndrome
digestive complaints
gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD)
cardiovascular conditions
menstrual pain
urinary incontinence
erectile dysfunction
postural imbalance
hip, knee, ankle, foot pain
fibromyalgia
chronic pain
and apparently infertility

Matrix Repatterning is a clinically-proven method, which has been shown to resolve many of these conditions.


This video shows how Matrix Repatterning works.

Soo excited for my first appointment.  I'll keep you updated as to my progress.

Keep Well,
;)
