Private Consultation in Integrated Orthopedics for Chronic Pain
Private Consultation for Neurorehabilitation:
About Susan A Matthews

In a personal and private session, we analyze in detail your posture and skeletal structure, including the shape of your toes and feet, knees, hips, spine, neck, and shoulders. We discover how time or injury has created uneven muscle tension and maladjustments in how your bones coordinate with each other, especially out of the central control in the hips. We also see how the entire skeleton has compensated for pain and uneven shape, and how it continues to compensate with stress and tension in order for the body to balance in an upright position. We can analyze how the forces of gravity have been acting on the knees, ankles and feet due to tight hips. We can also see how the shape of the thorax (chest cavity) is changed by tension form the hips and by emotionally protecting the heart. This, in turn, determines the stresses on the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists.

"I had blown a disc at L-1 which left me in chronic pain. When I started taijiquan and qigong 7 years ago I was on heavy doses of pain killers, my blood pressure was sky high, and severe allergies caused massive outbreaks of hives. I had severe wrist and hand pain. None of those conditions exist anymore."
—C. Hughes, R.N. Cardiac Care

The private session will teach you to begin understanding how to adjust each piece in order to integrate it smoothly, calmly, and eventually, effortlessly into the entire body structure. You will be able to approach healing your own body as a process of incremental changes that occur through the repositioning of each of its parts. Often information is revealed about the psychological position we adopt and hold because it is consistent with the character and shape of the body. Letting go of this position is often the mental and spiritual change we need to make in order to move through life in a different way.

You will be prescribed Personalized Therapeutic Qigong Exercises. By learning and employing specific relaxation, stretching, and moving that develops deep, internal strength and circulation in your body, these methods often alleviate many systemic problems as structure and function are intimately related. Correctly aligning your anatomy increases joint flexibility and circulation and allows your mind to move energy more willfully to increase blood circulation, to support maximum functioning of the internal organs, and to truly relax. Personalized Therapeutic Qigong exercises balance the immune system, the endocrine system, the nervous system, and the digestive system. 

"I just want to thank you for all your expertise in helping me overcome (and I feel cured of) a medium to large tear in my rotator cuff (I know that doesn't just happen on it's own), my arthritic knee, and don't forget 4% better in my bone density. I practice Tai Chi every day. Thanks a hundred-fold for your great teaching. Sign me on as a Tai Chi-er for life."  Pat

Therapeutic Tai Chi basic exercises also train for neurorehabilitation and neural repair. These are described in Brain Workshop™ training including: mental exercises, right/left coordination, engaging and integrating multiple sensory systems both physically and with mind intention, synchronicity, rhythmicity, and sensitivity training.

A videotape of the session is available ($65) and is essential to retain the volume of information presented and can be used as a reference tool over time if you are not in a regular class.
Above all, the information provided in a private session is to help you know exactly what to do to facilitate healing yourself. You are given concrete reasons and root causes for why problems may resist healing with drugs or with numerous treatment modalities and orthopedic adjustments which "don't seem to hold."
