MATRIX REPATTERNING FAQ

What is the matrix?

As you may already know from grade school science, the body is composed of cells. Less commonly known is that the shape and mechanical properties of cells are held and determined by a structure called the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton extends from the interior of the cell as binding proteins on the exterior of the cells. These binding proteins connect to other cells, creating a fabric interwoven throughout the body in what is known as the matrix. 

How does the matrix affect you?

Although resilient, when the matrix is impacted by significant force through injury, the following absorption of this force leads to the rearrangement of molecules within the binding proteins that leave the structure at the area of injury more rigid. This area of rigidity is referred to as a primary restriction. 

As the matrix is interconnected throughout the body, a primary restriction affecting the matrix will produce tension outwards affecting even other areas of the body. Depending on your lifestyle and health, you may be more prone to developing other injuries that create other primary restrictions - further restricting the matrix. These additional injuries and their effect on the already restricted matrix increase the likelihood of strain and pain from seemingly minor injuries.

How is the treatment implemented?

The entire body is first assessed for possible primary restrictions. Symptoms of pain are then corrected through the use of gentle hands-on techniques employed onto primary restrictions in which the end result is the restoration of balance to the body.

How do I dress?

The treatment is done over your clothes but we do ask to wear lose clothing or sports attire to speed up the process for assessment

Why can’t I wear anything metallic?

Metals such as watches, belts, and even underwire parts of a bra can influence the electromagnetic tools we use to find the primaries or root cause of discomfort.
