Facilitated Stretching using Spiral Patterns
Isometric balancing is a technique for bringing the body into balance and ridding the body of pain. This technique stands out above the rest because it is used to turn on signals between the brain and the body, allowing them to connect by either lengthening or contracting the appropriate muscles. This allows the muscles to correct any poor postural patterns that may exist.
When the body has had a stroke or other serious injury that affects the nerve flow, it is like turning off a breaker switch in the body. The proper stages of rehabilitation cannot fully be attained without turning the switch back on. When that switch is turned back on, the body can then regenerate the muscles. Weak muscles become strong and the muscles that are overly strong become weaker. The body comes back into balance; further re-education and range of motion activity can help an affected individual to achieve pain relief.
This re-education breakthrough has helped to restore and enhance the quality of life from:

Jill Hayden, RMT
Jill has had 11 years in the medical field prior to this training. She is nationally certified and a state registered massage therapist in the state of Colorado, and has been practicing for 12 years as an instructor of isometric muscle and body balancing in a successful practice. Many have been able to enjoy improvements, if not full correction, of a vast array of problems including MS, MD, strokes, brain injuries, RSD and isolated muscle/joint problems. Additionally, she has experience in a fast-paced, intense physical therapy unit for six years, where she learned and applied knowledge in the proper stages of rehabilitation for various injuries.
She started out as a paramedic in 1985, and also worked in a busy medical clinic and injury rehab for six years. She was trained in isometric muscle balancing and then eventually went to a southeastern school for neuromuscular and massage therapy in 2000. She has also been in private practice for 12 years.
