As a result of the review process, the Australian Spinal Research Foundation’s (ASRF) board have framed and adopted a conceptual definition of the vertebral subluxation. Further, this is a testable model that applies to research and practice. This model also reflects current available evidence and understanding. For the research agenda the ASRF, now clearly states: “A vertebral subluxation is a diminished state of being, comprising of a state of reduced coherence, altered biomechanical function, altered neurological function, and altered adaptability.”1
The ASRF also asks us to consider the whole person, the expression of the efficiency of the energetic system/coherence. Moreover, they specify that the above framework should not determine the implications of the vitalistic nature of the person (self-aware, self-organising, and self-healing nature).1
Always and forever you are whole and worthy regardless of the presence or absence of the vertebral subluxation. This beautiful comment reiterates the sentiment: “It is wonderful to aspire to something, to become a better person; we are here to learn and evolve. However, the degree to which you accomplish these goals will not determine your worthiness. We have nothing to prove or accomplish, nothing to do to become deserving. We are that already.”2
Health-wellness, and Life are nonlinear. NetworkSpinal provides a holistic view of tension and tone of the spine and spinal cord and how this relates to the expression of Life. Donald Epstein, like his predecessors, tells that some forces (thoughts, trauma, toxins) impact posture. When maladaptive postural shapes arise, this is an indicator of longitudinal stress and the reflection of defensive mechanisms that leave little room for versatility and expression. With the specific light touches provided by an NetworkSpinal practitioner, the bound energy in the spine and adverse mechanical cord tension can be released.
