What is CMRT?
Chiropractic Manipulative Reflex Technique (CMRT) is used by our chiropractors as part of Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) adjusting protocol.
CMRT is a system of organ function analysis and treatment as it relates to the spine and the occipital tendon insertions. It is an effective approach to dealing with the viscero-somatic reflexes that are present in so many people; and are consequently a common cause of chronic subluxation. It allows for us to take a whole person approach to your health.
Your Mosman chiropractors Karli, Sandy and Lucy will use the technique protocol to assess which segment (T1-L5) needs to be corrected, and by working through reflex receptors in the abdomen and pre and post ganglionic reflexes a correction protocol will be followed. The approach is gentle but specific.
You may notice symptoms such as:
Flushing
Blanching
Sighting
Emotional release
Slower breathing
And these are a normal reaction and means we have created CHANGE!
Spinal Segment associations:

Changes you might find post CMRT adjusting include:
Reduced neuro-lymphatic congestion
Increased cerebrospinal fluid flow
Promotes lymphatic drainage
Removes nerve stasis
Improves circulation
Stimulates normal visceral activity
Every person is unique and thus no two people will respond the same. Chiropractic is an art and a science with the goal of removing nerve interference so your body can function at it’s optimum: working from the above down, inside out approach.
