You stay fully clothed. Get as comfortable as possible, then I assess your body for where pressures are held, these areas are unique to the client. I work quietly and steadily, allowing the body to show me where to support and help your body relax.
Most people notice:
a shift in balance
a drop in tension
a sense of feeling looser, lighter and freer
Every session is different, because every body has its own story.
How surprise skeletal impact affects the Body
When your skeletal system takes a surprise impact, it can begin gaurding to protect you from re-injuring so will:
change your balance and posture
tighten surrounding muscles, tendons, and fascia
alter joint movement and breathing patterns
interfere with coordination and comfort
contribute to stress, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity
Your body keeps adapting… until it can’t. That’s when pain, tension, headaches, overwhelm, or “I’ve never felt right since that injury” starts to show up.
What is a Flinchlock?
Flinchlock is a word that we feel best describes a point of bone that has been pressurised into a state of SHOCK.
This happens when your body takes a surprise impact - a fall, a hit, a crash, even a cupboard door to the head - and the bone instinctively locks up to protect you.
The body treats that moment like it’s still happening. That bone stays “braced,” and the tissues attached to it tighten to match. Over time, this tension becomes the body’s new normal, even though it’s not actually helping anymore.
When Flinchlocked bones are released there is an immediate shift in balance followed by an involuntary expanding and lengthening. As tissue expands, blood and lymph start to move creating a warm sensation in the worked area. As the body pressure drops it naturally reorganises its integrity.
Frequent Questions
I haven’t had any significant accidents or impacts, can you still help me?
Yes. This is a very common question. In fact most people don’t recall a significant impact situation related to their ailment. With our assessments we are able to discover imbalances and problems that you may not be not aware of. As your body unravels it is common that memories of an original event may come to the surface. Your current position starts to make more sense as you recall your history of impact situations and how your body has carried itself since. Where you are at right now is the sum of all of the events of your life.
How many visits will it take? Do I need to come regularly?
Everyone is unique, so healing time and visit frequency will vary. Generally, on average, clients feel their problem is resolved or have lasting benefits within 1-5 visits. Once a Flinchlock combination is fully released it is gone forever. This means you do not need maintenance visits for the same thing over and over. Getting regular appointments is very beneficial in assisting your health goals.
What should you expect after a treatment?
For the first 1-3 days after the session you may experience some minor discomfort or aggravation of your symptoms. This is a normal part of the body’s response as it unravels. It is common for the full benefit of the treatment to be felt after 2 - 3 days. Everyone feels different depending on their current situation. Healing is a process, and varies person to person.
How long can a Flinchlock be in the body?
A lifetime. A flinchlock can be created as early as at the beginning of life and be carried by your body for your entire lifetime. It is never too late to have treatment even decades after an accident.
