MESA Chiro Healing Systems

I had a patient one time that came to me with this square-like pain at the base of their sacrum. I said challenge accepted. Four weeks went by with no change, which is weird because in 6 visits I was moving people out of pain about 75%, so I started to ask questions .

“May I contact the front of the hips?” And that’s when I started to feel all the knots and tissue “tightness” I normally feel with classic LBP. We did some muscle work at the front of the abdomen, and by the following visit , this 6 month old pain just magically disappeared.

I asked more questions, and as it turns out this person was managing PCOS with their primary care doc. That was wild.

This happened again with a construction worker, office workers, yoga teacher, and more.

For now I’ll drop that gem-if the low back is not healing and you’ve done everything you can think of, start to look at the anterior body.

Yes, the power that made the body heals the body, but we still have to know how to manage conditions properly so we can give the body in input it accurately needs.

12/11/25-Directing Vectors to the Spine

🪶 In order to facilitate a global adjustment we have to be precise and accurate. The prerequisites are body awareness and coordination.

🪶Tools like strings can help us visualize vectors so we can figure out how to position our bodies in space. We then practice these vectors over an over and over again before ever placing our hands on people.

🪶Once we know where “we” are in space, we can play 100% attention to the person on the table. This level presence is what helps us help people change their lives.

Teaching Cervicals: “it’s not about locking the joint and shooting through it. We gotta figure out what ROM the system actually needs”

We learn a lot of techniques at school AND the most valuable skill is to be able to respond to what’s right in front of us.

80% of the time I DO adjust by lifting the top facet off the bottom , and there’s that 20% of the time when I’m working with a heavily arthritic spine, or a system that has lost a significant amount of its range of motion in any direction.

I use the same principles of ease, of adjusting, into the system, etc. while also adapting to meet the needs of the system that is right in front of me. “Present time consciousness” means knowing when to adjust the way part IV tells us to (Lol).

Every. Day. We work on something different. Sometimes it’s strikes, sometimes it’s adjustments, sometimes it’s breathwork.

This medicine isn’t mine-i made a commitment to sharing it with anyone willing to listen and capable of holding it with integrity, and ecstatic the first Dr. Grasshopper is a bundle of joy with a massive heart and steady smile that shifts energy on its own.

I got the idea in Peru, developed it in Denver , and have started teaching it in Virginia.

Thank you 🪶
