Yes, there is a connection between Viral Infections and Structural Therapy. Here it is.
Structural Therapy is a complex system that considers the body from the point of view that nothing is without consequence, thus individual components affect each other. In the case of viral infections, we are focusing on two primary organs of the body.
The brain and the spinal cord are the only organs we have that are encased in bone. Because of that, they have the extra protection and structure that comes from the strength of bone. The reason these organs are protected like they are is that inside them are contained the core of the nerves that interconnect all the parts of our bodies. It is well known that when our nerves are physically functioning poorly, the organs to which they are attached are also not at their best. And, most importantly, our immune system — which consists of our nerves, organs, brain, spine, and antibodies — operates at a greatly reduced ability when the elements of our body are compromised.
Thus, to maintain our bodies in their best health, it is to our advantage to maintain the structural integrity of our bodies.
Simply said, when our structure is optimal, our nerves are optimal, and all the organs connected by the nerves in the spine function at their optimal abilities. So, if our body’s structure is as close to perfect as we can get it, there is the best chance that we will be in perfect health and unlikely to become ill.
But, life and the decisions we make take their toll. We eat poorly. We eat food that does not provide the highest level of nutrients as the same products did years ago, before GMO, additives, chemicals, fertilizers, etc. We don’t exercise adequately. We sit poorly. We pretzel up reading our phones and texting. We sit in front of computers all day. In short, we slowly but consistently destroy our posture. And when our structure is poor, all the parts of the body are affected negatively.
So, when a virus comes along, a virus like the Corona Virus, our bodies are not in the best shape to resist that virus’ initial threats nor to beat it back once and if it takes hold. We have seen in the Corona Virus Pandemic, the proof of this: those infected who are in the poorest physical condition are the most likely to die from their viral infection. Their bodies are not up to the task they were designed to perform in the face of a powerful viral assault.
When a patient goes through the process of Structural Therapy, their posture improves. The nerves running through their spines improve, and the organs on either end of those nerves improve. And their immune system can once again operate at the top of its ability. This complex process produces a body whose elements are at their best to resist current and future illness.
Your spine and your body’s posture didn’t get like they are in just the last few weeks. It’s taken years of misuse and abuse to arrive at its current state. Thus, repairs — long-term and permanent repairs — will take time.
To be healthy tomorrow, you will have to start today. Structural Therapy is a key component in restoring and maintaining the health of your body. But like everything you do, it can only happen when you decide to start; and then actually do it.
Good health is a decision only you can make.
It’s your choice. You decide.
