What is a Flinchlock?

A Flinchlock is caused when you absorb an impact by surprise. An example being – you bend down to get your cooking pot out of the bottom kitchen cupboard, you then stand up to a sudden ‘bang’! you hit you head on the open cupboard door directly above you.

In this surprise moment,  the Flinch reaction after the impact causes the body to lock the pressure and fright inside the bone – hence the word ‘Flinchlock. ’The body locks the pressure inside the bone instead of locks it out of the bone! This is what we call a Flinchlock. The Flinchlock is  a super sensitive area containing the actual pressure of the impact and the memory of the shock.

What can I expect from a treatment?

All treatments begin with a short intake form which documents your current injuries or areas that you’d like addressed. From there, you will be invited to take your most comfortable shape that involves the least amount of pain or strain (hopefully none). From there the practitioner will preform a diagnostic search for Flichlocked bones and then release them— all while checking in on your comfort. Movement away from pain is our goal, so if at any time you feel pain, please speak up.

What do I wear?

Treatments are carried out fully clothed. We ask you to wear comfortable clothing as you may be asked to move around in different positions.

How many treatments do I need?

This depends on the individual and the severity of the injury or trauma. Often two treatment creates major change but sometimes 3-4 treatments are necessary to produce results that last.

Does it hurt?

No,it does not hurt. There is no forcing or manipulation during the treatment, only support and gentle pressure were it is necessary. Treatments are non-intrusive, the technique is safe and effective.
