Abstract
A device and method of treatment to manage or alleviate pain in an individual operates such that, from any specific complaint point on the body, a series of specific, related points can be found such that treatment of those points, either singly or in some combination, will alleviate or reduce the degree of soreness of the original complaint point. Correlation is provided between the feet, torso, head, arms and legs.
Claims23
A method for therapeutic treatment of a point on a body of an individual that is tender and/or painful, the body having, a torso, a spine, a back, a front, feet, arms, legs, a head, shoulders, wrists, hips, ankles, a height from a top of the head a sole of the feet and a plurality of longitudinal body zones that progress laterally from a median plane, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a primary reference point on the body of the individual that is tender and/or painful;
- correlating the primary reference point to the torso of the individual to identify a primary referral point;
- dividing the height of the individual from the top of the head to the sole of the feet by four to determine a related referral measurement;
- identifying a particular body zone of the plurality of longitudinal body zones that progress laterally from a median plane, wherein the primary referral point is located in the particular body zone;
- using a measuring device, measuring approximately the related referral measurement away from the primary referral point in the particular body zone to identify a related referral point;
- and
- applying therapeutic treatment to the related referral point to lessen the tenderness and/or pain associated with the primary reference point.
A method for therapeutic treatment of an abnormality on a body of an individual, the body having a torso, a spine, a back, a front, feet, arms, fingers, legs, a head, shoulders, wrists, hips, ankles, toes, a height from a top of the head to a sole of the feet and a plurality of longitudinal body zones that progress laterally from a median plane, the method comprising the steps of:
- locating the abnormality on the body of the individual;
- identifying a particular body zone of the plurality of longitudinal body zones that progress laterally from a median plane, wherein the abnormality is located in the particular body zone;
- using a measuring device, measuring a whole number multiple of one-eighth of the height away from the abnormality in the particular body zone to identify a second location on the body;
- and
- applying therapeutic treatment proximate to the second location thereby lessening soreness associated with the abnormality.
