BodyTalk discloses and works with the underlying causes of any type of arthritis rather than diagnosing the disease.  As always, BodyTalk uses the body's self-repair mechanisms to facilitate healing, re-establishing lines of communication in the body that have been blocked.. Sometimes the breakdown in the body's internal dialogue that brought on the arthritis occured many years ago, yet is only now causing discomfort.

BodyTalk approaches the entire condition from many different angles:

• The buildup of uric acid crystals around the joints (gout) can be addressed using the digestive and metabolic systems.

• Balancing the client to barometric pressure can help the body adjust to a difficult climate.

• An old injury or accident can be storing trauma or emotions, release of which can help relieve a client's symptoms.

• Parts of the body can be addressed through their consciousness.  Arthritic knees, for example, can be addressed through the consciousness of knees: fear of walking forward in life.

• The belief systems that dictate the rules by which we run our lives can affect the body.  An over-rigid belief system may cause stiff joints.  Releasing the belief system in question also releases the stiffness.
