Total Body Modification (TBM) is a technique that is used to find the organ or area of the body that is stressed, determine why it is stressed and correct the problem by restoring balance to the nervous system.

It has been taught for the last few decades that all of the body functions are controlled by the biological computer within the body.  By using the test points and an indicator muscle, we can test the various computer programs within the system.  Then, using energetic and soft tissue corrections, we can re-align the function of specific computer programs, thereby restoring function and communication within the body.

If  the body programs run too fast or too slow, pathology can develop.  TBM can normalize that flow of energy by balancing the body's computer programs.  TBM corrects the functional physiology (how the body works) which may, in turn, influence structure.

How does the TBM work?  The nervous system is composed of the Central Nervous System, which runs the voluntary function or movements and the Autonomic Nervous System which runs the involuntary functions of the body, such as heart beat, digestion, etc.  Each of these systems are further divided into Sensory and Motor Fibres.  The brain is the primary control for both branches of the nervous system.  Sensory Fibres carry messages to the brain where they are processed, like a computer, and the brain in turn, tells the body what to do.

Research has proved that under sufficient stress, from any reason, the neurones in the brain centers which are controlling the stressed organ or body part essentially depolarize.  This is like blowing a fuse or electric circuit.  The message gets to the brain but fails to return.  The result is that the brain (computer) loses effective control over the afflicted organ or body part.  This leaves the organ or body part running out of control.

Using reflex points and muscle testing, the practitioner then stimulates a specific area of the spine in an attempt to stimulate the neurones in the brain to repolarize (fix the fuse) and allow the brain to regain control of the body and guide it back to health.  Since a correctly functioning nervous system is a major requirement for health, it follows that TBM can have a part to pay in almost any problem and uncover and correct the roadblocks to recovery.

THE POWER THAT MADE THE BODY - CAN HEAL THE BODY

TBM has taken that original philosophy and explored the possibilities of self regeneration inherent in the human body.  We have found that if the right thing is done to the right body at the right time in the right way, miracles happen.  We are able to test and correct most of the known body functions.

The human body is an integrated unit, and the body functions are separate activities that interact and communicate with each other in a myriad of complex pathways.

How did TBM Originate?

Total Body Modification evolved from the minds and insights of Dr. Victor Frank and the late Dr. Harold Havlic.

Dr. Robert Riddler, a chiropractor and diplomat in both Radiology and Applied Kinesiology, began to explore further the body's healing potential beyond what applied kinesiology had already successfully demonstrated.  He found ways of accessing the body's bio-computer through the use of body touch points discovered in applied kinesiology, as well as in trigger point therapy and acupuncture.

Dr. Riddler simplified and expanded the concepts of applied kinesiology and began teaching his work in California and Canada to share this information with colleagues, such as Dr. Victor Frank and Dr. Harold Havlic.

Doctors Frank and Havlic started a new philosophy called "functional physiology".
