A patient asked me if everyone I treat gets better since everyone in her family got well with therapy.
The answer is no.
Lifestyle and dietary issues are out of bounds.
I cannot control how you live or what you put in your mouth.
I deal solely with the ramifications of structural issues.
I am totally dependent on your body’s ability to heal itself.
The Gillespie Approach is most effective closest to birth.
Birth traumas are fresh with minimal body compensation.
Newborns demonstrate an excellent response to therapy.
That is why my big global push is for CFT on day one.
Therapy can be effective with most young children.
But as you age, layers of physical trauma and emotional trauma accumulate.
The fascial strains become more locked in.
More time is needed for your body to respond.
Some impatient people, from a culture of instant gratification, want one-visit healing.
That is a great concept but does not happen in my office.
Even though I discovered this work, I cannot magically heal you.
Since I am just listening to your fascial strains, you are directing your own healing.
Your fascial web is freeing up so you can heal yourself.
The Gillespie Approach is all about your healing.
My job is just to take you by the hand and guide you through it.
Above all, please remember healing is a process, not an event.
