What is the role for what most people think of when they hear chiropractic, the adjustments? What does it do? I don't want to ask you to sort of be critical if that's the word of a profession that you remember of it, but the fact that you aren't out there

So is it safe to say then that whatever the suite of underlying modalities are, from adjustments to taping to cupping to needling to active release to manual, you name it, the goal of all of these, and the more of them you can utilize the better, is to create a window in which the individual is safe and out of pain so that they may do the work to retrain a movement pattern and increase strength?

Okay, so let's kind of put this now all back together, right? We've kind of gone really deep down one of the three pillars. You now have basically two things you're trying to do. You're trying to do everything you're doing in concert with a broader agenda of change.

They come to Austin for two days, they do a whole bunch of assessments, They go away for six months, then they come back. Some of them go away for less, but a lot of them, they go away for a year.
