THE WALLACE METHOD
HOW DOES IT WORK?
 A high percentage of pain and dysfunctional bodily systems are the result of misaligned bones.
WM is a systematic program for realigning the bone structure to bring it back into balance. It is a gradual process, putting each bone into right relationship with the preceding bone. The practitioner begins at the head, measuring range of motion and searching for blockages. One by one each block is removed, like working a Chinese puzzle…moving the bone (gently) until it slides into the correct alignment, opening the joint between that bone and the one preceding it. The process is continued for the length of the body to achieve optimal well being.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
The change gained by the practitioner in the relationship between the bones is accompanied by a gradual elongation of the attached muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Blood and lymph flow is increased in the opened space, nurturing and cleansing the joint. Once correction is attained by the practitioner, it can be maintained through personal work by the client.
WHAT DOES IT ACCOMPLISH?
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Pain resulting from misalignment of the muscular/skeletal system is caused when bones touch or push against soft tissue…blood vessels, nerves, muscles, or organs…or against other bones. The WM corrects the misalignment, removing the pressure and allowing healing. This process can be very lengthy. The condition has most likely developed over a long period, possibly even since birth. The WM creates an opening first to allow the bone to return to its correct position, moves the bone, and healing begins.
LIFE ENHANCEMENT
A number of side benefits (other than the original symptom) can be realized:
- Improved respiration from opening of the rib cage
- Improved circulation from releasing pressure on blood vessels
- Improved range of motion…enjoyment of activities, basic movements like turning to back up a car, simply owning your body again
- Relief from fear of pain by knowing that you can do something about pain for yourself
- Prevention of future problems by releasing areas which have not yet manifested symptom
- And doing it feels good
ARE THERE CONDITIONS FOR WHICH IT WILL NOT WORK?
WM cannot improve conditions which are strictly organic…with no structural involvement.
HOW MUCH TIME IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT CONDITIONS?
One–on-one work with a practitioner could last anywhere from three months to a lifetime. This work can be enhanced by conscientious solo and/or partner-work. For many clients solo/partner-work is all that is required once the original symptoms are relieved.
THE THREE MODALITIES
The Wallace Method is practiced in three ways:
- ONE-ON-ONE WORK
The practitioner initiates movement while supporting the structure, beginning at the head and working down the length of the body. There is a continual process of measurement to determine both diagnosis and progress.
To maintain and enhance range of motion achieved in one-on-one work clients participate in classes doing partner and solo-work.
- SOLO-WORK
Solo-work is the same as one-to-one with the exception that you provide your own support.
- PARTNER-WORK
Two or more people balance off each other and move to enhance their skills and to increase their body confidence. And to have fun!
