Introduction:

I. Introduction:Birth is the beginning of all life. However for babies, it is a


very stressful experience. They’re squeezed by hard bones and they’re
twisted in all different directions flexion, extension, hyperextension,
rotation, side bending. I have seen films of hospital deliveries where the
neck is literally wrenched. This does major damage to the upper cervical
vertebrae which are just barely formed they’re still soft. This can cause
sudden infant death syndrome. Many studies have proven this. We all
experience birth trauma. This can cause chronic muscle tension, emotional
blocks and body armor. It leaves us with a bad feeling. We identify with
this bad feeling as who we are, but it is not really who we are. Once the
birth trauma is released, we have a new reference point for our identity. In
this video I will demonstrate chiropractic and energy techniques developed
to release birth trauma.
Before we get started I would like to give you some background on this
process. Releasing Birth Trauma evolved out of the concept of adjusting the
spine in the position of trauma. For example with whiplash we adjust the
patient’s in flexion and extension. This concept came from Drs. George
Goodheart and Wally Schmidt. These are AK doctors who are very well
known in their field. It was told to me by a friend of mine named Dr.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 5 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Gobeaux from Washington, D.C. The concept fascinated me, I thought to
myself, if we can release whiplash trauma, what about birth trauma? So I
studied the birth process and through muscle testing determined an effective
treatment. We came up with seven postures that you could possibly adjust
in. For example, flexion, extension, hyperextension, right rotation, left
rotation, right side bending and left side bending. In going through the birth
canal, a baby is subjected to extreme stresses in all directions; bending and
twisting. After floating in a warm womb for nine months, suddenly thrust
out into a new world. This creates energy blockages, organ imbalances and
a bad feeling. It is frightened, angry, scared, and just tremendous stress.
This is an excellent treatment for your seriously ill patients. You know the
ones with the really fat files. It’s also a good treatment for patients with very
low vitality and your new age patients will love it.

In releasing birth trauma, we first determine the location of the old


emotional pain. That is, where in the body the upset is stored. It may be an
emotion in the form of a chakra imbalance or body armor. Next, the doctor
inputs these key points into the patient’s unconscious mind. Finally, the
birth trauma is released through treatments consisting of chiropractic
adjustments and the use of homeopathic flower essences know as the Bach
Flower remedies.

Chapter 1: Chakras

The term chakra comes from ancient India. Literally translated, it means
wheel. Chakras are spinning wheels of energy having to do with emotions
and endocrine glands. In locating the chakras on the body we will define
each region by its upper and lower aspects and identify them both on the
front and back of the body.

The first or lowest chakra is located between the inferior aspect of the pubic
bone and the coccyx. It is also called the root chakra and has to do with
security, such as food, clothing and shelter. It governs the spinal column.
The root chakra is an anchor for the body on the physical plane. It’s a
channel for the will to express itself. The emotional problem associated with
the first chakra is fear and is associated with a low will to live. Symptoms of
first chakra and balances include hemorrhoids, rectal polyps and
subluxations of the coccyx. The test points for the first chakra are inferior to
the pubic bone in front or on the coccyx in back.

The second chakra has to do with sex, procreation and creativity. It is
bordered by the umbilicus and the pubic bone in the front. In the back the
upper aspect is at L2-L3, the lower at L4-L5 and S2. The organs related to
the second chakra are the gonads. Second chakra imbalances have to do
with the reproductive system or the bladder and may include cystitis,
prostatitis, PMS, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. The second
chakra test point is just above the pubic bone in front or on L2 in back.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 8 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


The third chakra is located between the xyphoid and the navel in front and
between T-8 and L-1 in the back. It is called the solar plexus chakra and has
to do with power or the ability to take action, anger and digestion. Its’
counterpart in the glandular system is the pancreas, the stomach and the
adrenal glands. Symptoms of third chakra imbalances include hiatal hernia
and eating disorders. In the majority of people it is over stimulated resulting
in nervous disorders, skin eruptions, stomach, gallbladder and liver diseases.
The adrenal glands are connected with the will to express life. The test point
for the third chakra is on the xyphoid in front or on T-9 in back.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 9 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


The fourth chakra is known as the heart chakra. It’s located between the
sternal notch and the xyphoid in front. In the back the upper aspect is T1, T2
and the lower is T5-T6. The heart has to do with love, hate, anger and envy.
The gland related to the heart chakra is the thymus gland. This affects the
immune system. Symptoms of fourth chakra imbalance include such
diseases as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and myasthenia
gravis. The heart chakra can be related to all disease of the heart, the
circulatory system and the blood. The test points for the fourth chakra are at
the sternal notch in front and at T1 or T6 on the back.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 10 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


The fifth chakra or throat chakra is between the sternal notch and the chin in
the front and between C7 and the occiput in the back. The upper aspect is
the occiput to C2 and the lower is between C5 and C7. The fifth chakra has
to do with anger and communication or self expression. The glands related
to the throat chakra are the thyroid and parathyroid glands. An imbalance of
the throat chakra can cause vertigo, fatigue, sore throat, laryngitis and
hyperactivity. The test points for the fifth chakra are under the chin or at the
occiput on the back of the skull.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 11 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


The sixth chakra is on the frontal bone. It’s called the brow chakra. The
lower aspect is the glabella and the upper aspect is at the hairline in front. In
back it is between the upper and lower part of the occiput. The related gland
to the brow chakra is the pituitary gland. The pituitary is the master
controlling gland of the endocrine system. It’s the center for consciousness,
integrated personality, idealism, imagination, desire, thinking and worried
thoughts. People who are attractive, who excel in business and have an
enthusiastic capacity for leadership have very developed sixth chakras. Over
stimulation of the sixth chakra can produce serious diseases of the brain,
eyes, nose, ears and nervous system. Symptoms include sinus congestion,
hay fever, gigantism and acromegaly. In a case where the pituitary gland is
overactive, it is important to see if the cause lies in another chakra which is
under active. The test points for the sixth chakra are at the glabella in front
and just superior to the occiput in back.

The seventh chakra is the crown chakra. The anterior aspect is the frontal
border and the posterior aspect is the occipital border of the parietal bones.
The crown chakra has to do with spirituality. It is said that the seventh
chakra does not come into full functioning until a high degree of inner
development has been reached. The gland related to the seventh chakra is
the pineal gland which the ancient Greeks believed to be the seat of the soul.
The pineal contains vestigial retinal tissue and is considered by modern
physiologist to have the possible function of a third photoreceptor, the third
eye. The crown chakra governs the upper brain and the right eye.
Symptoms have to do with hypertension, brain disease, nervous disorders
and various other problems. The seventh chakra is also known as the throne
of consciousness. It acts like a computer relaying the truth from the higher
self to the conscious mind. Someone with a fully developed crown chakra
will exhibit an aura of light and the individual evolves from the human
kingdom to the spiritual kingdom. The test point for the seventh chakra
imbalance is at the frontal border of the parietal bones in front and at the
occipital border of the parietal in back.

Chapter 2: Armor

The concept of armor was developed by Wilhelm Reich. Reich attended the
University of Vienna in the early part of the 20th century, where he had the
opportunity to associate with such giants as Sigmund Freud. One of his
primary contributions to the field of psychology is his recognition that
mental and emotional conflicts are in fact rooted in the body. All modern
psychotherapies that work with the body can be traced back to him.

Reichʼs concept of armor is that of a muscle spasm due to an


unexpressed emotion. All emotional conflicts and blockages reside in
the muscles of the body forming what he called body armor. Body

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 14 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


armor serves the function of encasing the body in a protective
muscular shell. This keeps out not only painful but also pleasurable
stimuli. Armor impedes the flow of breath, life and emotions
throughout the body. Reich reasoned that if character armor, which
contributes to unhappiness, actually resides in the body, one could
relieve and dissolve the armor and thereby the neurosis, by working
directly with the body.

Armor can occur in: any organ or on top of any vertebrae or in any
muscle. Armor in the erector spinae muscles can affect the curvature of the
spine. Armoring at C1, C2 or C5 can effect hypolordosis of the neck. Armor
in the lumbar spine can effect hypo or hyperlordosis of the back. Always
suspect armor whenever there is back pain. It can also occur in any organ.
Emotional upsets are stored in the body as imbalances in the chakras, the
body’s energy center. Organ imbalances are stored as body armor. For more
information on releasing chakra’s armor, we recommend the Chakra Armor
Release of Emotions videotape, also available from Excelsior Productions.
Prior to performing the releasing birth trauma process, it is essential to
understand muscle testing. Muscle testing or applied kinesiology, is a
simple technique by which the clinician can communicate with the patient’s
body. It is based on an electrochemical reaction. A test muscle will appear
weak when key points on the body are stimulated. In using muscle testing, it
is important to be sensitive to your individual patient’s responses. Let’s
watch as Dr. Rettner reviews the correct technique for muscle testing.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 15 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Chapter 3: Muscle Testing:

I would like to demonstrate the correct procedure for muscle testing.

1. First find a strong indicator muscle. The most convenient one is the
pectoralis major clavicular. This chest muscle helps bend and turn the
arm at the shoulder. Have the patient hold their arm straight out, level
with the shoulder, palm out and thumb pointed towards the floor.
2. Push down on the forearm, towards the feet and away from the body.
3. When you test, be sure not to push too close to the wrist or overpower the
patient. This will give a false reading. Push only to the point where the
muscle locks.
4. Tell the patient you’re going to push down and out and ask them to hold
their arm in place.
5. When you say hold, pause for a moment to allow the patient to resist. If
you don’t pause, you may overpower the patient and get a false reading.
6. In order to obtain information from patients that may be blocked from
their conscious memories, it is important to get their absolute cooperation.
What we ask is “If your innate intelligence is willing to cooperate with us,
your arm will go weak with a yes answer.” Give me a yes answer.
7. Then you can ask “Give me a no answer.” Are you a man? Are you a
woman?

Chapter 4: The Technique Consists of:

1. First, test the arm, have the patient think of being born, then retest the
arm. It will probably appear weak.
2. Next, find the emotional block either chakra or armor and find the Bach
Flower that cancels that out.
3. The third step is to complex in all the points in flexion, extension,
hyperextension, right and left rotation, right and left lateral bending.
4. The fourth step is the complexing adjustment.
5. The 5th step is to do the tail wag adjustment, both in prone and extension.
6. The sixth step is to do the CARE. In other words, all the energy will be in
a chakra, so you have to bring the energy up and out.
7. The last step you give the patient the Bach Flower that you found in the
beginning and they say an affirmation.
We will now review the locations of the test point for the chakras on the
front and back of the body.

The first chakra can be tested right at the level of the coccyx.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 25 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Chapter 6: Test Points:

In releasing birth trauma, there are approximately 30 key points that relate to
the physical and emotional trauma associated with birth. These points relate
to the specific organ or energy imbalances. Each of these points must be
tested in all of the body positions encountered in the birth process.
The first six points are tested with the index finger.

C6 anterior left, C2 posterior right, T2 left, T1 right, T9 left and T-11 left.

The next six


points are for
armor. They are
tested with four
fingers held
together. Test
for armor at the
right transverse
processes of C1,
C2 and C3.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 26 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Test at the left transverse processes of T5 and T9 and at the center of the
sacrum at the second sacral tubercle.

Test the coccyx with your index finger and all of the centers of the brain
with an open hand.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 27 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Test for organ armor with four fingers held together at the thyroid, the
thymus, the heart point, the spleen and the adrenal glands.

Test the organs with one finger. The heart point, the spleen point, and the
adrenal point.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 28 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Test the systems with the back of the hand at the sternal notch.Test the
chakras with a flat hand approximately two inches from the body.

Test the elements using the index finger on the middle toe.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 29 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Chapter 7: Polarity Therapy:

Polarity therapy is a form of magnetic healing discovered by a chiropractor


named Randolph Stone. In polarity therapy there are 5 elements. There are
reflex points on each of the toes for each of these 5 elements. The first
phalanx or great toe is known as the ether toe. It represents the ether
element. The second phalanx is called the air toe. It represents the air
element.

The third phalanx is called the fire toe. It represents the fire element. The
fourth phalanx or water toe represents the water element and the 5th phalanx
or earth toe represents the earth element. In releasing Birth Trauma, the fire
toe or fire element shows up most often due to the tremendous amount of
anger that gets stored due to the birth process, For more information on
polarity therapy, we recommend the dvd “Your Healing Hands, The Polarity
Experience” it’s also available from Excelsior Productions.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 30 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Chapter 8: Complexing:

In releasing birth trauma there are approximately 30 key points that relate to
the physical and emotional trauma associated with birth. Each of these
points could be released individually in all body positions. Alternately they
may be complexed for release as a single adjustment. Dr. Rettner will now
explain complexing.

In these techniques, we are working with energy imbalances, rather than


spinal subluxations. So instead of doing several separate adjustments, which
would be very time consuming, we can complex them into a single energy
release with one adjustment. This is not a spinal adjustment. We are simply
stimulating acupressure points alongside the spine. These are the steps for
complexing:

Find a strong indicator muscle.

Therapy localize the test point by touching it and testing the arm. If it is out
of balance, the arm will appear weak.

Each time you find a weak point, tap the top of the patient’s skull at the
bregma with your fingers. Do this with as many points as you like.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 31 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


To complete the process place a diagonal hand across the right breast. If it’s
a male doctor testing a female patient, take the patient’s hand and have them
place that across their breast. Test the arm, it will be strong.
Next, place a diagonal hand across the left breast. Test the arm and it will be
strong.

Place the fingers together under the xyphoid. Test the arm, it will be weak.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 32 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Adjust T-11, L1 and T-7 in three phases of respiration with a double
activator. Tell the patient to breathe in, breath out and take a neutral breath.

Retest the arm and it will appear weak, if the procedure was done correctly,
because the patient is in a state of yin. In a few moments it will be strong
again.

If you don’t have a double activator, you can stimulate the acupressure
points using your fingers. Place your thumb and forefinger on each
transverse process and tap your fingers gently with your fist.

Chapter 9: Actual Session:

We witnessed an actual session of Releasing Birth Trauma. The process


consists of first determining the location of the emotional upset and finding
the appropriate Bach Flower Remedy to release it.
Asking Questions:What we did first was to test the patient’s arm. Next, I
asked the patient to think of being born and then re-tested. It appeared
weak. “If your innate intelligence is willing to cooperate with us, your arm
will go weak for the yes answer.” Give me a yes answer, resist.
Do you have any birth trauma in your body?
Is it emotional?
Is it in armor, chakra, first, second or third chakra? First chakra, second,
third, fourth, fifth or sixth? Third chakra.
Next, I tested the Bach Remedy for the third chakra. What I did was
therapy localize the different Bach Flowers. We found Chestnut Bud. It’s for
not having learned life’s lessons.
Having determined the emotional location of Holly’s birth trauma, Dr.
Rettner then complexed each point and tested it for a release.
One of the exciting parts about Releasing Birth Trauma is that we have
subluxations and energy imbalances don’t appear in the normal positions
that we adjust patients, which is prone and supine. So, we will illustrated
that by showing you. We tested the neck. C1, C2, T1 and T2 were okay.
Next, I asked the patient to bend forward. C1, C2, T1 and T2 all showed up.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 34 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Next I asked the patient to arch her back. We tested the same vertebrae
again. C1, C2, T1 and T2 were all weak. I also checked the organs. The
heart, adrenals and spleen were all okay. Again I asked the patient to bend
forward. The heart, spleen, and adrenals all showed up. What we got here
were hidden subluxations and hidden energy imbalances. Next I took you
through the different postures.
Postures:

Flexion:The first posture was flexion. I asked the patient to bend forward. I
complexed all the points in the position of flexion. The first vertebra I
complexed was C6 on the left in the anterior aspect of it; then C2 on the
right; T1 on the right; T2 on the left; T9 on the left and T11 on the left. I
therapy localized with one finger. Next, we went to the hand mode of four
fingers for armor. C1 on the right, C2, C3, T5, T9 and S2. Next, we did the
coccyx with one finger. Then the centers of the brain. Right occiput, left
occiput, right temporal, left temporal, right parietal, left parietal and frontal
bone.
Next, we did systems:I asked the patient to bend forward and tested her arm.
Then we did the organ armor:Thyroid, thymus, heart, spleen and adrenals.
Next we did the organs: Heart, spleen, and adrenals. Then we did chakras.
It is usually the third chakra in the front, sixth chakra now. seventh, there
were quite a few out of balance. Last we did the polarity elements, tell the
patient to sit with their knees bent. Touch their middle toe and test their arm.
This is the fire element, the middle toe. We finished the first posture of
flexion.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 35 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Extension:The second posture is extension, arching the back. We switched
arms for this. Ask the patient to arch their back and test C6 anterior left, C2
posterior right, T1 on the right, T2 on the left, T9 on the left, and T11 on the
left. Armor at C1 on the right, C2, C3, T5, T9 and S2. Touch the coccyx
with one finger. Test the centers of the brain:occiput, temporal, parietal and
frontal. Next we did systems, then organ armor and then the organs. Then
we do the chakras. Then the polarity elements. Ask the patient to bend their
knees, hold their arm up, arch your back and therapy localize the middle toe.

Hyperextension: The next posture, we will need some assistance because


it’s hard one to maintain, its called hyperextension, it’s when you arch all the
way back. Arch your back all the way back. Switch the patient’s testing arm

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 36 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


each time. Make sure and switch the patient’s arms each time because they
do wear out doing a lot of testing. Again, C6 anterior left, C2 posterior right,
T1 on the right, T2 on the left, T9 on the left, T11 on the left and then armor
at C1; C2, C3, T5, T9, S2, and coccyx. Centers of the brain occiput,
temporals, parietal and frontal. Then we did the systems, we did the
extroceptive system. Then we did organ armor. Then we did the chakras.
Ask the patient to bend their knees and we did polarity. We completed
hyperextension.

Left rotation: Next we did left rotation. C6, C2, T1, T2, T9, T11; armor at
C1, C2, C3, T5, T9, S2, and coccyx. Centers of the brain: Occiput,
temporals, parietal and frontal. Next we did systems. Organ armor, organs
and chakras. Ask the patient to bend their knees to do polarity elements. We
have completed left rotation.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 37 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Right Rotation:Then we did right rotation. C6, C2, T1, T2, T9, T11, armor
at C1, C2, C3, T5, T9, S2 and coccyx. Centers of the brain, systems, organ
armor, organs and chakras. Ask the patient to bend their knees to do polarity
elements. We have completed right rotation.

Right lateral bending:Next we will be did right lateral bending. Bend all
the way to the right side. C6, C2, T1, T2, T9, T11. Armor at C1, C2, C3, T5,
T9, S2 and coccyx. Centers of the brain, systems, organ armor, organs and
chakras. Ask the patient to bend their knees to do polarity elements.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 38 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Left lateral bending: One last posture tilt in the other direction, side bend
to the left. C6, C2, T1, T2, T9, T11; armor at C1, C2, C3, T5, T9, S2, and
coccyx. Centers of the brain: Occiput, temporals, parietal and frontal. Next
we did systems. Organ armor, organs and chakras. Ask the patient to bend
their knees to do polarity elements.
Complexing Adjustment:Next we did the complexing adjustment. Ask the
patient to sit up. Then ask them to place their hand on their right breast in a
diagonal across the nipple and test their arm. Then ask them to place their
other hand on their left breast like in a diagonal and test their arm. Then go
under the xyphoid with 4 fingers and test their arm again. Everything is
complexed in. Then we did the actual adjustment. Adjust T11, L1, T7 in 3
phases of respiration-neutral, inhale and exhale. It went weak. Then we did
the tailwag adjustment. Ask the patient to lie face down.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 39 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM


Tailwag adjustment:The next step is the tailwag adjustment. This combines
the adjustment of the coccyx and the sacral base, in order to release
emotional stress. The sacral base drop adjustment is administered after
complexing is completed. We’ve been complexing in the coccyx, we still
need to adjust it.

With the tailwag adjustment the patient touches the forehead, that keys in the
emotions. Test the hamstring. Make sure it’s strong.

Copyright © 2009 Raphael Rettner D.C. All Rights Reserved.Page 40 WWW.CHIROVIDEO.COM

Bach flower testing:

To complete the process, we now retest the chakras and administer the Bach
flower remedy. A second remedy will show up as needed to clear the
remaining chakras. The patient then reads the affirmations for each remedy.
This allows for consciousness growth.
We tested to see which chakra was out of balance. Throat chakra. Chestnut
Bud will fix that. That’s the one she had earlier. Ask the patient to open their
mouth wide and place 3 drops under their tongue. Now the energy has
moved up to the sixth chakra. Test for one more Bach flower. We’re therapy
localizing these. Then we gave the patient Cherry Plum for extreme stress.

Now the energy has moved up to the seventh chakra. All that energy that
we’ve complexed is in this one spot right now and will be released in a few
seconds.

Put your hand in front of your forehead, but don’t touch. This is going to
draw the energy out of your body when we do the adjustment. The
adjustment is T2-4-9. Take a deep breath in, let it out. Now I want you to
focus on being born, think about being born and how that would feel. Take a
deep breath in, let it out. Now, the magic moment, hold your arm up, and all
that energy is released.

Patient’s reaction:Now, tell us how that feels. “Light, floating, I feel good.
Tingling here. I just feel light.” Pretty powerful? We’re going to give you
some affirmations to say now. The first one is Chestnut Bud and the second
one is Cherry Plum. These will release some of the underlying emotions and
help reprogram this to be more positive. Chestnut Bud here and there’s
Cherry Plum. So, why don’t you say that out loud with feeling.

Reading affirmations:Chestnut bud: I learn to observe the patterns within


my life experience. I am willing to learn from my life’s lessons. I am a
spiritually evolving soul.

Cherry plum: I seek balance and equanimity, even under stress. I surrender
control to the wisdom of my higher self. I know that my life is guided and
protected by a higher power.
Great. Thank you doctor. You are welcome. Great, you look shiny. Thank
you, I feel shiny. You’re all opened up, kind of teary eyed. It’s great. Thank
you for the session.

Conclusion:

Imagine all of us being freed from physical and emotional trauma that we’ve
had since birth. I am happy to share this information with you. Releasing
birth trauma is actually quite simple and it can be done during a normal
office visit. It releases deep-seated problems that have plagued us for our
entire lives. It is excellent for your seriously ill patients with low vitality. It
will give them an energy boost they will never forget and they will get well
faster too. It’s a favorite with the new age patients. It will give them a
floating feeling and they will feel very mellow afterwards.

I hope releasing birth trauma will be useful in your life and your practice and
assist your patients in achieving a happier, healthier lifestyle.
