3 CLINICAL INSIGHTS
I. Peripheral symptoms sound sharp. Central symptoms sound wide
Peripheral nervous system drivers often show up as specific, evoked sensations. A burning tip. A shooting pain. A numb patch. Central sensitivity shows up when the story gets bigger than the pelvis. Migraines. IBS. chemical and food sensitivities. fatigue. Multiple systems, one nervous system.
II. The spine can be a test without becoming the treatment
If every spinal movement flares a patient for two or three days, that is not a failure of your technique. It is information. The nervous system is too reactive for a mechanical dosage right now. Rule it out. Then shift to what the system can tolerate.
III. Sometimes the biggest lever is not pelvic at all
For some neuro driven patients, the most meaningful improvement comes from general activity and stress reduction. Not because the pelvic floor is irrelevant, but because the driver is global. When the patient changes their state, the symptoms often change with it.

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Carl Rogers
Neuro cases often improve when the patient feels understood. Not solved. When the system stops bracing against the story, it has room to reorganize.
II. “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Marcus Aurelius
The flare is not just an obstacle. It is a signal about dosage. Use it to choose the right entry point.

1 QUESTION TO CARRY INTO YOUR NEXT SESSION
Is this patient showing a local nerve issue, or a nervous system that has become globally sensitive, and what would change if you treated the driver instead of the symptom?
