I love Walt's advocacy of working from client based feedback. The chiropractor I worked for when I started 27 years ago wanted interactive body work. I developed a practice based on protective reflexes. Reflexes travel on Tom's Anatomy trains. Therefor as I touch on anterior trains it has effect on voice and swallowing and often evokes a cough. Connecting these in the mind of the client often evokes the question can I do this myself. Yes that is my goal that you understand what these symptoms are trying to tell you to deferent and what and how to do it.
