How The Brain Tells The Body To Move - Dr Ekberg

so would you all agree that whatever it is that you checked off that you want to

improve or whatever it is that there's wrong with with with your body or the

function would you agree that there's something that isn't working right does

that make sense and if that something was working right then you wouldn't have

a problem that makes sense too so then with the next question is, what is

it that isn't working right what level of function what part is it that

isn't doing its job so we need to start thinking of the body in levels of

function and the lowest level is passive tissue that's the bones and the

cartilage fat tissue blood connective tissue it's all the stuff that if you go

to the hospital and they run a diagnostic test that's what they measure

they take an x-ray they see where what happenings with your bones they take a

blood test they see what sort of chemicals which kind of molecules which

physical particles are in that blood tests they're measuring passive tissue

which really has nothing to do with function it's an effect of something

else the next level up is active tissue and active tissue is muscle muscle is

the tissue that can change shape and it performs all the function in

so when you move a limb that's a muscle when your heart beats that's the muscle

when your blood pressure changes that's a muscle in a blood vessel that

constrict so the the passive tissue is a tertiary effect the active tissue the

muscle is secondary but the primary function in the body is the nervous

system the brain and the nervous system that regulates all function so once we

truly understand this this hierarchy we know that it doesn't matter if you have

an ulcer or you have a headache or you have a neck pain or if your can't digest

food whatever it is that's going on it is not the problem of the body part

because the body part is only acting on the regulation from the brain okay so

whatever the issue is there is an imbalance in the brain and the only way

that we can ever change it is if we change something about the brain

something about the way the brain perceives it so that's why we we measure

that in this office and that's why we use that as the yardstick to know when

we're making progress and when and when were done
