When Brendan came in today he had to wait (normally he does not). He was quiet, relaxed and stayed in the waiting area with his Mom and Linda (homeopath). When it was his turn he got right up and went into the therapy room. He waited a little bit more for me, which is unusual, but remained calm and happy.
We decided not to do any NFB work this week as we are still figuring out what set off his last round of agitation and frustration. Work was performed soley on his head as this is what he requested. What was most impressive was the amount of work and pressure he allowed. This was one of Brendan's longest and successful sessions as an active participant.
His frontal bones were already hot and he requested we start there. For each manipulation we counted to ten pretty much the entire time. What was the most comforting was his happiness when working his occipital/atlas (O/A) area. This was the first time he allowed repeated manipulations. As each one went deeper he would laugh. You could visibly see his face relaxing.
He also allowed work on his eyes. His left eye in particular was hot and pulled in toward the nasal bone. This is the T-zone we spoke of earlier. It is a very difficult area due to the amount of internal pressure involved to break up a restriction. Brendan successfully worked through these areas multiple times. Brendan also allowed adjustments to his sphenoid, temporal and parietal bones.
When he had enough he said "Done" and rested comfortably on the table for about 10 minutes. He was calm, relaxed and smiling.
