Frequently Asked Questions


What happens during a typical 1st session?


Any medical history is reviewed and discussed.  A range of motion and total body manual scan is then performed to identify possible muscle and system weaknesses.  Based on the findings, Shawn will start manual muscle testing looking to determine muscle and system weaknesses.  Once they are discovered, precision palpation is applied to the origin and insertion of the muscle to REACTIVATE the muscle from its weakened state.  At this point the muscle can be retested to make sure the desired result is attained.      

What should I expect after the session?

In most cases, you should feel and immediate improvement.  Some people report some soreness a day or two later.  Other say they felt great and their pain never came back.  Every individual is different but most people say they have immediate relief.  

How long do the results last? How often should I see Shawn?

How long the results last depends on numerous factors.  There are over 700 muscles and systems that can be treated.  In a typical 60 minutes session Shawn tests and treats 25 to 75 muscles and systems.  He will treat what he thinks are the most important weakness that the client's body shows him.  In many cases, he may get the root cause right away and get the body to heal itself immediately.  Sometimes it may take a few sessions.  It is his goal to solve problems in as few sessions as possible.  On average, his clients get better in anywhere between 1 and 5 sessions. It is then advised to keep check ups regular such as every 8 to 12 weeks.   

What other important things do I need to know about the sessions?

Please do not wear denim jeans or skirts!  Exercise clothing is the best choice.  Shawn's clients stay fully clothed.  You will be lying on a massage table for most of the session.  Some of the palpations Shawn does may be tender.  Everyone has unique sensitivities.  During the palpations, some people laugh hysterically, some people feel the need to scream. Most people feel a little tenderness.  Shawn only stimulates each point for about 3-5 seconds so it is over very quickly.  If it is uncomfortable he likes to remind everyone that the achieved results make it worth it.
