ConTact C.A.R.E in the Founders words

Dale Speedy

​

A system for locating and releasing trapped bone pressure, ConTact C.A.R.E is a discipline which isolates the body's natural self-defence tendencies that have caused the body to Flinchlock® into compromised mobility. ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy perspective comes from the knowing that the body has a separate self-preservation system which is activated by surprise environmental pressure only. This knowledge has been gained from study and training in Judo and Kiaido-Ryu Karate to 6th dan Black Belt level. Basic anatomy and physiology are the only parts of the medical model used in ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy. Kinesiology is used to explain the inter-connected relationships between bones, organs, muscles and connective tissue meridians.  It is not used to do the work. ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy has identified a formula that releases trapped SHOCK from bone. ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy has isolated the body’s reactive self-defence system and recognises this system has the power to freeze the whole body or any part or parts much the same as the hand brake in a vehicle.

ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy does this by carefully re-enacting the original situation pressure and positioning, then using the “Flinchlock® Release Formula” which exactly replicates the surprise shock which caused the frozen contraction to set, we facilitate a controlled unravelling out to normal functional position. As the pressure drops, the bone shapes naturally reposition the bones.  The body’s natural seeking for the most effortless/efficient way to survive does the rest. Homeostasis is improved.

The clinical experience is non-intrusive and gentle, the techniques safe and very effective.
Consultations are carried out with the client fully clothed. We ask you to wear loose clothing for comfort.

ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy has observed that bone shapes and planes of the skull have corresponding shapes and planes in the body.  It is a purely pressure-for-pressure relationship with no connection to the brain – it creates the balance angles and pressure in normal function activities, e.g. lifting, and also the reactive moves created by external attack pressures. 

​​

The brain intends  -  the body reacts  -  we get hurt  -  the body reacts.

ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy works to free frozen body reactions.

What can I expect as a client 

• To be observed closely as you move instinctively around your injuries

• To be listened to closely as you tell the story

• To be supported in comfort

• To be educated in how the body instinctively protects itself under duress.

Animals
Each species has its individual self-defence preference, e.g. horses run, cows charge, dogs bite – therefore, each species is handled in their way; animals REACT away from pain and into comfort – we use this trait to know when we are in the correct place, i.e. leaning on the Practitioner for support.

​​

Horses
Horses rise from the ground front first and lunge off the ground with their powerful haunches.  They will run if they can and fight if they are trapped.  The horse situation is unique because humans ride them, therefore, the horse has to balance its own injuries with the rider’s injury pressures and then perform the task, be it stock work, dressage, or show jumping. ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy is uniquely qualified to treat the horse/rider situation.  It treats the horse, the rider, the effect that gear has on the horse, then puts the whole unit together to fine-tune the performance.

​​

Pets
Pets are always interesting to work with.  Letting the animal dictate its own comfort inside the bounds of safety always works best for a good result.   A lot of pets are put down because the vet costs are too high for some pet owners – in my experience, a lot of pets have amazing recoveries because it is bone pressure displacements causing the problem.

​​

Cows
Calving pressure paralysis is what started ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock® Release Therapy, and me being desperate enough to try anything to save them.  My pressure point training in the Martial Arts and some basic commonsense produced amazing results.  I believe there is huge potential to be achieved in increased milk production, better conception rates and improved udder health; with improved blood flow through the business end of a cow, simply by keeping the skeletal pressure at optimum levels. Treating rising 2 yr heifers can be a very effective way to introduce them to milking life,  also checking for any pelvic pressure incurred during mating.

In my experience 8%/100 cows on flat land and 14%/100 cows on hill country have pelvic injury pressure that can impede blood flow. Calving pressure paralysis commonly involves the Lumbar 1 vertebra and skull pressure at the base of the skull. In my opinion, padding head bales would save cow lives and thousands of dollars to farmers.

'Acceptance of what is' creates the foundation for change. ConTact C.A.R.E does this by supporting the injury exactly the way the client is managing it themselves.

These are the keys to our ability to help.
