Calming Emotional Trauma with Resonance - A Chiropractor's Experience
Meet Dr. Tami Nelson, a seasoned chiropractor and certified practitioner in a wide variety of advanced techniques. Based in Western Massachusetts, Dr. Nelson brings over a decade of expertise and a compassionate approach to her practice at Hampden County Chiropractic. She's trained in a diverse background of chiropractic care- from Cox flexion-distraction, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular re-education, soft tissue mobilization, Activator technique, Koran Specific Technique, OTZ, Cranial Release to motion palpation. Dr. Nelson has honed her skills to support her patients in achieving optimal health and wellness.
Sharik and Dr. Nelson crossed paths at a conference a while back, where she was able to try the Rezzimax Tuner and the innovative Rezzilience Technique. Her firsthand experience speaks volumes about the potential of this approach to alleviate mental trauma and promote deep healing:
What Did Dr. Nelson have to say about the Rezzilience Technique?
In her own words, Dr. Nelson describes her initial encounter with the Rezzilience Technique as “powerful and moving.” When introduced to this method by Sharik, she immediately felt its impact. Initially, she noticed a tightness in her head and heart, with her heart aching so much that she instinctively rubbed it. However, after repeating the technique the next day, something remarkable happened. She experienced a profound release and an opening, a shift she describes as a "true, wonderful experience." Inspired by this transformation, Dr. Nelson was eager to share this technique with her patients to support their healing journeys.
Could I have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
Most of us has all heard the term "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)". We usually think of our brave Veterans returning from service, having seen and experienced such horrific actions that most of us will never have to see, thanks to them. What we might not realize is that PTSD can be just as common in our everyday lives as it is on the battlefield.
In it's most basic definition, PTSD is a mental health condition that arises after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It can occur from an acute experience such as a car accident, or repeated exposure to trauma, as we sadly too often see in domestic abuse. For those of us trying to grapple with its effects, we often experience intrusive memories, flashbacks, heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, and an avoidance of triggers related to the trauma. PTSD can severely impact a person's daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life if left unchecked.
You've Got Options for Overcoming PTSD & Trauma
Most common current treatments for PTSD primarily focus on therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its specialized form, Trauma-Focused CBT, are widely used to help individuals process and reframe traumatic memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another effective therapeutic approach that uses guided eye movements to help individuals reprocess trauma.
Medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often prescribed to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety associated with PTSD. There are some more recently explored interventions like virtual reality exposure therapy and neurofeedback which are showing promise in treating this condition by targeting the brain's processing of trauma in innovative ways.
Emerging therapies, including resonance therapy, offer a holistic approach to healing PTSD. By addressing the nervous system, resonance therapy helps regulate stress responses and supports emotional recovery. When combined with practices like breathing techniques and stretching, these methods offer a synergistic strategy for addressing the physical and emotional components of trauma.
How We Calm Trauma from Multiple Angles
Mental trauma, whether it's derived from past experiences or chronic stress, can leave deep and lasting scars on the body and mind. The Rezzimax Rezzilience Technique offers an effective, discreet and drug-free approach to coping with traumatic experiences by targeting the nervous system directly. Here's how resonance therapy, breathing techniques, and stretching can work in harmony to reduce the burden of trauma and enhance emotional well-being:
1. Resonance Therapy
Resonance therapy uses gentle vibrations to stimulate key nerves, such as the vagus and trigeminal nerves. This stimulation helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm. By addressing the nervous system at its core, resonance therapy facilitates the release of stored emotional tension. The rhythmic vibrations help the body re-establish a natural balance, allowing individuals to process emotions more effectively.
2. Breathing Techniques
Intentional, deep breathing is a cornerstone of trauma recovery. Techniques like diaphragmatic breathing and box breathing activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which counteracts the body’s fight-or-flight response. Controlled breathing not only helps reduce stress hormones but also improves oxygen flow to the brain, enhancing focus and emotional stability. When paired with resonance therapy, breathwork creates a synergy that deepens relaxation and fosters emotional resilience.
3. Stretching and Movement
Trauma often manifests as physical tension, especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, and chest. Gentle stretching and mindful movement help release this tension, improve circulation, and reconnect individuals with their bodies. Stretching activates mechanoreceptors in the muscles and fascia, sending calming signals to the brain. Combining these movements with resonance therapy amplifies the benefits by aligning physical release with nervous system regulation, making it easier to let go of deeply held trauma.

4. The Mind-Body Connection
The combination of these techniques creates a powerful trifecta for healing. Resonance therapy addresses the nervous system, breathing techniques calm the mind, and stretching releases physical tension. Together, they help break the cycle of trauma stored in the body and mind, fostering a sense of safety, balance, and emotional health.
