How does the adjustment work?

A subluxation is stored stress/energy in the body. Energy which is stored is called potential energy. Therefore, there are subluxations/potential energy within all of us, ready to be released. Releasing subluxation is like pushing a boulder down a mountain. The boulder in figure A represents stored energy/a subluxation and notice how the boulder is sitting right on the edge of the hill, all it would take is a slight touch and the ball would begin rolling downhill. The boulder in figure B is sitting back on a flat part and it will take much more energy to get it moving. This is the concept behind the adjustments given at the Café of Life. Different levels of force are used because forces are stored in different tissues of the body. If energy is stored in soft connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, etc.) a light touch is usually used because of the density of soft connective tissue. Whereas, energy stored in osseous tissue (vertebra) usually requires a heavier force just as in figure B.
