It’s strength is that it allows for the presence of the “X factor” which I presume is where you are going…….I remember talking with James Cyriax once and enthused by his methods I asked him if he could explain why past methods had worked. He just shrugged his shoulders and asked me to anchor the patients shoulders while he performed a “Five Triple Plus Manipultaion” to the victims cervical spine explaining, whilst the patient was still present that CVAs are very rare and he has only experienced two in his life……..Times have changed that God …….
