Hydration case history:
Charles came in with an athletic injury that just wouldn’t heal. He’d tried numerous things, including treatment from several sports medicine practitioners over the past several months with little result. He was a serious athlete and understandably concerned and frustrated about his condition. I noticed during our initial consultation that his skin appeared dry, rough and cracked although he claimed to drink ample quantities of water. During his first session the hydration technique was indicated. After his treatment over the next week he felt extremely thirsty and sweated profusely at night. By weeks end he was pain free. Upon seeing him a few months later I noticed how differently his skin looked. It appeared moist and felt soft to the touch.

Balancing hydration treatment:
First the practitioner wets a cotton ball, placing it in the client's belly button and asking if hydration is a priority. If yes, proceed as follows:

1. Leaving the wet cotton ball in the navel, the practitioner has the client place their hands on the sides of the head, just as for the cortices treatment.
2. The practitioner will then balance the cortices as in the previous treatment. Placing the left hand at the base of the patient’s skull and upper neck. While holding this position, the practitioner taps the head and sternum for a full exaggerated breathing cycle (inhale and exhale).
3. The practitioner will move their hand up one hand position above the one just done, again tapping the head and sternum for a full exaggerated breathing cycle.
4. The procedure is repeated until the entire midsection of the cortices has been covered.
5. Next the practitioner will cover the sides of the head. Alternating their hand to each side of the cortices (or the client can hold these areas), using the free hand to tap the head and sternum, again the client should take full, exaggerated breaths.
6. The practitioner retests the muscle, asking if cortices is still a priority. Sometimes the treatment will need to be repeated, or will not hold well. In this case other factors will need to be addressed with more advanced techniques.
