When it comes to coMra again and again you will hear the phrase treat locally and systemically.

WHY?

And what exactly does it mean?


Firstly, to clarify the terms local and systemic, a little.

Local treatment will be referring to a specific area of the body, for example the knee and all the different types of cells and tissues in that area. Such as nerve cells and tissue, muscle cells and tissue, bone and cartilage cells and tissues, etc.

Whereas systemic treatment is in reference to the overarching systems of the body that influence and regulate all local reactions within individual cells tissues and organs throughout ones body. Systems such as the endocrine system with its hormones, the nervous system with its central and peripheral components, the lymphatic system with its immune regulation and waste removal, the blood and the immune system, as examples.

Why it is important is perhaps easier to relay by way of analogy first to get a feel for it followed by specifics to anchor it practically.

So as an analogy, we have all likely heard the expression, in some form or another, that a group is as weak as its weakest link. However, the flip side of the coin also is true, just as a group is a weak as its weakest link, so too is it as strong  as its strongest link. To add just a but more to this analogy- it also means that

both sides image energy, communication, resource utilization and direction are omni-directional within the group, not solely regulated from the “top down”.

Well, the body is indeed a group, a group of 50 trillion or so individual cells all working together (amazingly!), so that we, the owners and stewards of this group, this body, may live and learn and love and laugh and cry here on this planet called Earth.

When it comes to treating the body we must address both the individual as well as the group. It makes no sense, in a group setting, to ignore one in favour of the other. Provided one is seeking health and wellbeing and not just symptom relief.

Firstly, the individual who is struggling, the weakest link, needs support, but then the group who is in support, the strongest link, will become even stronger when supported. Meaning even more support for the individual who is struggling. Hence we recommend treating the individual(s), meaning local treatment, and treating the group, meaning systemic treatment.

In the next article that will follow on from this we will explore a little of the related science to further ground what we have only just begun to explore here.

Stay tuned :-)
