Bringing these blocks to light releases unnatural inhibitions so the work flows with ease. Know That BodyTalk:Is completely non-invasiveWorks with all other therapiesDoes not diagnosisDoes not prescribeOffers affordable, long-lasting healthcareAustralian Chiropractor and Acupuncturist, Dr. John Veltheim, developed the BodyTalk System in 1995.

Outstanding results occur in almost every sphere of heath care: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.2. It can be used as a stand-alone health care or  be seamlessly integrated into any other health care modality and is complementary to each modality.3. It is totally non-invasive and absolutely safe. There are no contraindications to its use.4. No diagnosis is given, no medications prescribed, and no invasive techniques imposed upon the patient. The BodyTalk System does not conflict with, or legally contravene, any existing health care system or law.5. The basic premises underlying The BodyTalk System constitutes a new paradigm for synchronizing and balancing the body-mind that can be implemented in conjunction with any health care system. The body is a very complex ecosystem involving a delicate balance between physiological biochemical functions, emotional and mental interactions, environmental influences, hereditary and genetic restrictions, and the need to synchronize all these factors into a cohesive whole..
