Welcome

ConTact C.A.R.E is a Martial Arts-based discipline developed in New Zealand by Dale W. Speedy and Kym Summers.

It focuses on the concept of Skeletal Sensory Shock, which involves the body's automatic self-defense response when bones are unexpectedly impacted. This response leads to a shift in balance and the creation of a super sensitive area around the impact site.

ConTact C.A.R.E Practitioners aim to locate and release the hidden causes of discomfort or pain felt by the client. By re-enacting the original pressure and using the Flinchlock® Release Formula, they help the body return to normal function and improve homeostasis.

What our clients say:

  • “Kelly has a rare talent for physical therapy. Over a series of contact CARE sessions, she helped me unwind and release many old injuries, physical and emotional patterns. Each session was unique and I was fascinated to feel the rapid shifts and changes we achieved together. The results from each session were cumulative and permanent. “

    — KT

  • After seeing Nancy I have cancelled my appointment with the specialist surgeon for shoulder pain (no longer in pain) shoulder and back pain all gone. Knee pain has reduced significantly to minor discomfort now and then. I no longer take pain medication or anti-inflammatory drugs and most significantly the brain fog from a traumatic brain injury has changed and it is not as challenging as before, which is an unexpected pleasure. Totally recommend this practice, it is gentle and very effective.

    — AA

  • My session was extraordinary. On a physical and mental level. My hip, foot and a few head knocks have been seen too. My pain has subsided and body is connecting to my head. I will be continuing to see Nancy for other injuries that I have accrued over the years.

    Course manual included as hard copy.

  • ConTact C.A.R.E recognises the skeleton has it's own self-defence system which automatically and independently engages when bone is impacted by surprise.

    When this happens, an individual's balance centre shifts to accommodate the perceived extra weight. It is a SENSORY impression of weight. It is felt, therefore it is acted upon by the entire body mass.

    The bone 'spiral contracts' at the impact site creating a super sensitive over-contractive area around it that feels super strong, the rest of the body must then compensate with a counter- weight to maintain balance, (this is the felt stress). The client is feeling the compensation workload but NOT the cause of it.

    ConTact C.A.R.E Practitioners are trained to locate and release the hidden CAUSES of what is being felt by the client.

    The ConTact C.A.R.E technique/formula releases the spiral contraction so normal function may return.

    Simply put the only question in the ConTact C.A.R.E Practitioner's mind is, "where's the BONE that's causing that."

    We are skilled in seeing what does NOT move in a sea of movement. Extra-ordinary movement is created by extra-ordinary STILLNESS.

    The clinical experience is non-intrusive and gentle, the techniques safe and  effective.

    Consultations are carried out with the client fully clothed.
