Don't we already do this type of stuff but not necessarily under that name?

Biggins, Sorry, lost the last thread. I appreciate your perspective on the chiro profession. Fortunately, in the US the Chiro profession is steadily changing and is more evidence based than in the past. Also, as opposed to the past, the leading users of chiropractic in the US tend to be the more educated who appear to be armed with more data to make healthy choices outside the predominant allopathic model.
As for the beginnings of SRA...
The concept of deep somatic refered pain sources goes back to the 1930's with Kelligren and the model of deep somatic (spinal structures, the apophyseal joint) activating remote muscle contractures via the capsular ligamnet mechanoreceptors was further expanded upon by Wyke. Sutter coined the term "spondylogenic reflex syndrome' or SRS in the 70s and I began studying the phenomena in 1993 after a few years of watching myofascial trigger point therapy (Trevell and Simmons) end in frequent relapse.
After being introduced to Sutters charts in Dvorak / Dvorak's Manual Medicine text it became apparent that a great deal of trigger point activity in patients occured in the same fibers illustrated in these charts.It was readily apparent that their was a gross lack of effective strategies in the identification and management of this condition at that time. See http://spinalreflexanalysis.com/sra/srainfopdfs.php for mor lnformation.
My contribution is primarily the development of diagnostic and treatment protocols, additional research, field testing in athletics and failed or unresolved NMS cases and educatonal models on the subject.
I began teaching to MTs in 2002 as a means to co-manage the complex muscle contracture patterns associated with an SRS. The scope and implications of the SRS in client / patient presentations continually grows with more understanding, clinical application and research data.
SRA or Spinal Reflex Analysis is the diagnostic, assessment, or evaluation portion with APT or Attachment Point Therapy as the soft tissue management protocol. Spinal manipulation and physical therapy procedures are also included in this system.
Today, I am a certified continuing education provider on SRA for Physical Therapy, Nursing and Athletic Training coaches (BOC-US), Massage (NCBTMB-US, AAMT-AU) and Chiropractic in various states throughout the US.
I am also on my third formal study on SRA APT and athletic performance witth at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado USA with hopes of doing a larger controlled study next year.
SRA is a young protocol with strong roots and plenty of room to grow. Let me know if I can answer additional questions or be of furhter help on te subject.

Finally, someone with some guts to stand and answer some questions. Appreciating your candidness already.
Righto, now to find some holes in your theories,...nah, only joking.
Excuse our skepticism as we are pounded with new techniques that profess to cure all. We become numb to it after years of bombardment. Plus, and dare I say this to yourself (and on a public forum,..) that we, well I, don't have a thorough trust of the Chiropractic fraternity and their mode of promotion. It doesn't have the best of reputations.
But hey, one of my best mates is a Chiro and he tells me constantly to look within my own fraternity before I judge - unfortunately he's right. So lets get to it.
Where did this philosophy start? What is it's roots? How has it been mapped?
We are but a piece of one huge puzzle,....recognise it

I appreciate the interest and the skeptisism on SRA and will try to help relieve speculation about both.
I will post and continue to build an easy access link at www.spinalreflex.com by Feb. 4 with PDFs of original research references to date on the spondylogenic reflex syndromes, translated articles by Sutter, supporting references, a 2004 formal pilot study on athletic performance and a personal CV for those who are curious.
I would also encourage the reading of Manual Medicine Diagnostics by Jiri Dvorak &Vaclav Dvorak with emphasis on SRSs and their relavence to apophyseal capsular ligament nocioceptive and mechanoreceptor thresholds and their effects on peripheral soft tissue contractures. Also reference The Textbook of Medical Physiology by Guyton on muscle "lengthening" and reflex inhabition through GTO/Spindle/Rufinni and nocioceptive stimulation, slow and fast pain pathways and peripheral articles on pain mediation through the para aquaductal grey region of the thalamus.
Dr Brian is accurate in his statements. SRA is an evidence based outcome driven diagnostic and treatment protocol with plenty of science to support its current position and the desperate need for more research... and no it is not a reinvent or distilate of chiropractic, PT or soft tissue therapy, etc. The enthusiasm practitioners experiance from SRA is directly related to its predictable diagnostics and dependable outcomes.
It is weighted on the diagnostic side and is relatively universal on the therapeutic side, i.e. a degree of newly developed lit based treatment procedures and a high degree of accomodation for standardized physical medicine protocols and existing techniques.
It is difinatively a new line of reasoning based on years of European and US research, clinical and field application and sound neurology.
Keep me on my toes and I will keep you informed!

If there is any way for us to get in touch with the STT eMag crew, I am sure the SRA people would love to speak with them. Iknow that Dr. Jarrell will actually be in Australia this Fall 2010. He is speaking to a number of organizations about SRA. If you know enough people that might be interested in his seminars, let me know and I will have him contact the right people. Thanks for the post.

Pitty we live in Australia.
Seems a long long way from our shores.
I'm sure the STT eMag crew would be interested in publishing some information on the technique. Maybe their crew would like to submit something?
People say I'm bias........
