Great info about DEVELOPMENT from Dr. Rosen
"By age 6–7, approximately 90% of the sensory and motor nervous system has already developed. In the absence of significant trauma or neurological insult, these early motor and sensory patterns often become the blueprint for how the body moves, adapts to gravity, and responds to stress throughout life.
Motor and sensory development directly influence gait, posture, and spinal biomechanics. Bone remodeling follows the body’s relationship to gravity, alter that relationship, and you alter how the spine and skeletal system adapt over time.
Beneath the bony framework lies the dural meningeal system and the nervous system. Proper tension within this system is essential for balanced neurological and musculoskeletal function. When dural tension is excessive or insufficient, it can affect both nervous system performance and structural integrity.
For example, a loss or reversal of the normal cervical curve may place the dural meningeal system under significant tension, often several centimeters, contributing to compensatory changes in the neck, shoulders, and overall spinal mechanics.
Understanding these relationships is critical when evaluating adult spinal patterns and developing precise, neurologically informed chiropractic care."
