The procedure consists of three steps (the 3 Cs):
- Challenge
- Check
- Correct
The first step, “challenge,” involves analyzing you for stresses causing your dis-ease.
The second step, “check,” reveals where an interference or stress is located.
The check is a form of body stress analysis using biofeedback. KST practitioners often used the occipital drop (OD), a neurological biofeedback device or mechanism wherein one side of the back of the skull (the occipital bone) appears to “drop” in relation to the other side.
The OD can tell the practitioner where there is hidden stress interfering with health.
The third strep “correct,” releases the stress.
Using the hands or (more commonly) an instrument that introduces a gentle vibration, the stress can be easily released. Children especially like to be corrected this way – many feel it tickles. Infants often smile during the procedure; they like the soothing vibration.
