Our first step in establishing the LSP as a valid approach for the mitigation of stress related conditions was to examine how this modality would function as an isolated approach without the typical multi-system differential diagnosis. Since the LSP was designed as a single system manual therapeutic intervention, there were questions about the safety element that had to be evaluated. Our first pilot, called LSP Pilot 0.9 was designed to put a large quantity of clients through the basic protocol to chart their progress, reactions, and overall response to receiving the LSP. 

Our first observation was that the safety of receiving the LSP was not only validated, there were remarkably few instances of symptomatic flare following the LSP. More than 600 individuals participated in this pilot which ran from December of 2023 to December of 2024. The criteria for participation was simple. We required them to have the experience of long standing psychological stress surrounding an event or trauma that had persisted well beyond the acute phase of injury and had become a chronic source of stress or even contributed to elevated, long standing allostatic load.

90% of the participants reported improvements in overall wellbeing and reduced perception of psychological strain and stress. 5% reported temporary increased psychological strain and stress, nightmares and general anxiety that resolved to a lower than baseline level after a period of 3 days. And the remaining 5% reported no change.

End result, the LSP has been validated for safety for a wide variety of conditions involving psychological strain and stress. It can be used in situations where there is a history of concussion, TBIs or even in neuro-degenerative conditions, but these conditions usually will require additional systems of work to be applied to address the multiple layers of dysfunction that often accompany the more physically involved nature of head injuries.
