About Total Body Modification (TBM)
What Is Total Body Modification (TBM)?
Restoring the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself
Total Body Modification (TBM) is a comprehensive healing system rooted in the original philosophy of chiropractic care. It serves as an adjunct to all existing (and even forgotten) chiropractic methods, and supports the restoration and maintenance of optimal health across the body’s systems.
The Origins of TBM
The principal founder of Total Body Modification was Dr. Victor L. Frank, D.C., N.M.D., who developed and began teaching this technique in 1978. Originally designed for chiropractors, TBM has since spread across the globe, expanding into other fields of integrative medicine.
When chiropractic was first developed, its foundation rested on the principle of energy regulation through the spine and nervous system. The early chiropractic masters discovered that restoring proper function- not suppressing symptoms -led to powerful healing. Their mantra:
“The power that created the body can heal the body.”
Building on this core belief, TBM goes even further in exploring the body's self-regenerative capabilities.
How TBM Works
Total Body Modification is a member of the healing families that include:
- Applied Kinesiology (AK)
- Acupuncture
- Naturopathy
- Chiropractic
In the early 1970s, Dr. Frank and Dr. Harold Havlic began combining AK methods with classical chiropractic techniques and new energetic approaches. What emerged was TBM, a highly integrative system that:
- Understands the body as a biological “computer”
- Uses muscle testing and test points to identify dysfunction
- Applies gentle energetic or structural corrections to restore balance and function
Dr. Frank discovered that seemingly unrelated body functions are deeply interconnected. Systems once thought to operate independently- such as blood sugar regulation, emotional responses, or detoxification- were actually communicating along complex, intelligent networks.
TBM practitioners learned how to identify and reset “glitches” in these networks.
When the right thing is done to the right body at the right time, in the right way, miracles can happen.
What TBM Can Address
TBM uses simple muscle testing and precise touch points to evaluate organ and system functionality. Once imbalances are found, they can be corrected in real-time. TBM’s applications include:
- ✅ Supporting function and healing of nearly every organ and system
- ✅ Balancing metabolism, including blood sugar regulation
- ✅ Releasing emotional blocks that affect physical health
- ✅ Managing or eliminating neurological and systemic conditions
- ✅ Resolving issues related to hydration and fluid handling
- ✅ Facilitating detoxification without supplements, including heavy metals
- ✅ Balances the reaction to allergens and sensitivities
- ✅ And much more…
TBM taps into the body’s inherent intelligence. It helps restore communication across systems that have gone offline or fallen out of sync, often without requiring medication, invasive procedures, or external substances.
A Practitioner’s Perspective
I approach every healing modality with skepticism until I see it consistently deliver results. I will not include anything in my practice- or my personal life -unless I know it works.
I have received TBM treatments since 2006, and I continue to receive them regularly. It is one of the most quietly powerful and effective techniques I’ve encountered.
