ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock Release Specialist
The effective solution to physical pain and trauma
What is ConTact C.A.R.E?
ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock Release® is a gentle, natural bodywork method. Without manipulation or force, this approach identifies and releases hidden patterns of trapped pressure within the living skeleton, helping people rediscover freedom of movement and relief from pain.
Founded in New Zealand by Dale Speedy and Kym Summers, ConTact C.A.R.E is a unique blend of practical martial arts principles and observation of the natural, instinctive ways horses care for themselves. Though gentle, this work often initiates immediate and ongoing releases of tension and trauma, creating space for the body to reset, rebalance, and heal itself.​
What to expect during treatment
A typical ConTact C.A.R.E treatment takes up to an hour and a half. Treatments are non-intrusive and you are fully clothed. Please wear loose clothing for comfort.
When you arrive, you’ll be asked to fill in a brief form and settle into a position that feels most comfortable for you — whether that’s standing, sitting, or lying down. The priority is always your comfort, and we’ll work in the position that best helps ease your symptoms.
During the session, Sue will gently locate and release Flinchlocked bones — areas of trapped pressure within the skeleton. This is done by balancing the pressure in the bone and applying a specific formula. There’s no force or manipulation involved, and you remain comfortably within your own range of movement throughout.​
What to expect after treatment
After a treatment, it’s common to feel lighter, and you may notice sensations like tingling or gentle stretching in different parts of your body over the following days. Occasionally, there might be a temporary increase in discomfort as your body adjusts — this is a natural part of the process and usually passes quickly.
Responses vary from person to person. Some people experience immediate relief and need only one session, while others may benefit from 2 to 5 treatments, spaced over a few weeks or months, depending on the issue being addressed.
​
​One of the wonderful things about ConTact C.A.R.E is its lasting effect — if you’re unable to return right away, your body won’t regress, and treatments can be safely spaced out to suit your lifestyle and needs.​
What my clients say
I have suffered back pain from a serious trucking accident 50 years ago. Have tried many different treatments and not much success. After one treatment with Sue I am free of back pain and am able to walk much better and not stoop.
Henry Dalley
Sue is an exceptionally skilled, intuitive and perceptive Contact Care healer. She not only addressed my immediate pain related issues stopping them in their tracks - but more importantly, she carefully unwound my unique story back through layers of time, to help me reveal the origin of my injuries, and together we discovered root causes in order to prevent the pain returning. This is a rare skill Sue offers her clients. She generously shares healing light for anyone who has endured the exhausting experience of the darkness of pain. I’ll be forever grateful.
Cilla Sturt
I am amazed at the success Sue has had with reducing constant pain from old injuries. I have had constant back pain from a car crash 32 years ago. Physio, osteopathy and chiro weren't able to help. After my first visit to Sue there hasn't been any pain in that area. She has helped with other old injuries and trauma, reducing my chronic pain significantly. Sue is incredible, she is careful, gentle and has helped me in so many ways.

Accept what is...
now feel the good.
"Acceptance of what 'is' creates the foundation of change. ConTact C.A.R.E. does this by supporting the injury exactly the way the client is managing it themselves."
