The Human Body maintains life and health in an amazing way. Each individual cell performs an activity that contributes to the body’s ability to maintain a balanced internal environment called homeostasis.
Every day, life situations threaten to disrupt that balance. Physical traumas, strains and even emotional stress undermine homeostasis. This imbalance leads to aches and pains that when left untreated, result in physiological dysfunction. There are ways to get at the roots of these imbalances and alleviate much of the pain and dysfunction. Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) can help individuals who are experiencing structural distortion, biomechanical dysfunction and the accompanying pain that is often a symptom of the underlying problem. It is a whole-body approach to treatment; so most people find that when they are treated for their back pain, other problems they thought couldn’t be helped are also addressed.
A Neuromuscular Therapist’s first goal in relieving pain is to achieve structural balance in the body. They do this by looking at the body as a four-dimensional object and using specific techniques to correct distortions in the horizontal, coronal and/or mid-sagital planes of the body. Their second goal is to develop a precise treatment protocol for rehabilitating the affected soft tissues.
This three-day introduction class will introduce you to the concepts of NMT, how to assess the human body's structural and kinetic patterns, how to locate and treat trigger points, how to differentiate between types of dysfunctional soft tissue and how to effectively release fascia. Preliminary treatment methods including MET's(Muscle Energy Technique/Proprioceptive Stretching) and many specific NMT treatment protocols for major muscles and other soft tissue structures will be presented. Also discussed are the initial client consultation, how to construct an effective care plan and how to apply the techniques learned. Day three of this introduction class will facilitate a great advancement in your application and care-planning skills.
