Neuromuscular Reprogramming (NMR) is an efficient bodywork protocol that identifies and corrects coordination dysfunctions resulting from injury and trauma. We find that the body corrects in a way that works in the short term, but these inefficient movement patterns which result in chronic pain long term. Typically, the more time that has passed since the time of the original incident, the more impact a small and ‘healed’ injury can have.
Substantial injuries have a clear impact on the body but the smaller ones especially from childhood often go overlooked. For example..that broken ankle from high school? The broken ankle could create a compensation in the hip, which then impacts the opposite shoulder, and travels all the way to neck, the area of pain today. It’s all relevant.
Not only does NMR assist with chronic pain, but it helps maximize output for high-output athletes who are looking for a competitive edge. It allows for an increase in utilization in not only the number of muscles, but also the larger muscles meaning increased output. This equates to tangible differences such as increase in distance gains in golf and new PR records in cycling.
With NMR, muscle testing will be utilized to identify what the body’s compensation patterns are to create an accurate road map for more effective. hands-on bodywork. The muscle testing allows the therapist to see inhibiting relationships between different muscle groups and identifies the compensation patterns with surprising accuracy. After diagnosing the pattern clients can expect significant long-term relief from chronic pain with more freedom and a sense of lightness in their bodies.
