Why Would I Need NRT or SFT?
Do you suffer from any type of muscle or joint pain, constant or reoccurring?
Does your pain keep you from getting a full night sleep?
Have you tried other treatment methods like physical therapy, chiropractic, or pain medications with little or no lasting results?
Golfers or Athletes ~ Have you struggled with trying to correct a problem and don’t know why you can’t make the changes necessary?
The answer to all of these issues may be something as simple as muscle imbalance!
As you read the explanation below, keep in mind, the neuromuscular system is the bodies motor system. The brain telling the muscles to contract controls every movement we make. Muscular contraction then produces skeletal movement. The skeletal system is designed to provide structural support and cannot move on its own.
Muscle imbalance happens in all of us, and our need for flexibility is different depending on what we want to do. We create muscle imbalances and decrease flexibility by not using all muscles equally and properly, by over using certain muscles, or by not stretching or using muscles enough. Many people spend their day sitting at the desk or in the car, and then sit during the evening in front of the TV. After sitting for extended periods of time day in and day out, without adequate stretching and movement, we will lose flexibility and create muscle imbalance.
When a muscle is flexed the blood is pumped out of the muscle. If a muscle is held for too long in a flexed position the blood does not return to the muscle and the muscle becomes ischemic (limited blood supply). Picture a muscle like a sponge. If a sponge is dry it is very difficult to use. If you wet a small portion of the sponge, that part becomes usable. When you wet the entire sponge you can use it fully and much more efficiently. If your muscle has a limited blood supply, it is like a sponge with a small wet portion and is not fully usable. So, if a muscle only has 50% of its blood supply, you will only get 50% efficiency and strength from that muscle. If one muscle is not working efficiently then other muscles in the area will help do its job, or we learn to compensate. Now we are using more than one muscle inefficiently and eventually those muscles will become overused and imbalanced creating other problems or pain.
NRT is designed to bring proper blood flow back into ischemic muscles and get them working fully and efficiently, restoring normal muscle function and balance! Restoring proper blood flow to imbalanced muscles should restore proper muscle length, or flexibility, and provide more muscular stability to the affected joints and quickly eliminate years of chronic pain and dysfunction.
One NRT treatment will not fix years of muscular imbalance but you should feel a significant change. The best thing to remember is that If it can be changed for a minute, It can be changed forever.
A commitment is required from every client to break the cycle of muscular imbalance that is causing pain and/or muscle inefficiency. It takes 21 days to create a neuromuscular habit so it will take consistency to break the pattern as well. A standard program will be two sessions a week for the first two or three weeks. After the initial program a further analysis will determine additional treatment sessions. A client is also given recommended stretches or exercises to do at home to speed up and maintain recovery.
