Myokinesthetics: A Treatment Technique Unlike Any Other?
Invented in 1994, Myokinesthetics is a relatively new treatment, and though the name may be long and it may seem complicated, it’s much simpler than one might think. This soft tissue treatment begins with the physical therapist determining which nerve root level is affected and contributing to the patient’s pain. Then we stimulate the specific muscles that belong to the nerve root with pressure or touch, as well as providing movement or muscle contraction, easing tension and providing relief for both sides of the body.
Myokinesthetics have an immediate effect on tissues resulting in decreased or eliminated pain, improved posture, body alignment and function. There are no oils, creams, or lotions. The treatment is fast and designed to find the cause of the pain as quickly as possible, and then correct muscle imbalances and postural abnormalities to get people feeling better right away.
