PROTOCOL
I restore neurological and muscular balance to the body in such a way as to give your body the optimum chance it has of healing. I employ a variety of techniques to enable Neuro-Muscular Activation. My techniques are gentle but the results are remarkable.
YOUR INCREASE IN STRENGTH IS INSTANT!!
Neuro-Muscular Activation involves the activation of both your brain and your muscles. This returns your weak muscles to a stronger state which allows your body to a return to a ‘normal for you’ posture.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
When you are weak you can’t heal properly and your body develops compensation patterns. This places you at risk for more severe injuries like ligament tears.
I do not heal you; I restore balance which allows your body to heal itself.
After a treatment your return to strength will last as long as it takes for the next compensation pattern to surface. When the next pattern becomes evident you then need to come back for a treatment.
A pattern is the way your brain puts the body in order to try and correct function. It is a glitch in the system that needs to be corrected.
The body will either do this by:
- Taking the pattern away or
- Placing another pattern (or layer) on top of the previous one.
The first is good and the second is bad.
You do not need to be in pain in order to have a pattern of weakness. Pain is only your body’s way of recognizing something is wrong and warning you.
Many athletes now recognize that my treatment is AWESOME in optimizing strength on the sports field and in sporting events. Competing with reduced strength is really hard. Neuro-Muscular Activation can increase strength by as much as 50% by returning you to normal functionality.
But you don’t have to be an athlete to optimize your health. This is for everybody.
While NSAIDS will help to decrease inflammation but they are to be taken wisely as they will only treat the symptoms and not the cause of your pain. My treatment gets to the source of your weakness.
The Neuro-Muscular Activation treatment process may take anything from 4-10 treatments.
Your body and your actions determine the length of time the treatment process takes.
Should you have a re-injury a short while after having been treated the chances are I wouldn’t have to start at the beginning again. But, if you leave you injury for long enough you will set down new compensation patterns. The sooner you come in after an injury the easier it is to help you.
My policy at Cape Chiro Clinic is: If there is NO START towards the restoration of balance after 3-6 treatments, I will refer you out to an appropriate health care professional. Your health is my priority and should you display signs of a trapped nerve or other severe pathologies, X-rays or scans may be advised depending on the suspected condition.
Your health is in YOUR hands. Maintenance treatment is proven to be extremely valuable in maintaining strength and neurological function. Maintenance prevents the reoccurrence of injury. Additionally, correct exercise and a decrease of the body’s stressors are required to optimize your health. I look forward to discussing all these opportunities for your improved wellbeing with you.
