๐ปHello, friends. I thought I would take some time to describe how my neuromuscular program will work. The process for these appointments differs from your average relaxation massage as this kind of therapy relies on assessment.
So what is an assessment? It is an evaluation of what your body can or cannot do using things like active range of motion, passive range of motion, manual resistive testing, and special tests. These things help me eliminate what issues may or may not be in the area of discomfort and decide which muscles need some attention.
An assessment will also include going over some injury history. I will ask questions like "how long ago did it happen", "how did it happen", "what did the pain feel like", and so on. These questions help me create a basic understanding of what tissues might need to be assessed in movement. My questions will be guided by the answers you give me so its helpful to start thinking details like this before our first appointment.
Since all this is done in the first appointment it is usually the longest in the program. It can take between an hour and a half to two hours for the assessment and first bodywork session to be completed. This is the longest session because I will develop a plan based on what I find in both assessment and bodywork. After that each appointment will be an hour and primarily focused on muscles and tissues specific to your situation.
Because this program is so detail oriented it is usually done over the span of 4-6 appointments. This helps us have enough time to gently release and re-educate the body in proper movement. As with all good things, it takes time. Rest assured, I will never add more than whats needed. My focus is helping you feel better in the most effective amount of time.
I hope this post helped to bring some insight and answer some questions you may have. If not feel free to message me and ask away! My practice is about being open and helpful to all my clients. This work is about what YOU need to feel ready for a change. Thank you for visiting my page and have an awesome day๐ป
