Welcome. Here I will talk about my own personal experiences and try to help others. I will also be talking about new techniques I may learn and treatments to help at home and in life.
Thank you for reading and comments are always appriciated.
Today we worked on some Neuromuscular Techniques. We got on the tables and practiced the different techniques. The one that really got me was the Un-Coiling. This is where, only on coiled muscles, you grasp the muscle and work it out like you would a rolled up piece of paper.
We worked this technique on the Trapizius muscle. If you are tender there it can really smart in the beginning, but afterward I felt totally loose.
The other techniques that we practices were Torcing, Chucking, Fascia stripping, and Fascia stretching.
These are much different from the other techniques that I typically employ. I prefer the soft approach, but for people who have a lot of tension these release beautifully.
I also practiced with the different tools used in NMT. The t-bar is the one that I used tonight. This is a nice substitute to using the thumb.
These techniques will be extremely useful for those clients that have a lot of tension from injury and severe athletics.
I look forward to using them.
