[Download Now] Integrated Neuromuscular Re-Education: Muscle Energy Therapy and Positional Release – Theresa A. Schmidt

Silence the pain! Mobility and strength can be restored.

An introductory hands-on approach to correction of somatic dysfunction using muscle energy/PNF and counterstrain/positional release is what Integrated Neuroscience Re-Education is about.

The goal of INMR is to restore normal soft tissue tone and elasticity, relieve pain and improve strength. The focus of this recording is the identification and treatment of abnormal neuromuscular tension, painful Trigger points, motion restriction and strength deficit. INMR approach is a synthesis of active and passive approaches to facilitate positive changes in the structure and function of the myofascial and neuromuscular systems.

In a variety of clinical situations, techniques may be applied immediately. The effectiveness of these interventions will be shown in a review of the current evidence-based literature. There is emphasis on hands-on lab practice in this recording. There is a course for manual therapists.

1. Investigate the theoretical basis and evidence-based research for positional release/counterstrain (PRT) and muscle energy therapy (MET/PNF)
2. Evaluate basic neuromuscular reflexes, the function of the muscle spindle, Golgi tendon organs and proprioceptors and their effect on muscle tone and function
3. Assess the musculoskeletal system using palpation to identify indicator trigger points (TPs)
4. Utilize positions that reduce the pain and sensitivity of TPs to allow spontaneous release of abnormal neuromuscular tone
5. Apply principles of MET/PNF to position a joint to effectively stretch a muscular restriction or strengthen an inhibited muscle (to correct a somatic dysfunction)
6. Implement a treatment program using positional release and muscle energy therapy to improve range of motion, flexibility, strength, and to reduce spasm and pain for a variety of clinical conditions
