This system follows a nerve root down its pathway to the muscles
that it innervates. Then it groups these muscles according to
their nerve root innervations, covering every nerve root and
peripheral nerve that deals with movement.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I look for repeatable results.
The MyoKinethetics System does just that. This system consistently
rids patients of pain in 30 minutes. The MyoKinethetics System goes
after the cause of pain, which is the nervous system. This
technique is a stand-alone treatment. It is not an adjunct to
other treatments, nor does it need to be mixed with other techniques.

We all know that the nervous system is the prime controller of
homeostasis. Homeostasis enables the body to stay alive in an
ever-changing environment. The nervous system controls your heart
and how it beats, how hard you breathe, when you feel hungry; it
makes you sweat when you feel hot. It controls muscle movement,
contraction, and relaxation; it controls when you feel pain, the
location of pain and the type of pain. Every time you touch
someone, you are stimulating the nervous system. Unfortunately,
many Massage Therapists have not been specifically taught about
the nervous system. The ultimate goal is to get to the cause of
pain, which is the nervous system. Muscles can impinge on nerves,
causing pain. To obtain consistent, repeatable results, you must
be specific. The more specific you are, the more likely you are
to help the patient.

The concept can be thought of like a telephone cable. At the
beginning of a street with 20 houses, it starts off with 20 small
wires within it. As it travels down the road it drops off one
little wire to each house. Think of the peripheral nervous system
(PNS) as being similar, with the nerve root having many little
wires within it, and then traveling down a large peripheral nerve
and dropping off wires at each muscle.

For example, the sixth (6th) cervical vertebrae innervates 41
different muscles in the upper body bilaterally. With the
MyoKinesthetic System, we stimulate the 41 muscles and only those
41 muscles so that ALL of the muscles will relax and stay released
for a longer time frame. If one of those muscles is in a
contracted state and impinging on a nerve, causing numbness in
the hand, we can get rid of this numbness effortlessly and quickly
with lasting results. Helping the patient is the number one goal
of the healthcare professional.
