Muscle Activation Technique identifies muscles that have "shut down" and then re-engages them.
During your session, a trained physical therapist will press on a series of anatomically significant points on the body to reset the neurological connection between the brain and the dysfunctional muscle. The muscle will show significant increase in activity and strength immediately after.
Conventional PT methods of strength and stabilization are great for muscles that are active and firing. But often times, injuries, chronic pain, and trauma (including surgery) can cause muscles to shut down. Getting your muscles back online will make a significant difference in your rehab and your ability to strengthen and stabilize the body.
The Muscle Activation Technique is rooted in both Eastern medicine practices (acupressure) as well as Western medicine and is a great adjunct to traditional PT methods. Schedule today to experience the difference Muscle Activation can make for you.
