The easiest way to explain CNF to the typical patient is to say it is the opposite of conventional physical therapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy. It is a scientific evaluation and treatment strategy that is effective with patients of all ages and activity levels because it is based on human biomechanics and physiology. This means you get better faster and stay better longer. Developed by Dr. Rhett Polka after years of education, clinical experience, reviewing hundreds of research studies and textbooks, and being inspired by innovative minds such as Gary Grey, PT, Vladimir Janda, MD, and Alan Beardall, DC, CNF will soon be the industry leader in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Rather than treating symptoms such as pain, swelling, and weakness, CNF identifies what initiates these symptoms, neuromuscular inhibition. If we break every injury down to its smallest element, we find it begins as the lack of communication between nerve and muscle, or inhibition. When muscle becomes
