What happens during a Neuromuscular ReEducation session?
During a Neuromuscular ReEducation session your therapist will not be massaging tissue. Instead, she will utilize gentle traction (stretching or pulling) of the limbs and induce rhythmic rocking motions at various positions on the body. Even though some of the movement used during the session may be quite vigorous, you should still be completely comfortable. The therapist will work more softly and slowly in areas where you have more pain or tension. The movements created at one part of the body, such as a leg, will travel in waves along the spinal column and help to relax others areas indirectly, like the neck. What does Neuromuscular ReEducation feel like? The passive movement that you experience during a Neuromuscular ReEducation session should remind you of being rocked like a baby. Your nervous system will easily let go of tension within the muscles without any effort on your part. Even deeper muscles and ligaments will relax as your joints are mobilized.
