Neuromuscular Re-education (NMR)

A specialized, movement oriented soft tissue technique, which effectively releases scar tissue, increases range of motion and relieves joint pain. NMR covers the entire musculature surrounding the injury site while the patient is performing specific movements. NMR re-establishes the normal movement patterns and range of motion of the joints and extremities.
