After a thorough history intake, movement assessments and gentle muscle tests will be used to locate inhibition within the nervous system. Once dysfunctions have been located, specific neurological stimuli will be put into the body's proprioceptors and a reflex will be elicited to calm the nervous system, restoring function and eliminating pain. Corrective exercises and myofascial release techniques may be used to further reduce tension and pain. This treatment mainly utilizes the modality of Proprioceptive-Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR), but can also include the modalities of NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS).
