Integrated Neuromuscular Re-Education by Theresa Schmidt PROGRAM DETAILS
Most people suffer from some type of pain on a regular basis. Even sitting at a
desk and repeating the same movements day after day can start to cause problems
with muscles. Back and neck pain, bad posture, TMJ, muscle cramps, stiffness and
chronic pain are just a few examples of the common complaints heard all the
time. Some pain can be caused by an injury, and unless treated with a long-term
solution, that pain will return. Over time, there is a loss of motion and
strength deficits which compromise the quality of life. Integrated Neuromuscular
Re-Education is a synthesis of active and passive interventions to restore
mobility and improve strength and function. INMR is an introductory hands-on
approach to correction of somatic dysfunction, using muscle energy and
counterstrain/positional release. The goals of INMR are to restore normal soft
tissue tone and elasticity, relieve pain, improve strength and optimize
performance. Identification and treatment of abnormal neuromuscular tension,
muscular restriction and painful tender points is the focus of this course. INMR
promotes positive changes in the structure and function of the myofascial and
neuromuscular systems within minutes. These evidence-based interventions may be
immediately applied in a variety of clinical situations. A must-take course for
manual therapists!
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Discuss the theoretical basis for positional release/counterstrain and
muscle energy therapy
- Assess the musculoskeletal system using palpation scanning to identify
indicator tender or trigger points
- Identify positions and postures that reduce the sensitivity of indicator
trigger points to allow spontaneous release of abnormal neuromuscular tone
about a joint
- Apply positional release techniques/counterstrain to position a client to
relieve pain in trigger points
- Discuss the theoretical basis for positional release/counterstrain (PR)
and muscle energy therapy (MET)
- Describe basic neuromuscular reflexes, the function of the muscle spindle
and Golgi tendon organs and their effect on muscle tone and function
- Assess the musculoskeletal system using palpation scanning to identify
indicator tender or trigger points (TPs)
- Identify positions and postures that relieve the pain of indicator TPs and
allow spontaneous release of abnormal neuromuscular tension about a joint
- Apply principles of MET to position a joint to effectively stretch a
muscular restriction
- Utilize proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation/MET techniques to
increase range of motion and strength in a restricted joint
- Include positional release and muscle energy therapy as part of a plan of
care to improve flexibility and strength, and to reduce spasm and pain for a
variety of clinical conditions
What You Should Bring: Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a
portable massage table if they have one, or a mat to lay upon for comfort and
safety. Please wear loose comfortable clothing such as t-shirts and loose gym
shorts or sweats, to have access to the muscles; absolutely no jeans!
