WHY SHOULD I LEARN NEUROMUSCULAR REEDUCATIONSM
Sports Massage Therapists, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Personal Trainers.
I am talking to you specifically! Take a look at the very nature of the people you are treating, how you are treating them, what your practice is like, how many hours you work and what your income is currently. You will know something about yourself, for better or worse. There is no judgment here. All that matters is just RESULTS …and clients know RESULTS. Whatever your answers are, this is how you have created your practice and here is an opportunity to change something about your work skills and increase your forward motion. Here is a chance to have a practice that is more …show more content…
People want and need a massage, and there are many effective styles to choose from, but rarely have I seen a technique that deliberately goes after a soft tissue problem, one particular area, and resolves it quickly. Why would a chiropractor want to teach sports massage therapists and other practitioners? It’s because I believe that with 6+ billion people on the planet there is plenty for all of us…. Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Sports Massage Therapists, Physiotherapists and Athletic Trainers. If you put your hands on someone's body to help relieve a problem you have a legal, moral and ethical obligation to be the best you can be. Aren’t many of you tired of working long hours and, all too frequently, for not so much income?

Start, of course, with naming the three abductors of the arm at the shoulder joint. Supraspinatus handles the 1st 15-20 degrees of abduction then the middle deltoid takes over….but can you name the 3rd abductor? How about the long head of the biceps when the arm is externally rotated? You might have forgotten that one…and it crosses the shoulder joint and inserts on the supraglenoid tubercle. Let’s continue and say that none of those three abductors made an appreciable difference in the missing action. What one muscle would you go to have next a 90%+ chance of success at improving their range of motion? SUBSCAPULARIS! “But that’s an internal rotator” is the common response I hear. Quite true but look at the origin and insertion, look at the mechanical plane of action…and think that if that muscle has adhesions, and it does as a byproduct of posture, work, and trauma, there is restricted motion, and that will limit the amount of possible abduction. You will frequently see a major shift in that limited action when you work on subscapularis and, when you do, you should be saying to yourself…if that internal rotator could limit abduction, could there be other internal rotators that have a limiting effect on that motion? Yes….but can you name
