What is neural reset therapy (NRT)?

Neural Reset Therapy (NRT) relaxes and resets your muscles allowing your body to naturally realign through gentle movement during stimulation of neural receptors. In your body, there are specialized nerve bundles called mechanoreceptors. The receptors respond to pressure, velocity, vibration, stretch, and other forces. When receptors detect a change, a signal is sent to the spinal cord and then relayed to the brain. With NRT, the therapist briefly stimulates the receptors embedded in the selected muscle by asking for a position to be held or for a movement in a particular direction. Or the therapist taps on a muscle in such a way as to cause receptors to send a special message to the spinal cord. That new message goes through the spinal integrating center which will reset the nervous system so the muscle is optimized neurologically. With the reset, the muscular pain and tightness disappear within seconds.

Are there any limitations with NRT?

NRT resets the muscles to a more optimal state, but there are negative factors under the control of a client's lifestyle choices. Many people who suffer from pain will have a number of these factors. The more they bring to balance or make healthier choices in their lives, the longer before their muscles will need a reset. Some of these factors are: 1. Chronic overuse patterns • exercising until fatigued • repetitive stress • too rapid of increase in exercising 2. Chronic underuse patterns • little to no exercise • extended bed rest after an illness or surgery • sitting for extended periods of time 3. Chronic poor postural habits • forward head position • slouching in chairs or couches • standing on one leg • resting on one arm or elbow 4. Under-hydration and/or low blood sugar • Muscles require water and energy to operate optimally. 5. Lack of quality sleep • decreased production of human growth hormone • inadequate muscle restoration time 6. Nutritional deficiencies • Even the USDA recognizes that only 10% of the American population eats a good diet. There are widespread deficiencies in zinc, iron, B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, vitamins C and E, essential fatty acids, fiber, chromium, and vitamin D. 7. Hormone imbalances and/or deficiencies • hypothyroidism • hyperthyroidism • diabetes • estrogen and testosterone • cortisol 8. Unresolved psychological issues • anxiety • depression • anger 9. Medical conditions • neurological disorders • alcohol and drug addiction • recent infection • allergies • medications • pregnancy • obesity • cancer • arthritis • chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia • radiculopathy 10. Lack of stretching Are we the only animal that does not routinely stretch? 11. Structural imbalances • leg length inequalities • small hemipelvis • long second metatarsal (Morton's foot) • scoliosis • short upper extremities 12. Lax ligaments Even if you have some factors that negatively affect your health, NRT can still improve your quality of life.
