"I got a massage a month ago, and the pain in my neck went away. I never knew that the pain could ever go away. I've had it as long as I can remember. Can you help?" -Andrea
Despite what you may think...
Pain is NOT normal.
Pain is also directly related to your nervous system. It's the way your nervous system says "hey, something is not right."
I am an MYK specialist and here we get to the root of the problem, in the nerve level, where your pain is starting.
Headaches & Migraines
It is heart breaking to hear about the number of women who suffer from migraines. With migraines being the 3rd most common disease in the world and it is 3 times more common in women than in men.
Not only that, but to hear that children have a 10% chance of developing migraines, and up to a 50% chance if a patient already has them.
I was there. My 3 year old woke up daily, grumpy, saying "my head hurts" for months. After speaking with a pediatrician, he recommended an MRI. But I was not ready for that.
I took a MyoKinesthetic class, and decided to try treatment on him. After the 2nd treatment, he didn't complain of headaches for a week. After being consistent for 2 weeks with 6 treatments, he didn't have one for 6 months! My son is 9 years old now, and we get 1-2 year periods without headaches and needing treatment.
The MyoKinesthetic system is not a preventative treatment. It is a treatment where I get to the root of your problem, work on you at the nerve level. I get rid of your headaches and migraines, so you can have lasting results.
Menstrual Pain
50% of the population is women. 5-10% of these women suffer from debilitating pain. You are not able to go to work, go to school, or even get out of bed.
This type of pain is often genetic. But a MyoKinesthetic treatment can help with the pain. I've treated women and helped:
get rid of cramping pain so they could attend school the first day of their cycle.
get rid of cramping pain so they could attend school the first day of their cycle.
decrease low back pain prior too and during their menstural cycle
regulate menstrual cycles
A MyoKinesthetic treatment gets to the root of your problem, at the nerve level, to help manage your pain and discomfort in your menstrual cycle and have lasting effects.
Chronic Pain & Injuries
Despite what you may think...
Pain is NOT normal.
Pain is also directly related to your nervous system. It's the way your nervous system says "hey, something is not right."
Think about this...
Have you ever gone people-watching and seen how some people walk or stand?
You may have noticed how someone's head is tilted to one side, or their shoulder is up to their ear. Maybe you've seen someone limping, or notice a hump in their back.
This is a posture deficit or imbalanced posture.
Something happened... at some point in time (falling off a bike, accident, birth) to cause your body to compensate for that damage.
When the body compensates, your posture is thrown off... and no matter how much you try to stand up straighter, it won't work.
This is because your body is in some type of holding pattern, holding you there, trying to fix your posture imbalance.
"Posture is the outward expression of the nervous system. By balancing posture, we balance the nervous system. When the nervous system is balanced, the body begins to work the way it's supposed to work with the right range of motion and pain decreasing." -Michael Urartie D.C.
💪 Muscles are holding your posture out of place, causing pain, numbness, and discomfort.
👉 Nerves tell your muscles WHAT to do.
🌟 The goal is to tell the nerves to "chill", so your body can relax, your posture can balance, and ultimately... your pain goes away.
MY GOAL is to help you enjoy life pain-free, in the simplest, more direct way possible... through working on your nerves (but not getting on your nerves). 😉
"My pain dropped in half after the treatment. It was like magic." - LeAnne
