The MyoKinesthetic System is a method to quickly and easily reset the body to…

* Alleviate (and eliminate) pain
* Restore range of motion
* Improve posture

The Myokinesthetic System is a unique & revolutionary technique that offers real relief for every client. Unlike other systems, it doesn’t treat an area. Instead, it works with the soft-tissue muscular system to change the nervous system to treat the cause of the problem.

The protocol is 3 half-hour appointments during 7-10 days.  Residual issues, if any, would then be addressed with other modalities determined by kinesiology testing.
