INJURY REHABILITATION

WHAT IS
NEURO-MUSCULAR THERAPY

A hyper tonic muscle is one that has become compromised due to lactic acid buildup, accumulating either in the core of a round muscle or where a flat muscle attaches to the bone. This condition is a leading cause of joint pain and inflammation. If left untreated, the pain can worsen and be mistaken for more serious conditions, often leading to extreme recommendations such as surgery, prolonged medication use, or endorphin-based treatments.

However, targeted neuromuscular therapy can effectively relieve this condition by sending powerful signals from the muscle to the brain. Hypertonicity can result from injury, repetitive movements, or functional imbalances that contribute to chronic pain. Neuromuscular therapy delivers fast results, enhancing muscle function, alleviating pain, and improving overall performance.

Before considering any major surgery or invasive treatment, we recommend consulting with Neuromuscular Therapist Gerald Teague. He can help assess whether your pain is caused by a hypertonic muscle spasm.

Don't settle for the aches and pains of everyday life!

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT

The treatment lasts up to 20 or 40 minutes and is performed fully clothed on a massage table or in a seated position. Utilizing the Signature Bio Pulser and a specialized hand technique developed by Dr. Thomas Griner, the therapy traces specific muscle spasm patterns. This method stimulates the muscle spindles and restores proper function to the feedback loop between the muscles and the cerebellum. While pain may feel localized, muscle spasms often follow distinct pathways throughout the body, requiring precise tracing and release for effective relief.

David S. Van Nuys, CA

In 2004, I was in bed for 3 months with a back condition so bad that I had to crawl to the bathroom, and the only solution that the doctors had was medication and surgery, and no guarantee. I said to my wife I’m not going that direction, no back surgery for me. I was referred to see Gerald Teague. Gerald had me pain free in just a few treatments. Fourteen years later I am still pain free. Definitely God sent.

I was surprised by the immediate relief and difference that I felt in just one twenty minute session with Gerald Teague He worked on my hip flexors, which were so tight they were pulling my posture forward. I couldn't believe how straight I stood up after only 20 minutes. I was not even aware of my poor posture before that. Through Pilates, I've been able to keep my hip flexors from flaring up and keep my muscles balanced. I've never felt better.

Mike S. Oak Park, CA

I’ve had a history of back problems. I tried acupuncture, cupping/scraping, chiropractics, massage, epidural shots, ice/heat, spa, etc. Some of these things masked the pain temporarily and did help, but a week later, pain again. I felt like 34 going on 54 and even contemplated surgery (the last resort). I had an MRI which revealed severely herniated discs in more than one place in my back.

I talked extensively with Gerald Teague, Neuromuscular Therapist, who was very knowledgeable about the physiology of the back, nerves and muscles. He explained how muscle imbalances were the primary cause of muscular and joint pain and that Pilates would help align my muscular skeletal structure and help alleviate pain.

In addition, Teague Certified Instructors worked closely with me to find balance in my body and move with ease and efficiency. Interestingly enough, the amazement associated with my back pain going away has been completely overshadowed by how it has affected the way I sleep, work, walk, get into my car, play sports and everything else that involves movement.
