Advanced Massage Therapy Training For Complex Pain Syndromes: Precision Neuromuscular Therapy (PNMT) Comes to HAC

A Response To The American Back Pain Epidemic.  It may come as no surprise that many people develop back pain at some point in their life.  In fact, studies indicate that around 80% of all Americans will experience back pain, and the total cost related to back pain nationwide estimated to be 100 billion dollars annually.  Other research has shown that 80% to 90% of people who suffer from back pain never find the primary cause.  Precision Neuromuscular Therapy (PNMT) provides powerful clinical reasoning to find the cause of pain and provide the necessary treatment .

PNMT is more than a technique or a modality, it is a way of thinking and applying clinical reasoning to soft-tissue therapy so that massage therapists can make efficient and effective decisions  throughout treatment. To the outside observer, massage therapy may seem somewhat simple, but in application only advanced practitioners create truly predicable results on a consistent basis.  With PNMT, consistent predictable results are achieved by treating the right muscle, for the right reason, at the right time, and in the right frequency. Therapists are taught both the how's and why's of this treatment process that is actually very fluid and flexible.

Clients don't come with these.

People automatically unconsciously compensate for areas of the body that lack mobility or strength.  This creates strain on non-injured tissues from overuse.  Without an understanding of the domino effect of compensation damage, a massage therapist may never actually find the true cause of the pain syndrome.  PNMT solves the puzzle with thorough anatomical knowledge and specific information related to the client gathered by both assessments and an in-depth client history. This information allows therapists to have a high level of awareness of each client, that reveals the real interrelationships that are creating symptoms.  Imagine looking to purchase a house and making your decision by peeking in a single window.  This would not provide an accurate understanding of the condition of the house.  PNMT teaches therapists to look from multiple views, to determine which assessments to use and how to apply those assessments in proper order to create a treasure map that guides them to the true cause of the symptoms.

Massage therapy as a treatment modality is maturing and evolving constantly.  As modern medicine embraces massage more and more, it is important for those massage therapists interested in being on the cutting edge to evolve their skills to keep pace.   Treating complex pain syndromes is not for the casual massage therapist.  It is a hard-core, top-shelf professional skill set.  HAC is committed to taking elevating the massage therapy profession to its rightful place in the medical world and evolving massage therapists by pushing their skill sets ever upward.   PNMT is a must-have modality for those massage therapists who want to take on the most challenging pain syndromes.
