Neural Reset Therapy Returns to HAC with the Upper Body Course

Massage Therapy Hall of Famer Ralph Stephens Returns to HAC with NRT for the Upper Body

We are excited to welcome back massage therapy hall of famer Ralph Stephens with the continuing education course called Neural Reset Therapy (NRT) on May 14 & 15.  His first  NRT Upper Body class in Saint Louis was last fall at the Healing Arts Center, and it was highly acclaimed by the attendees.  HAC had massage therapists traveling from across the United States for the opportunity to experience the NRT training and Ralph's dedication to instruction.  The upcoming class will focus on the upper body which includes Mid & Upper Back, Arms and Shoulders, Neck & TMJ.

NRT involves a unique application of pain-free stimuli which causes a response from the nervous system to a targeted muscle which "resets' or reduces the tonus of that muscle to "normal."  NRT works by briefly stimulating the mechanoreceptors (specialzed nerve bundles) within a particular muscle. This can be done by asking for a specific movement or hold, or the therapist can tap on a muscle in such a way that causes the 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. 
This restores circulation, increases range of motion, releases tension and pain is gone.  All in just an average of 2 - 30 seconds.  NRT can be applied almost any muscle at any time in your session with a client, and is exceptionally powerful when used as a routine.

The techniques are painless for the client.  NRT is also easy on the therapist requiring almost no thumb or finger strain which can help extend the life of a therapeutic career.  NRT is a practical, rapid and reliable way to increase therapeutic results by increasing range of motion and relieving tension and pain.
