Peripheral Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR) This work recognizes that the sensory receptors (touch, pressure, hot, cold, pain, etc.), and the way the body processes the information from these receptors, is paramount in determining neuromuscular responses throughout the entire body. Motor function is not just determined by the motor system, but rather is modified by the inputs of these receptors. Using a comprehensive system of muscle testing and neural challenges, involved receptors can be located and normal function can be quickly restored.
Fascial Taping I have studied and become a certified ROCKDOC, the cutting edge organization for fascial taping.
Custom Casting of Orthotics for feet and lower extremity problems—done the old fashioned way, making specific measurements of all foot ranges of motion and then making plaster casts of the feet in a non weight bearing position (not stepping into a foam box..)! We use the laboratory that previously made orthoses for the LA Lakers.
