In simple terms: pain is a protective output from the brain when it believes an area needs guarding. That protection shows up as muscle tightness, restricted range, and avoidance of certain movements. Using P‑DTR (a Functional Neurology method), we test the receptors that inform the brain, muscle, tendon, ligament, skin, as well as visual/vestibular systems, and correct the faulty information. When the inputs are right, protection eases and pain reduces.
You are taken through muscle tests to understand how your body is functioning, what is causing your pain, restriction or muscle tightness. The cause is identified, then we reset the fault in the nervous system using receptors that respond to stretch, pressure, vibration and similar stimuluses' that allow your body to feel safe. Once these are corrected, you function and feel better. We re-test the movement, and 99% of the time, it feels better, if not we go again until there is no dysfunction left.
Because the brain can stay in “protect” mode when key receptors are still sending faulty signals. If you’ve had pain for 12+ weeks, tissue healing has usually occurred; what remains is often a problem with the information the brain is using. We find the cause of that high- alert state and normalise them so your body feels safe again.
You’ll feel the difference in session. We start with targeted neuro-muscular testing to see which muscles can switch on, which can relax, and which are stuck in a protective pattern. We then challenge vision, balance and position to expose hidden drivers. When we correct the right input, your strength and range change immediately, and we re‑test to prove it. Most clients notice clear change in 1-3 sessions, with complex cases taking longer.
