The Science of Movement

Check out recent updates to our Motus Therapeutic Methods website including new information on ARP Neuro Therapy. The website provides evidence-informed continuing education in a wholistic approach to myofascial therapy emphasizing the importance a global view in maintaining a healthy musculoskeletal system to foster whole health & wellness.

I have had the recent privilege of investigating and evaluating ARP Neuro Therapy, an innovative approach to treating the myofascial system with a through a dynamic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) protocol. I first became interested in ARP Neuro therapy after observing first-hand the dramatic improvement in patient outcomes in musculoskeletal injuries that are typically difficult to treat and sustain long-term relief. The improved outcomes, increased functional capacity, and long-term relief may stem from the unique ability of ARP Neuro to address the arthrogenic muscle inhibition that commonly occurs from injuries to joints.

Identification of trigger points through palpating alone has been shown to be unreliable with poor inter-rater reliability - use of functional assessments of fascia may prove more reliable.

We will be exploring functional assessment of fascia in our upcoming course on March 11, 2023 in St. Peter’s Missouri.
