What is neuromuscular reeducation?

Neuromuscular reeducation at Total Acupuncture and Physical Therapy uses physical therapy techniques to restore fluid body movements. Because nerves and muscles work together to produce movements, an imbalance in these systems can throw off neuromuscular function, diminish coordination and balance, cause weakness, and reduce your quality of life.

The advantages of choosing neuromuscular reeducation at Total Acupuncture and Physical Therapy include:

• Increased strength 
• Better flexibility
• Improved balance
• Less pain
• Better coordination
• More fluid body movements
• Faster healing

The treatment uses a series of strength, balance, and flexibility training without invasive procedures or downtime.

Is neuromuscular reeducation right for me?
