Neuromuscular Reeducation is a method of training your body to “remember” proper alignment and movement.
The human body has to perform an amazing number of movements every day. If your brain had to consciously think about each of these movements every time you made them, there would be little time to remember other tasks, like making a chiropractic appointment.
The body has a system called, “proprioception,” that makes common movements automatic. For example, this system makes it possible for you to walk up different stair heights without thinking about exactly how far you must lift your knee to reach the next step. This system also makes it possible to move your water glass exactly to the coaster on the coffee table or to properly lower yourself into your favorite chair.
When a muscle or joint sustains an injury or otherwise becomes misaligned, these automatic movements become painful so the body “relearns” the motions. Over time, the modified movements become the new normal, even after the injury has healed. This can keep a joint misaligned and re-injure the muscles causing a never-ending cycle of healing and injury.
