Myokinesthetic System

The Myokinesthetic System is a relatively new soft tissue treatment developed by Michael Uriarte D.C. that specifically treats the nervous system. It is geared to impact the nervous system in a specific way. You don’t have to get undressed and there are NO oils or creams, it only takes about 20-25 minutes and is customized to your specific complaint.

With the MyoKinesthetic System, we are trying to find the cause and clear it so all the compensations will clear away, too.

What is compensation?
The brain works from negative feedback. Each time we stand up to gravity the brain receives information from the rest of the body parts. If we have just fallen down or lifted something incorrectly, and a muscle on the left contracts while a muscle on the right relaxes, these two muscles tell the brain where they are relative to gravity. The brain must then tell other muscles to either contract or relax above and below this area so that a person stands as straight as possible with the greatest range of motion in each joint and the least amount of pain. This is called cause and compensation. With the MyoKinesthetic System, we are trying to find the cause and clear it so all the compensations will clear away, too.

How does MyoKinesthetic work?
The MyoKinesthetic System finds the cause and clears it away so all the compensations the body is making are cleared. We stimulate each muscle along one nerve pathway looking for the nerve endings within each of these muscles  to fire and send a signal to the brain that  says "there is a change happening here". The brain receives this information and makes changes to it, allowing you to stand up more balanced, with greater range of motion and a decrease in pain that lasts. Treatment makes place in comfortable clothing either seated in a chair or lying on a massage table, depending on which spinal nerve we are affecting.

This system is not Chiropractic. At no time do we manipulate or “pop” bones.

The MyoKinesthetic System is completely unique. It is unlike anything on the market. It is not a repackaged technique. It is unique and revolutionary.

Quite simply, it is the power to heal people at the root of the problem. With the MyoKinesthetic System, you won’t treat an area. You’ll change the nervous system using Dr. Uriarte’s M.P.U.L.S.E system of soft-tissue work:

• MyoKinesthetic System – group muscles by nerve innervation
• Pain nerve and muscular – nerve and muscular pain disappears when patient stands
• Unbalanced posture – now balanced after treatment
• Limited range of motion – motion and function back to normal
• Strengthen weak muscles – specific home exercises to nerve and posture problems
• Evaluation and assessment – step-by-step process to ensure correct treatment

The myokinesthetic treatment may be scheduled alone or as part of your regular massage /physiotherapy session. Initially, it is recommended that you receive frequent treatments, possibly as often as three times a week, as your structural system is re-educated.  

Headaches, plantar fascitis, tennis or golf elbow, shoulder problems, piriformis and sciatic pain and other nerve pain/dysfunction problems respond well to the myokinesthetic system.
