Neuromuscular Re-education

What Is Neuromuscular Re-education?

Neuromuscular re-education therapy helps restore and automate normal muscle movement lost because of nerve or muscle damage or injury. The non-invasive rehabilitation technique uses repetitive actions, stimulation and more to retrain nerve signals.

At OrthoBethesda Physical Therapy, our therapists use their training and expertise in neuromuscular re-education to help reinstate nerve and muscle movements in patients.

How Does Neuromuscular Re-education Work?

Neuromuscular re-education therapy aims to retrain your nerve signals and muscle movements to help them become automatic again. Your neuromuscular re-education therapist will craft a personalized treatment plan based on your current abilities, concerns and goals. Treatment can consist of repetitive posturing, movements and stimulation to help reinforce your nerve signals for movement.

Who Can Neuromuscular Re-education Help?

Anyone suffering from muscle dysfunction or chronic pain from an injury can benefit from neuromuscular re-education. They can relearn how to move their muscles until the patterns become automatic and natural. Individuals with improper movement patterns can also take advantage of neuromuscular re-education therapy.
