THE TREATMENT METHOD

Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a treatment method aimed at reducing pain and dysfunctions in the neuromuscular system. By the neuromuscular system we mean muscles, tendons, joints, fascia and nerves. Our method is based on knowledge of anatomy, physiology and neurology and uses manual techniques to restore balance and function to the neuromuscular system.

Where is the cause of the complaint?

The examination includes a combination of muscle testing, muscle palpation and testing receptors in connective tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments, attachments, etc) to determine the cause of your complaint. We use muscle testing to determine which muscles are functioning properly and which are not. A non-functioning muscle can not optimally stabilize a weight which can cause long-term complaints. This is almost always the cause of your complaints. If the control around a joint is not good, your nervous system provides a compensation strategy. Often a painful muscle or joint is the result of a compensation strategy that has become exhausted. This is because a compensation strategy is a short-term solution of your nervous system and not suitable for the long term. This is the reason that symptoms can develop slowly.

Testing receptors in connective tissue is important because it is through these receptors that the nervous system receives information such as the position of a weight and the tension in a muscle. By impact on the connective tissue (previous injuries, a fall, an accident, an operation, a scar, etc) this information to the nervous system can become disturbed with the result that a muscle or joint cannot be adequately controlled during movement.

During the first session you will already gain insight into the cause of your symptoms. Often the spot where the pain is located is not the cause of the pain. By working on the cause of the complaints, no time is wasted on symptom relief, as often happens with other methods. During the comprehensive examination, all structures involved in your symptoms are mapped out. Especially if the symptoms have been present for some time, there may be multiple structures involved that need to be treated.

Treatment

The treatment focuses primarily on restoring the normal function of the neuromuscular system. This means that the control of all muscles and joints is improved and you notice this already during the first treatment. Correcting the neuromuscular system is done through manual techniques on muscle, tendon, ligaments and stimulation of receptors in the connective tissue. Using these new and highly effective techniques, the control of muscles and joints improves immediately.

Follow-up treatment focuses on loosening adhesions or hardening in the muscles (and fascia), improving blood flow and range of motion in the affected tissues. These techniques are ideal for eliminating residual symptoms.

What does our treatment method help with?

Neuromuscular Therapy is successfully used for back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip and pelvic pain and knee pain. Our method is a combination of NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT), Mylogenics (Advanced), fascial techniques, Advanced Movement Neurology (AMN), functional neurology and more.

Reimbursement

If you have supplementary insurance for physical therapy, you can get part of the treatment reimbursed. A treatment takes about 50 minutes and is 90,-. Our average treatment number is between 5 and 7 treatments and that is regardless of how long your complaints have existed.

I had a shoulder injury, which still bothered me after almost a year. After treatment by Energenic, the injury disappeared completely within a few weeks.

'Michiel was very good at helping me optimize my load capacity during my preparation for a marathon. Partly because of this it became a success. Michiel's approach is clear, transparent and professional!'

'Energenic and especially my physio Michiel helped me get rid of my shoulder injury in one hour. Very refreshing method Michiel uses and so no unnecessary extra treatments.'

'Where my other specialists get stuck in treating and getting me pain free, Michiel manages to help me every time so I can move on. I'm a big fan!

'Energenic applies treatment methods that stimulate the body's self-healing ability. I have been helped fantastically to be pain free again. In addition, my balance has improved. Wonderful to experience and highly recommended!'
