Neuromuscular Re-education

At Ignite Physical Therapy, we believe that there is a significant difference between neuromuscular re-education and strengthening. True tissue hypertrophy, or strengthening, takes about 6 weeks to see significant changes. Most of our patients attend physical therapy for 4-6 weeks, so the majority of benefits we see are due to improved neuromotor control of tissues and, thus, improved overall movement strategies. Our goal at Ignite Physical Therapy is to teach your muscles, brain, and body to move more efficiently by getting specific muscles to perform as they were designed to perform, free from compensation from other muscles. After this is achieved, specific strengthening can then be incorporated into patient programs.
