Certified Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapist (NMRT): Healing Arts Institute

For the serious corrective therapist

Time is money. Many clients and athletes can't afford to take the time it takes to rehabilitate injuries so they constantly re-injure themselves and create chronic problems. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy (NMRT) offers a solution to this problem by not only rehabilitating injury, it also reduces chronic pain, improves normal function and enhances athletic performance faster than traditional methods.

Many doctors, chiropractors, and rehabilitation facilities are seeking trained and certified NMRT's with the assessment techniques necessary to specifically identify injuries and the skills to properly rehabilitate them. NMRT Protocols are especially attractive to medical professionals because they are billable under the new Colorado insurance laws. If you are seeking to set yourself out from the crowd and gain a real competitive advantage in your private practice, NMRT provides you with cutting edge technology in dealing with sports and repetitive strain injuries.

The 125 hour Certification Program includes:

Treatment and rehabilitation protocols for sports and repetitive strain injuries.
a wide range of neuromuscular tools to reduce pain and improve function
Range of Motion (ROM) assessment of joints.
Palpation techniques to isolate pain patterns and their causes.
Identifying movement limitation and compensation patterns of common conditions.
Muscle testing to isolate which muscles are involved in various syndromes.
Protocols for working acute and chronic conditions.
Stretching and exercise rehabilitation plans.
Advanced trigger point therapy
Body Mind integration skills

The Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapist (NMRT) Program is designed in convenient workshop formats to make it easier for therapists to fit them into their busy schedules. They may be taken individually or in total to receive the full NMRT certification.
