What is Neuro-Motor Integration.
Neuro-Motor Integration (NMI) (has also been called Neuromuscular Reprogramming (NMR)) is a way to communicate with the Motor Control Center in order to correct poor compensation patterns.
There is an underlying paradigm which states that the motor control center only learns through failure. As long as something works it is not questioned. Once there is a failure, the next combination of muscles, no matter how apporpirate they are for the task, which succeed in performing the action, will be recorded as the muscles to use for that action. This is commonly referred to as a compinsation pattern.
NMI uses this paradigm to not only find the compensation patterns but also to correct them.
For the most part our bodies can function in the real world, move, turn, stand, sit, with or without pain, we know that some compenstation pattern is doing the action. Through muscle testing, it is revealed which specific muscles can function and can not. When something is not fuctioning then motor control center treats that as a failure. By discovering the various muscles that are compensating for the requested action we can relax or strenghten as needed to allow for the muscles to successfully do the action it is requested. This then programs the muscles with the new pattern. All muscles that have been doing the function, which are now no longer apart of the pattern, no longer receive a message from the motor conrtol center to perform an action and will be told to be at rest.
