What is Myotonic Facilitation? Myotonic Facilitation is based upon three concepts; 1) nerves control the power output of muscles and muscles control the movement and alignment of bones, 2) a healthy muscle is strong, flexible and pain free, and 3) muscle adhesions/restrictions need to be gently detangled to achieve maximum muscle function. Myotonic Facilitation combines objective neuro-musculo-skeletal diagnosis, hard & soft tissue techniques and Dynamic Injury Prevention Stretching [DIPS] protocols developed by Dr. Todd Turnbull, DC. With an open mind toward finding answers that work; Dr. T combined his muscle diagnostic skills, martial arts/yoga training, coaching and treating elite athletes and sports chiropractic education [CCSP] to develop methods to evaluate and correct neuro-muscular dysfunction quickly and effectively. "Physician heal thyself!" is the philosophical concept that directed the development of these protcols. Objective diagnostic evaluation incorporates posture analysis, static and dynamic range of motion, Dr. Turnbull's Eccentric Break Testing [EBT] protocols and advanced muscle palpation skills. Chiropractic adjusting techniques include bony and soft tissue techniques to activate neuromuscular integration and create immediate increases in muscle power output [The WOW factor]. Rehabilitation uses traditional closed & open chain exercises and Dr. Turnbull's trademark Dynamic Injury Prevention Stretching [DIPS] protocols designed to gently detangle muscle fiber adhesions and restrictions.
