How it Works:

Unlike other therapy methods that usually focus more on relieving the discomfort associated with a muscular disorder, Meilus Muscular Therapy(MMT) fixes the problem by applying pressure to a muscle or group of muscles to reduce lactic acid from the tissues and restoring normal blood flow. The muscle is then able to relax and lengthen to its normal state, triggering a reaction that begins the healing process.

Our muscular system is a series of muscles working to operate a variety of joints. When one of the muscles shortens, it affects the entire system and causes pain in the joint, muscles and surrounding tissues.

With a thorough understanding of how healthy muscles and joints should interact, we target and treat problem areas in the system.

When a muscle is shortened normal range of motion and power are lost. If you move quickly against a shortened muscle, you are at risk for injury,

Shortened muscles are full of waste products such as lactic acid. Healthy muscles are able to rid themselves of lactic acid. Muscles that are repeatedly over-exerted lose their ability to cleanse themselves. The result is a harmful buildup of waste, which slowly poisons your muscles. This restricts normal blood flow, causing muscles to contract and become stiff. If ignored long enough, the problem can develop into chronic pain, restricted motion, as well as skeletal and neurological disorders.
