Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control your voluntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are the ones you can control, like in your arms and legs. Your nerve cells, also called neurons, send the messages that control these muscles. When the neurons become unhealthy or die, communication between your nervous system and muscles breaks down. As a result, your muscles weaken and waste away. The weakness can lead to twitching, cramps, aches and pains, and joint and movement problems. Sometimes it also affects heart function and your ability to breath.

The goal of treatment is to improve symptoms, increase mobility and increase quality of life.

    • Already in 1976 Maria was presented with a horrible problem case. A client was at wit’s end to deal with CRSP (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy = Sudeck Syndrome), affecting a hand and beginning to cause problems with her arm and shoulder. There seemed to be no therapy available and no medical prognosis with any hope for returning use of the hand. In fact, she had been told to expect the cramping uselessness of the limb would extend to other parts of her body as sleeplessness and chronic pain affected all parts of her life. Maria utilizes a great variety of modalities and skills. In this case her skills, intelligence, and determination were challenged. She researched CRSP (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy = Sudeck Syndrome), found every expert she could, and finally decided on a regimen of massage and other therapies. She has been successful with several CRSP (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy = Sudeck Syndrome) patients and is now working hard to provide her techniques to other people suffering from CRSP (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy = Sudeck Syndrome) so that they can be rehabilitated. A testimonial from one of her CRSP (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy = Sudeck Syndrome) patients is included on the Testimonials web page. She invites anyone with an interest in CRSP (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy = Sudeck Syndrome) to contact us.

  • Myofascial Release

    • Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy used to treat somatic dysfunction and accompanying pain and restriction of motion. This is accomplished by relaxing contracted muscles, increasing circulation, increasing venous and lymphatic drainage, and stimulating the stretch reflex of muscles and overlying fascia.
