Mitch Gries with Paul St. John

Why allow yourself to suffer any longer?

St. John Neuromuscular Therapy is the most precise and comprehensive manual soft tissue treatment available to quickly alleviate your pain and discomfort. Mitch Gries, a certified St. John Neuromuscular Therapist began his practice in 1977 working with world-class professional dancers, performing artists, and athletes with injuries and muscular strain.  He takes his high standards of restoring proper muscle tone flexibility, & strength and applies them to everyone he treats. Two to three sessions typically take you out of uncomfortable pain, then if needed, a treatment plan will be created to more fully restore your total rehabilitation.

1. Eliminate muscle spasm

2. Restore flexibility

3. Restore proper biomechanics

4. Increase muscle strength

5. Increase muscular endurance

My purpose is to not only to eliminate the pain, but educate the patient on ways to prevent recurrence of the injury.

St. John Neuromuscular Therapy fills a void left by traditional health care by analyzing soft tissue causes of pain.  According to recent research approximately 90% of pain symptoms are considered idiopathic, (no known cause.)  I believe the reason there is no known cause is that a proper investigation into the patient’s soft tissues is not being performed.  St. John Neuromuscular Therapy is analyzes and thoroughly explores the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in order to find these hidden sources of pain.

Restoring proper structure and biomechanics not only alleviate pain, but can positively affect a variety of physiological conditions.  One of the neurological laws that is the basis for St. John Neuromuscular Therapy is Wolff’s law, which states “form follows function and function follows form.”  Thus, a distortion in the form of the body is often correlated to improper function of the body.  For example, a slouching posture can decrease digestive function or a trigger point into the ear can affect hearing or balance.  When proper structure is restored to the body, the accompanying physiological problems are often alleviated.

Neuromuscular Therapy vs. Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage is a form of massage that is generally used to address muscle aches and pains associated with daily stress.  Deep tissue massage is usually administered on an on-off basis whenever a client decides they need a bit of relaxation and rest. and movement dysfunction by treating trigger points, muscle adhesions, and connective tissue patterns.  The problems are normally caused by a specific trauma, repetitive movements, or even bad posture.  Neuromuscular therapy is considered an ongoing treatment not just something a person does whenever they feel a bit achy.
