FAQ
- What should I wear? Comfortable clothes like the kind you would work out in that will allow you to stretch. Some people find it helpful to wear slip on shoes that you can easily remove. You will always be fully clothed during the treatment.
- Will the treatment hurt? The severity of an individual's conditions vary making the experience different for each individual. However, many people are surprised by just how non evasive a myopractic treatment is. There can be a little discomfort when you reach the farthest reach on a stretch but for the most part it isn't considered a painful procedure. Eric is excellent at explaining what he is doing and putting patients of all ages at ease. He adjusts the intensity of the treatment based on the comfort of the patient striving to make it as gentle as possible.
- Will I feel better immediately? Many patients do! But of course it depends on what's going on. Many people come in with severe pain and symptoms and walk out without any. Some conditions have to be done a little at a time and will take a while to build up the muscle memory.
- How often can I have a myopractic treatment? Your body will let you know when you need another treatment but it just can't be more often than every 4 days. The connective tissue in your muscles need that time to regenerate.
- If I have had a surgery, can I still get a myopractic treatment? Yes, but please let Eric know all the surgeries you have had so he can adjust the treatment accordingly.
- What is the difference between a Myopractor and a Chiropractor? There are many differences, but the biggest difference is that a Myopractor focuses on the muscles and their movement starting from muscles in the pelvic area and working out from there to the whole body. A myopractic treatment will feel like it brings together physical therapy, muscle relaxation and skeletal integrity to the whole body with the basis that when one area is off, it starts affecting the other areas of your body and so forth. Myopractors will work the whole body to get movement everywhere rather than spot treat one area.
