P-DTR

Since graduation in 1996 I’m interested in exploring more effective approaches to the traditional physiotherapy. What sets P-DTR apart from traditional PT, is its focus on neurology, and why the brain creates pain and movement restriction around your body. In the last years I have been studying advanced neurological techniques like NeuroKinetic Therapy and  Proprioceptive-Deep Tissue Reflex (P-DTR) with London based practitioner, and neuromuscular therapist, Rebecca Haynes. 

After an injury, over use, operation, scar, or tattoo, or mental trauma the body is able to heal all of its structures within 3 to 6 months. During this healing period, the body is compensating through the nervous system, doing everything it can to help you perform regular activities. Over time, the neurologic compensation patterns, are causing you pain, not the healed structures. Therefore painkillers, rest, exercises, dry-needling or muscle massage won’t change the pain, since these interventions don't address the root of your problems. 

With P-DTR, we “reboot” the nervous system so that the brain no longer reacts to “misinformation” by compensating. This misinformation occurs somewhere in the circuit; the brain itself, the efferent neurological pathways from brain to the structure and the afferent neurological pathways from structure back to brain (afferent). Since it addresses the whole circuit it is so much more effective than other therapies.

It is known to be an effective method to deal with long-standing pain, movement issues, and “unexplained” problems. With P-DTR techniques we are able to find the causes of the compensation patterns and change the pattern by showing the nervous system a new way of functioning.
