Pain in the Scar or Ligament Area?
So far we have written about how we use NKT treatment to treat muscles and dysfunctional patterns that arose as a result of a past injury or trauma, with the aim of reprogramming the muscles. Certainly one of the main advantages and novelties of the NKT technique is the treatment of scars and ligaments, which do not receive adequate attention in general treatments.
WHY SCARS AND LIGAMENTS?
Ligaments are a much more important structure in the hierarchy of the neurological system, so a dysfunctional ligament sends signals to the muscle, which then acts according to that dysfunction; most often this shows up as increased muscle tone. In short, ligaments act and muscles react.
The most common conditions in which we find ligament dysfunction are certainly the following:
- Back and neck pain,
- Ankle sprains and various dislocations,
- Shoulder, hip or knee pain,
- Ligament injuries and fractures,
- Whiplash injuries,
- Strong blows to certain parts of the body.
Scars also belong at the very top of the hierarchy; besides carrying certain aspects of emotional trauma, they also represent visible physical trauma to the body. A scar is a place where the sensitivity of the nervous system is reduced or excessively increased, which can affect how a person functions and how muscles and other connective tissues function.
What we do with the NKT technique is normalise the function of the muscle affected by compensation due to the scar.
The technique is particularly suitable for larger scars on the body, any type of surgery, diastasis recti and cuts.
