Deep Muscle Therapists

This is just a partial list of ways that Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy® has been shown to be effective to overall health:

Muscular System

Corrects damaged muscles and separates adherent fibers.

Allows nutrients and medicines to reach the cellular area and waste to be removed.  

Softens hard, fibrous muscles and relieves pain.

Skeletal System

Clears deposits and debris from old bone injuries.

Restores damaged ligaments and tendons at bone attachments.

Improves joint range of motion

Enhances effectiveness of chiropractic & osteopathic treatments.

Allows for improved posture and stronger stance.

Nervous System

Releases entrapment of nerves in soft tissue. 

Reduces inflammation & congestion along nerve pathway. (neuritis, radiculitis, neuralgia, etc.)

Relieves neuromuscular conditions.  Improves conditions resulting from brain injury.

Integumentary System

Improves circulation to the skin, thus moisturizing dry, scaly skin & improving tone.

Reduces bed sores, acne & other skin eruptions.

Excellent for geriatric skin problems.

Regular treatment can improve the appearance of cellulite.

Endocrine System

Opens up dry muscle cells so endocrine hormones can reach their end site through improved circulation.

Cardiovascular System

Contributes to the improvement of sclerotic blood vessels.

Relieves congestion in chest for congestive heart patients.

Improves general health so that heart patient can maintain self through exercise.

Lymphatic System

Releases entrapment of lymphatic vessels.  "Drains" sluggish nodes

Improves integrity of lymphatic vessel walls.

Respiratory System

Releases restriction in the muscles that aid in breathing.

Promotes postural improvement thereby reducing "crowding" of the lungs.

Removes old congestion in the lung or rib area.

Digestive System

Improves tone in muscular walls for peristalsis.

Clears adherent factors between organs (intestines can get "stuck together," as can stomach & pancreas.)

Moves out inflammation, congestion & old fecal matter from the tract.

Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy® Has Been Demonstrated To Have An Indirect Effect On:

Urinary System

Relieves spasms and restriction of the Psoas muscle adjacent to the kidneys. 

Releases restriction from bladder area in pelvic floor.

Reproductive System

Clears congestion in pelvic floor area.

Tones & balances muscles during and after pregnancy.

Helps regulate menses through improved general health.

This is just a partial list of ways that Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy® has been shown to be effective to overall health.

Arthritis:  PDMT moves toxins out of the muscle and joint, moving out edema, and inflammation, as well as pain.  It often improves the range of motion of the joints.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:  PDMT moves congestion from the median nerve area of entrapment.

Constipation & Digestive Distress:   PDMT  improves tone in limp, flaccid muscles of the colon wall contributing toward improved peristaltic action.

Headaches:  PDMT releases adherent factors in the neck, improving blood flow to the brain, as well as relieving a major cause of headaches:  stress!

Heart Problems:  PDMT relieves congestion from around the heart and improves the tone in muscle walls of the blood vessels, as well as muscle pathways leading to the heart.

Joint & Muscle Pain:  PDMT releases adherent back and neck muscles, restoring their ease of motion and reducing the incidence of spasm.  It helps spinal adjustments to hold more successfully.

Occupational Injuries:  Occupational injuries often result from overuse of a muscle in a repetitive movement, causing muscle strain, dryness and restriction. PDMT restores the muscle's blood and lymphatic flow so it moves freely and without pain.  Inflammation caused by cumulative trauma disorder (CID) or repetitive strain injury (RSI) can be dispensed of in the same way.

Paralysis:  PDMT opens muscular pathways so that fresh oxygenated blood can reach muscle cells thereby improving the function of the nerve in the motor unit.  (If the muscle is too dry, the supply of freshly oxygenated blood is inadequate, contraction cannot take place, and the nerve seems non-functional).

Poor Circulation:  Often damaged muscles deep in the body will press on blood vessels impairing blood flow.  PDMT helps cold hands and feet, dry skin, varicose veins, old injuries which are slow in healing and other circulatory problems to improve.

Sciatic Pain:  Sciatic pain is often caused by tension or spasm in the piriformis and/or psoas muscle, resulting entrapment of the sciatic nerve.  PDMT resolves this irritation along the nerve pathway in the specific areas of entrapment.

Sports Injuries:  PDMT releases muscle restrictions thereby helping to balance the stress on weight-bearing joints.  It also improves joint range of motion and reduces spinal subluxation.  PDMT contributes tot the effectiveness of chiropractic, orthopedic and sports medicine treatment effectiveness.

Tendonitis, Bursitis:   PDMT reduces inflammation and congestion surrounding bone, cartilage, joint capsule, joint spaces and bursae.  It isolates and relieves the restrictive muscle which is pulling on the joint and causing pain in the soft tissues.

Trauma & Car Accidents:  When injuries don't heal in the normal time frame, there is often underlying muscle distress, resulting in a cycle of chronic pain.  PDMT interrupts the chronic pain cycle with corrective muscle work.  Joint limitations resulting from old fractures can often be corrected.

Whiplash:   Whiplash can cause damage to the minute fibers of the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the neck and back.  It often results in congestion and tension in the sub-occipital and sublingual/throat muscles.  PDMT removes the congestion and tension from these injured areas, relieving restricted movement and pain.
