St. John Neuromuscular Therapy™ is a holistic, comprehensive program that effectively treats the five causes of pain based on Paul St. John’s research:

1. Ischemia - lack of blood supply to the soft tissues that causes them to become very sensitive to the touch.
2. Trigger Points - occur when nerves fire impulses at a rapid speed into an area of the body other than that which has been traumatized.
3. Nerve Compression/Entrapment - pressure on a nerve by bone, cartilage or soft tissue.
4. Postural Compensation - an imbalance of the muscular system resulting in trauma to soft tissues.
5. Biomechanical Compensation - an imbalance of the musculoskeletal system resulting in faulty movement patterns.

The potential causes of pain are identified during the initial assessment. The treatment plan is then implemented which includes:

1. Eliminating muscle spasms and restoring adequate blood flow to the injured area.
2. Restoring proper functioning of concerned movement patterns.
3. Restoring flexibility, strength & endurance to the injured area(s)

Patients are empowered in this process of balancing their body and improving their health. They learn effective stretches, exercises, and practical health and lifestyle modifications to complement the treatment, and take control of their health.
