Dr. Blumenauer is exacting in his approach in addressing the full range of patient complaints, whether they be acute or chronic. His experience is unique in understanding the complex relationships between muscle groups/tissues, how they misalign, and how they interact under stress. His focus is of the entire body and is not limited to the spine.
Through the application of highly specific techniques (Active Release Technique, Muscular Reeducation) coupled with intuitive awareness, he'll get to the root of the problem. Through the instruction of proper alignment exercises, derived from yoga, he'll help you reeducate your body out of its compensatory pattern. Simply put, he'll get you back in action as quickly as possible.
Every session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. Peter uses his hands to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Aberrant tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with specific patient movements. This is not a cookie cutter approach.
Each involved joint is moved through the fullest possible range of motion during each session. After the neuromuscular work, the patient is instructed in specifically aligned exercises, individual to each person and their complaint. The patient is then encouraged back to the activity that has been a problem, as soon as possible, to demonstrate that the problem has been resolved.
