NMRT is a clothed technique that is designed to reestablish balance in the body. Communication about proper function and balance from your body to your brain is essential, and sometimes due to physical or emotional trauma the body adapts to movement and physiological patterns that cause more harm than good. Due to adaptive shifts in the body the brain’s set point changes. That is to say, the nervous system no longer perceives the problem as a problem. Although this new state is not optimum, the brain and sensory organs will no longer try to return back to its most balanced state..
