If you suffer from migraines, you know how debilitating they can be. The throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea can make it difficult to go about your daily activities. While there are various treatments available for migraines, one option that you may not have considered is MYK System Therapy. MYK System Therapy is a gentle technique developed by Dr. Michael Uriarte, D.C. that focuses on balancing posture and compensations. While it is primarily used to treat aphasia associated with post-stroke and brain tumors, it can also be beneficial for individuals with migraines. The therapy involves assessing your posture and treating the nerve root(s) associated with any imbalances through gentle massage. During a MYK System Therapy session, which lasts up to 20 minutes, you can choose to be seated or lying on a massage table in various positions. The best part is that you remain fully clothed throughout the treatment, making it a comfortable and convenient option. The goal of the therapy is to alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance range of motion. Immediate results can be seen after a session of MYK System Therapy, but significant improvements may require 3-5 sessions, depending on the duration of your condition. It is important to note that MYK System Therapy is not covered by insurance, so you will need to consider the cost when deciding if it is the right option for you. One of the unique aspects of MYK System Therapy is that it is used by Physical and Occupational Therapists as well as massage therapists. This means that you can have confidence in the expertise and training of the practitioners who offer this therapy. Karen Heyden, a Certified MYK Practitioner, offers MYK System Therapy at Concierge Lymphatic Massage Therapy located at 540 Regency Centre Collinsville, IL 62234. Karen recently recertified in Tampa, FL, after attending a four-day intense seminar. She is a licensed massage therapist and earned her BA from Rollins College. If you are interested in learning more about MYK System Therapy, you can find published articles and video demonstrations at MYK Videos. To schedule an appointment with Karen Heyden, you can call or text her at 618-696-6411. While MYK System Therapy may not be the first treatment option that comes to mind when it comes to migraines, it is worth considering if you have tried other treatments without success. The gentle massage and focus on balancing posture and compensations may provide the relief you have been searching for. Don't let migraines hold you back any longer - give MYK System Therapy a try and see if it can alleviate your pain and improve your quality of life.
