Living with limited mobility can be challenging, especially for individuals who are wheelchair-bound. Everyday tasks that most people take for granted, such as getting dressed or reaching for an object, can become difficult and painful. However, there is a therapy technique called MYK System Therapy that can help alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance range of motion for wheelchair-bound individuals. MYK System Therapy, developed by Dr. Michael Uriarte, D.C., focuses on balancing posture and compensations. It is primarily used to treat aphasia associated with post-stroke and brain tumors, but it can also be beneficial for individuals with other specific complaints such as migraines and stomach aches. The therapy involves assessing the client's posture and treating the nerve root(s) associated with any imbalances through gentle massage. One of the great advantages of MYK System Therapy is that it can be conducted while the client is seated in a wheelchair or lying on a massage table in various positions. This means that individuals who are wheelchair-bound can easily access this therapy and experience its benefits. The sessions typically last up to 20 minutes, and the client remains fully clothed throughout the treatment. Immediate results can often be seen after just one session of MYK System Therapy. However, significant improvements may require 3-5 sessions, depending on the duration of the client's condition. It is important to note that MYK System Therapy is not covered by insurance, but the benefits it provides can be well worth the investment. If you are a wheelchair-bound individual seeking MYK System Therapy, Karen Heyden, a Certified MYK Practitioner, offers this therapy at Concierge Lymphatic Massage Therapy located at 540 Regency Centre Collinsville, IL 62234. Karen is a licensed massage therapist who recently recertified in Tampa, FL, after attending a four-day intense seminar.

This means that you can trust in the effectiveness and credibility of this therapy technique.
