Dr. Jeff Almon has been consulting extensively with professional athletes and teams to demonstrate the effectiveness of his assessment and treatments. This approach has been used on NHL, CFL, PGA, and Canadian, Chinese, Barbados, South African and Trinidad National programs and their athletes.


The applied functional neurological approach assesses the brain’s ability to communicate effectively with the body. When there is a disconnection between how the brain wants to perform an action, and the ability of the body to actually do it, injuries often happen.


The neurokinetic analysis is the core assessment which provides a full functional neurological work-up from head to toe. It identifies which muscle groups are inhibited and attempts to fully re-activate them by treating functional compensations.


Even long after a tissue has healed, the body may retain a neuro-protective state that continues to protect the now-healed tissue. With appropriate treatment, the neuro-protective state can be normalized allowing proper biomechanics and return to activity with little to no pain.


By testing muscle strength and length, the practitioner can observe patterns which can help identify the origins of the dysfunction. Most of the time, the dysfunction is caused by faulty motor programming in the brain. With this information we can stimulate the sensory system of the brain through treatment and rehabilitation of the muscles, fascia and nervous system receptors. The site of rehabilitation may be far from to the area of pain, but proper rehabilitation of these areas make a great difference in dysfunction management and return to a proper functioning state.


Some health practitioners rely solely on orthopaedic tests to find structural pathologies, such as ligament sprains or muscle strains, but don’t look for functional pathologies which are discovered through muscle muscle testing (MMT) and functional movement screens. With the assessment, we look for structural and functional pathologies.


Treatments are designed to send a rush of sensory information to the brain. This sensory information inhibits pain perception by allowing the brain to process correct sensory information and allow proper motor control. This technique incorporates three important factors;


          1.  Muscle distortion from the practitioner

          2.  Active movement by the patient

          3.  Breathing feedback by the patient


This functional neurological assessment and treatment approach is especially useful for difficult cases and individuals who have seen various therapists without satisfactory results.


Visit the clinic for an assessment to help bring you back to the levels that you are aiming for and return to an optimal, functional state.
