History Of NMR
History of
Neuromuscular
Reprogramming
Like
all
bodywork therapies that have

proliferated in the last 80 years, NMR
has a history and a source.
NeuroMuscular Reprogramming is a
further application of the meridian
and muscle therapies taught by John
Thie, DC through Touch for Health.
My first introduction to the idea that

one could use muscle testing to address
the complexity of stored muscle
memory governing our relationships of
muscle coordination was in a short
class called the Touch for Health
Update in 1977. The concept of
Neuromuscular Reactive
Relationships came from that
workshop and likely from the
chiropractic profession and possibly
osteopathy before that.
Many people contributed to the

development of the NMR protocols. As
we used it in our private practices we
discovered the common patterns
predictable in biomechanical use of the
body in standing and function, in sport
and dance and daily life. All of the
teachers of the course over the years
contributed to the content of the
manual, most notably Gale Ulvang,
David Weinstock, Howard Nemerov
and Dana Arevalo.
Other
modalities have sprung off from NMR,

such as Neurokinetic Therapy
presented by David Weinstock, and the
Nemerov Technique of Howard
Nemerov. David, as a teacher and
former partner in Alive & Well!, began
teaching NMR for me in 1990. Howard
Nemerov assisted many courses and
helped write the initial NMR Manual,
pictures from that original work are
posted on the NeuroMuscular-
Reprogramming.com website. Joseph
Schwartz suggested the name
NeuroMuscular Reprogramming, which
is an apt description of what it does and
it was he who dug up the background
on the Hierarchy of Motor Control by
Vernon Brooks.
Once I began teaching it, there was a lot

of excitement about this innovation that
I had been developing over 10 years of
private practice. As more and more
people learned it, each of us developed
it in our own unique ways, melding it
with other knowledge to evolve ever
more effective approaches to problem
solving motor coordination
inefficiencies. Many, like Joseph
Schwartz and Ann Watkins, went on to
develop work that eventually came to
have an entirely different name.
NMR
global
understanding benefits from the same

muscle/meridian correspondence
outlined in Touch for Health and its
holistic understanding of
interconnecting body systems through
acupressure theory and basic
neuromuscular physiology are now wed
to stress and trauma alleviation
techniques learned from Educational
Kinesiology.
NMR has travelled to Vermont, New

Jersey, Seattle, North Dakota and North
Carolina where PT’s, athletic trainers
and bodyworkers incorporated this
modality into their work with clients.
Graduates of the 72 hour professional
training are scattered from Vancouver,
Canada to Florida.
My own further evolution of

NeuroMuscular Reprogramming has
lead to the essential need to
incorporate the neurologically mediated
survival response system into the
overall strategy necessary for
reprogramming the human body and
the musculoskeletal system as the body
cannot learn new coordination
information when in a state of shock or
fear. As a more holistic view of accident
and trauma is coming together with
‘medical massage’ (clinical massage
therapy), physical therapy and fitness
training, we are beginning to see a
holistic understanding the will enable
the body’s full capacity for self
correction. This is indeed an inspiring
moment for the field of medicine!
welcome all those pioneers who are

excited to begin the adventure of
mastering the language of
conversing with the body’s
Organizational Intelligence to help it
accomplish its potential for full
restoration of function!
