What is Integrative Manual Therapy, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Myofascial Release Therapy, and Strain Counter Strain Therapy?
Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) IMT is a total person therapy that consists of many non-invasive hands on system specific techniques that can address problems that exist in each system of the body; muscular skeletal, fascial, skin, nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system, immune system, respiratory system, circulatory system, lymphatics, and others. IMT is not a type of type of massage therapy, however it is very relaxing. There are specific techniques for each system of the body. The IMT therapist is trained to address problems in an integrative way known as an integrative systems approach. This makes IMT very effective because all problems of pain involve several systems of the body. The integrative systems approach also enables improvements to hold. For example, there could be pain due to a joint being out of alignment and not getting enough blood supply. Correcting the alignment problem without correcting the blood supply problem could make the pain go away temporarily
