Tom Kaptain : Neuromuscular Therapist / Owner

Pain relief from muscular pain is something very precious to me. Sharing and helping others to have this freedom from muscular pain is my primary purpose. If you are uncertain if neuromuscular therapy is for you, then may I suggest you try it once? As words of wisdom have told us over the centuries “ leave no stone unturned” and neuromuscular pain relief is definitely a stone to not leave unturned for pain relief.

It was that fateful day back in 1983. I was 32, in the music business and completely absorbed with my work in Pompano beach, Florida. That morning, I awoke, decided it was time to get up, but I couldn’t move my body. My mind said get up, however, the body didn’t obey. It was terrifying. It took almost fifteen minutes to move and get up. Up until this, I never had any physical problems to speak of and had been extremely active in sports, on land and sea from the moment my young body was capable of activity.

Promptly, I began to exercise again (after a few years of non-activity except for beach Volleyball). Soon, I noticed my right shoulder was two inches lower than the left and the muscles throughout the right arm, shoulder and back felt extremely locked up and numb. Up until this moment I hadn’t noticed this condition. I should mention I pitched baseball in organized league and high school for eleven years and threw thousands of curveballs from 1958 thru 1969. I asked my yoga-stretching teacher what could be done to correct this dropped shoulder, and what she said changed my life to a new way of thinking about my body and care of it. Fate stepped into my life again. What she said was “you need is Neuromuscular deep tissue therapy”. I said, “what is that”, and when I received my first Neuromuscular deep tissue therapy session I was overcome with enormous relief. It took about fifteen sessions to correct the shoulders chronic severity and during these sessions I remember telling myself that someday I am going to learn how to do this for people who are suffering from pain just as I was.

Five years later, I sold my music shop and took one year off to wait for the inspiration to show me the way to a career with real purpose and not just another job to get a pay-check. It actually happened to me in February 1989. An inspiration from somewhere beyond me stepped into my life to let me know my life’s calling. Three days later I was in therapy school and haven’t looked back since.

In the past fourteen years since the fall of 1989, my career as a neuromuscular therapist Has spanned performing over 21,000 therapy sessions for muscular/skeletal conditions of all types, including the elderly, children, professional athletes of all major sports and everyone else.

Julee Miller: Neuromuscular Therapist, LMT, B.A. S

I began my healthcare venture back in 1981 when I was a youth volunteer at Bay Pines VA Medical Center for five years in the rehabilitation department. This experience afforded me to witness first hand how to help restore function from “dysfunction”. I then attended and graduated college with a Bachelors degree in Athletic Training. Afterwards, I worked in a clinical setting under several physical, occupational, and speech therapists for the next six years. It was during this time when I realized the importance of therapeutic massage and its crucial role in the healing process. I graduated massage therapy school in 1994 and have taken several continuing education courses in Sports Massage, Reflexology, Prenatal Massage, Reiki I, and Aromatherapy.

I have worked as a neuromuscular therapist in all settings from clinics, hospitals, chiropractic offices, multidisciplinary settings, sporting events, as well as been a member of the 2004 Athens Sports Massage Team where I provided treatment to competing athletes. I have had the opportunity to successfully treat people with pain syndromes from professional athletes (baseball, football, and track), hospitalized patients, the weekend warriors, pregnant women, and many more.

I invite you to take the step towards restoring function, relieving pain patterns, and returning to wellness. You will be amazed at the healing process, and wonder why you haven’t taken action before!

Carl Jerome: Neuromuscular Therapist

One of the most rewarding aspects of my life has been relieving people from pain and injury. After thousands of sessions as a massage therapist, I have and continue to help people avoid unnecessary surgeries and provide pain relief through neuromuscular therapy.

I have always known that I had a natural ability in healing people.

While massaging friends in high school and co-workers later in life, I never imagined that it would lead me to a career. In the year 2000, after working several years assisting in physical therapy where I learned that physical therapy alone wasn’t enough to heal the conditions of the people. As I started to incorporate massage techniques, the injuries seemed to improve at a faster rate. It was then that I went to massage school to improve on my natural ability.

After I graduated massage school, I provided chair massages at companies. Even then, people in pain seemed to be drawn to me. In November 2001, Texas Center for Neuromuscular Therapy discovered me. My abilities combined with the experience of many therapists that have many years of experience increased my effectiveness for relieving pain far greater fan I ever thought possible in a very short amount of time.
