Before Trigenics® is administered, Dr. Petrie begins with assessing the area of complaint and its muscle’s length (tightness) and strength as it relates to symmetry, meaning how well opposite muscle groups across a joint work in unison with one another. While administering Trigenics® treatment, Dr. Petrie will use his hand, pulsation, or vibration instruments on the involved muscle groups while the patient is performing active breathing and movements. On the first treatment, a patient will typically note immediate and often dramatic, positive changes in a range of motion, strength, and pain. With increased movement and strength, patients will be able to function more efficiently in their daily and recreational activities and decrease their risk of injuries (both short-term and long-term).
