with Carol Wright, LMT, Myokinistetic Practitioner
What Is Myokinistetics (MYK)?
The Myokinesthetic System (MYK) is a gentle, non-invasive neuromuscular treatment that helps correct
postural imbalances caused by nerve-root dysfunction. Rather than only treating where it hurts, MYK
focuses on identifying which nerve root is not communicating properly, then rebalancing the muscles
served by that nerve pathway.
By restoring communication between the nervous system and the muscles, the body can naturally
realign itself — reducing pain, improving posture, and restoring movement. MYK is used by massage
therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and other bodywork professionals as a safe,
efficient, and clinically informed approach to pain relief.
Why Choose MYK with Carol Wright
Carol Wright, LMT, Myokinistetic Practitioner is one of fewer than 400 certified MYK
practitioners in the United States.
With over 18 years of massage therapy experience and an extensive medical background as a Radiology
and Lab Technician, Carol brings both clinical insight and compassionate understanding to every
session. Her own history of back injury, four back surgeries, and years of pain gives her a unique
perspective on what it takes to truly find relief.
Because Carol has lived through chronic pain herself, she understands how frustrating it can be when
nothing seems to help. That experience, combined with her advanced training in the Myokinesthetic
System, is what drives her to help others find lasting, meaningful change.
How MYK Works
1. Postural & Neurological Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed postural and movement assessment. Carol will observe how you
stand, move, and where you are experiencing pain or restriction. This helps identify which specific
nerve root is likely causing the imbalance.
2. Targeted Muscle Activation
Once the nerve root is identified, Carol gently stimulates the muscles innervated by that nerve
pathway. This may include:
- Light touch and pressure on specific muscles
- Guided movements (active and passive)
- Working both sides of the body to restore balance
No oils or lotions are used, and you remain fully clothed during treatment. Sessions are quick,
focused, and comfortable.
3. Nervous System Reset
By activating the correct nerve and muscle patterns, MYK helps “reset” the nervous system. Muscles
that were overworking can relax, while underactive muscles begin to fire correctly again. As this
balance is restored, posture improves and pain often decreases significantly.
4. Fully Clothed, No Oil, No Mess
MYK sessions are done with you fully clothed. There is no need to undress, and no oils or lotions
are used. This makes treatment easy to fit into your day, even on a lunch break or between other
appointments.
Conditions MYK May Help With
MYK has been used to help with a wide range of pain and dysfunction, including:
- Lower back pain and sciatic discomfort
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches and migraines
- Shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, and limited range of motion
- Hip, knee, and ankle pain
- Numbness, tingling, or nerve-related discomfort
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain issues
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Postural imbalances and asymmetry
- Chronic pain that has not responded well to other treatments
Many clients seek out Myokinistetics after trying multiple other therapies with limited results.
For some, MYK is the approach that finally brings real and lasting relief.
What to Expect in an MYK Session
Your First Visit
- Postural and movement analysis
- Nerve root identification
- First MYK treatment
Cost: $60
Follow-Up Treatments
For best results, treatments follow a specific pattern:
- Two treatments on consecutive days
- Skip one day
- A third treatment
This sequence is typically repeated over two weeks. After that, many clients continue with:
- Two treatments per week for a couple of weeks, or
- A customized schedule based on pain level and progress
Cost: $45 per follow-up treatment
New Client MYK Package
For new clients, Carol offers a special package designed to complete the initial treatment
sequence:
- Postural analysis
- Six Myokinistetics treatments
Package Price: $250 (Save $35)
Many clients notice significant improvement within the first week or two. Some experience dramatic
changes after completing the full protocol.
Why MYK Works
When a nerve becomes pinched, irritated, or compressed, it can no longer properly communicate with
all of the muscles it serves. This leads to:
- Some muscles becoming overactive and overworked
- Other muscles becoming weak or underactive
- Posture gradually being pulled out of alignment
- Pain, fatigue, and restricted movement
MYK addresses this issue at its source by restoring communication along the nerve pathway. As the
nervous system resets, posture improves and pain often decreases or even disappears.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to undress?
No. MYK is performed fully clothed. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement.
How long is a session?
Most MYK sessions last between 15 and 30 minutes.
Is MYK painful?
No. The techniques are gentle and focused. Most clients find treatments relaxing and pleasantly
therapeutic.
How quickly will I notice results?
Every body is different, but many clients report improvement within 1–3 sessions, with further
relief as they complete the recommended treatment plan.
How long do the results last?
Because MYK works with the nervous system and posture, results can be long-lasting, especially when
the full protocol is followed and daily habits support better alignment.
