Neuro Muscular Amnesia


Neuromuscular amnesia happens when the nerve pathway to a muscle stops working correctly. The body “forgets” how to activate that muscle.


A common example is asking someone to squeeze their glutes and watching them engage their stomach or pelvic floor instead. You can test yourself by standing with your feet straight and trying to contract only your glutes. If other muscles join in, you may have this issue.


Posture therapy addresses neuromuscular amnesia by:


  • Identifying muscles that are not activating properly
  • Re-training the nervous system to recruit them correctly
  • Reducing compensation from other muscles
  • Restoring proper movement patterns


The goal is to get the right muscles doing the right job at the right time so your body functions at its best.
