Trigenics® Myo-Neural System Therapy
Historically, Trigenics® was first in the world to combine simultaneous muscle treatment with resisted exercise.
In the early 1980’s Canadian-Estonian Chiropractor / Osteopath, Dr Allan Oolo Austin (DO, DC, MND, CCSP, CCRD, RTCMP, CFIS, PhD), developed and began to work with the concept of combining trigger point therapy with patient movement.
Clinical results using this concept were notably better than normal. In the early 1990’s he discovered that the simultaneous application of a specific combination of neuromuscular treatment techniques produced a significant amplification of the normal therapeutic effect on his patients for a wide range of neuro-musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions.
The results were much better and longer lasting than with other manual treatments in providing the patient with immediate significant pain relief along with increased strength and range of motion.
He referred to this multimodal neuro-summative treatment method as “Trigenics” to denote its 3 main components.

Section 1: Introduction to Trigenics®
The Trigenics® myoneural system is an advanced myo-neural (nerve/muscle) therapeutic intervention, implemented to restore normal neurological communication between brain and muscles/tendons during the soft tissue regeneration phase of healing. The Trigenics® system is used on regenerating tissue only after the damaged cells have been resolved first. It is an essential part of the recovery process for all who suffer from chronic pain, because the nervous system develops communication errors whenever painful damaged body regions see local neurological receptors cell damage. The brain responds by decreasing strength and length to the soft tissues to guard against the damaged tissue to protect it from further harm. Simply trying to stretchf and strengthen will not work until proper communication between the tissue and brain are re-established. This is why in so many situations, going to the gym or doing yoga fail to help in the recovery phase of healing.Section 2: How Trigenics® Myo-Neural System Therapy works
This therapeutic process involves the physical application of pressure supplied by a unique, cam-gear driven thruster technology administered to regenerating muscles, tendons, and ligaments damaged in the chronic pain condition. Its precise application stretches new neurological receptor cells that incorrectly healed in a shortened state. The length of muscle spindles and golgi tendon receptor cells must be at a precise length within the muscle’s fibres and muscle/tendon junction, as they dictate muscle length and strength, and tension on tendons. With normal neurological impulse generation from these receptor cells now established, all weakened and lazy muscles can be strengthened, and all extremely tight muscles can be relaxed, establishing that elusive biomechanical equilibrium that all who suffer with chronic pain do not have. Essentially, a muscle is contracted while this cam-gear driven technology applies thrust against the receptor cells resulting in their stretch. Instantly they change their impulse generation so the brain understands it can then increase motor impulse generation to begin strengthening the muscle and relaxing the tendon. Multiple sites in the muscle and tendons of every affected muscle are targeted with this therapy ensuring all return to normal. Then the body will begin to change seeing lazy muscles start to contract and excessively tight muscles begin to relax as both reach a state of equilibrium, essential for every body region. We are so fortunate to have been educated in the Trigenics® myoneural system in the USA by the world’s expert just before he retired.Section 3: Frozen Shoulder – Perfect case to illustrate Trigenics® efficacy
Trigenics® Therapy administered at the clinic – Frozen Shoulder.
Frozen shoulder is a perfect example of abnormal neurological receptor cell impulse generation.
The restricted motion in the affected shoulder is not simply a condition requiring tight muscles be stretched. Rather it is due to abnormal receptor cell impulse generation between the shoulder and brain.
Altered or damaged neurological receptor cells embedded within muscles/tendons, joint cartilage, and ligaments in the affected shoulder have shortened, resulting in a neurologically contractured state, severely limiting motion to the shoulder. Locating and stretching key dysfunctional receptor cells will immediately release the freeze neurologically without having to endure months of stretching exercises.
Low back pain, once the root causes have been eliminated, require this technology to reset normal neurological communication to all muscles of the low back, gluteals, hip flexors, and adductors.
Chronic pain is not caused by this mis-communication, but rather is one of the unfortunate results of it. So the final stage in our therapy plan is to reset the nervous system back to normal now that all the damaged tissues and joints have themselves returned to normal.
This is an amazing technology which is why we have it in our technology toolbox.
