"A heathly person has a thousand worries, while a sick person has only one."

Basic: NT, also known as P-DTR, is an advanced neurological therapy that helps the body correct faulty movement patterns, reduce pain, and improve performance by "resetting" how the brain interprets signals from muscles, tendons, and joints.
Scientific: Developed by Dr. José Palomar, NT/P-DTR is a neuro-functional rehabilitation system based on proprioceptive reflex testing and recalibration. It targets dysfunctional mechanoreceptors (Golgi tendon organs, muscle spindles, joint receptors) and nociceptors to restore optimal neuromuscular communication.

Basic: NT identifies "misfiring" sensory signals (e.g., from injuries or poor posture) and uses precise techniques to retrain the nervous system for better movement and pain relief.
Scientific: NT/P-DTR assesses aberrant reflex arcs (e.g., hyperactive or inhibited tendon reflexes) and applies manual stimulation (pressure, joint positioning, or muscle engagement) to normalize afferent (sensory) input to the CNS. This reprograms motor output for improved function.

Key Mechanism:

• Golgi Tendon Organs (GTOs) and Muscle Spindles are reset to prevent chronic inhibition/facilitation.
• Nociceptive (pain) pathways are modulated to reduce maladaptive responses.

Basic:

• Chronic pain (back, neck, joints)
• Sports injuries (strains, sprains, instability)
• Post-surgical rehab
• Headaches and nerve-related pain
• and many more

Scientific:

• Proprioceptive dysfunction (e.g., poor balance, coordination)
• Neuromuscular inhibition (e.g., "weak" muscles despite strength training)
• Peripheral nerve entrapments (e.g., sciatica, carpal tunnel)
• Central sensitization (chronic pain syndromes)

Basic: While more research is ongoing, NT is based on well-established neurology (how nerves and muscles communicate).
Scientific: NT/P-DTR integrates principles from:

• Sherrington’s Laws of Reflexes
• Gate Control Theory of Pain
• Neuroplasticity (brain’s ability to rewire)
  Current studies are limited but show promise for proprioceptive rehabilitation

Key Differences:  Therapy - Focus - Method

Chiropractic - Joint Alignment - Spinal Adjustments

Physical Therapy - Strength/Flexibility - Exercise/Stretching

NT/P-DTR - Nervous System Reprogramming - Reflex Recalibration

Scientific: NT doesn’t rely on structural adjustments but instead reconditions sensory feedback loops (e.g., muscle spindle sensitivity).

1. Assessment: Manual muscle testing + reflex checks.
2. Treatment: Gentle pressure, specific movements, or tapping to reset receptors.
3. Re-test: Immediate feedback to confirm improvement.

Duration: 60 mins (acute issues may resolve in 2–5+/- sessions, while chronic issues may resolve in 3-12+/- sessions). 

However, for the greatest results the best way to use GetMATFit once your issue has been resolved is consistent maintenance (every 4-6 weeks). Think of an oil change on your car. It's not weekly, it is dependent upon how often and how hard you use your car. Your body is no different, and this type of consistency allows your "body/vehicle" to optimally function and not leave you stranded!

Yes! Chronic pain often stems from maladaptive neuroplasticity (the brain "remembering" pain). NT disrupts these "altered" patterns by restoring normal proprioception.

Example: A years-old ankle sprain may still cause hip/knee pain due to unresolved reflex dysfunction.

• Non-invasive
• No forceful adjustments
• Suitable for all ages (athletes, adults, elderly, kids)

Dr. José Palomar (Mexico), a neurologist and rehab specialist, created P-DTR in the early 2000s by merging neurology, manual therapy, applied kinesiology, and biomechanics.

Yes! Only NT/P-DTR practitioners that went through the rigorous schooling process can apply the techniques correctly.
