Reprogramação Muscular Profunda (RMP) stands for Deep-Muscle Reprogramming. It is a conscious training technique that, in turn, proposes movement patterns in specific postures directed by breathing reeducation. It is also a proprioceptive neuromuscular reprogramming that induces the patient to learn from the correction of inadequate movements and from the perception of correct posture, in static and dynamic modes.

We adopt afferent and efferent means of learning, i.e., stimuli from the outskirts to the brain and vice versa aiming at the alteration of already existing patterns by activity repetition thru exercises, following to the established concepts of cerebral plasticity.

The exercises include the following work tools: respiratory reeducation; joint mobility; muscle strengthening, muscle stretching, motion coordination and correction of inadequate posture patterns and of the already incorporated movements.

We use balls of several sizes, made of different materials; ribbon like elastic rubber bands of different resistance, positioning rolls, and sticks among other materials. The exercises are carried out progressivelly adapted to the capacity of the individual to perform the specific tasks the method proposes.

The postures are done with the individual lying down, seated or on feet, usually in a closed kinetic sequence, with a progression of difficulty of exercises, from basic to advanced.

Strengthening of the tiny deep muscles of the backbone, as well as their adequate stretching are enforced at all moments of the exercises.

Mobility and strengthening of the scapular and pelvic waists are coordinated together with the respiration and contraction of the abdominal muscles.

The exercises are done in a slow and synchronous mode with constant modulation of the tonus during the complete evolution of the movements that, in their turn evolve from dynamic to static.

This work methodology is used on patients presenting skeleton-muscular and neurological dysfunctions like disc herniation and associated neurological sequels, tendinitis, scoliosis, sport related injuries, conservative treatment of patella condromalatia caused by the mechanical unbalance of this structure, injuries of the crossed ligaments of the knee, post surgery complementary treatment in case of total prosthesis of the pelvic bone, rehabilitation after fracture immobilizing, Parkinson’s disease, among others.

It is also used on people with signs of deep muscular pain, associated to contracture, postural deviations, consequence of biomechanical unbalance of the anteroposterior and lateral muscular chains caused by the repetitive activities of the daily work life.
