Practice makes perfect, right? NO, practice makes permanent! This is especially true for muscle memory. Sports players practicing with poor technique and endurance athletes will inevitably cement dysfunctional movement patterns.
The neuromuscular system memorises motor skills and relearning these patterns after they have caused muscle imbalance and instability by Neuromuscular facilitation treatments requires consultation with an expert.
One such expert is physiotherapist Peter Stanton from Geelong, Australia. Highly regarded by his peers, Peter is sought out by professional athletes from around the world. You can find a testimonial from a dual Olympian, Andrew Johns who worked with Peter on the results he found with Q Magnets under Peter’s guidance.
Below is a brief video excerpt of Peter during an in-service at the Lifestyle Pain Clinic. Peter explains how he uses Q Magnets and it’s potential application to enhance muscle memory and reduce somatic dysfunction.

Dysfunctional muscle memory or Somatic dysfunction can also play a role in chronic pain as discussed in this excellent article in Medical Science News.
