Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy®
Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy ® is a type of deep tissue massage
created by Therese Pfrimmer in the 1940's as a result of her own health challenges with paralysis. After curing herself of paralysis, she studied the body and health until she understood why it had worked and went on to create her own method of applications. She also wrote a book called in Muscles... Your Invisible Bonds a very rare but insightful book.
The theory is that applying specific strokes across the muscle fibers separate the fibers which allowed the lymphatic fluid to return to the muscles which brought back their ability to contract and relax. Ruthann Hobbs of T.C.P.I.A.D.M.T website claims that this technique can be used to correct and prevention serious muscle conditions such as ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's, Cerebral Palsy, brain injury and stroke.
