About music bAND Aid
The cause of chronic pain while moving or playing is usually never at the pain source itself. At MusicBANDAid, our mission with the NCMT therapy method is finding the cause of the problem and successfully treating it. Helping the musicians body to self repair
The MusicBAND Aid - Physiotherapy for Rockstars has been founded by Physiotherapist, GYROKINESIS trainer and stage performer Anna Achimowicz. As a branch of Dance Medicine Center CMT founded initially in 2011, Anna's own rock career led to further development into forming Performing Arts Medicine center in 2019, addressing the health needs of dancers, musician and stage performers. MusicbAND Aid is dedicated towards functional diagnosing & treating touring professional musicians as well artists just starting their career covering a broad range of music related injuries.
The Neuro - Cranial Mobilization Technique by J. Randolf (NCMT) is a diagnostic and therapeutic method, focusing on the central source of all chronic heath problems, dysfunctions and wear & tear injuries that haven't been addressed early on. The main focus on a musicians body are the key centers: the pelvis, spinal column and cranium as the structural building blocks to overall physical and emotional wellbeing
By gentle activation and mobilisation of these systems the musicians body remains in balance.
The nerve system is stimulated to reorganise:
- musculo- skeletal function
- structural balance
- biomechemically and emotionally
Any disbalance to these systems cause a compensatory mechanism, where the organism is triggered into repair mechanisms yet often those are improper leading to bad movement habits. Those as a result lead overtime to injury and permanent structural damage requiring surgical interference. It's often complicated to determine the initial cause of the problem, NCMT method helps to find the cause of pain, with a test scan protocol, and perform quick and effective corrections and adjustments.
​
What does NCMT stand for ?
Neuro - Cranial Mobilization Technique. In principal all corrections and tests prior to the adjustments performed to the body are mobilising the nerve system, thru adjusting a spine segment, a cranial bole, peripheral joint, an organ or meridian.
