How do you get started?

As an Austin Muscle Restoration client, you will first speak with Shannon O’Connor to be sure that the services we provide are appropriate for your goals. Shannon can answer any questions you may have and help match you with the best muscle system specialist to meet your needs. We believe that the neuromuscular system is a special entity and results are optimized when client and practitioner feel appropriately matched.

If we both agree that Austin Muscle Restoration is a great fit for you, Shannon will set up your account and send you 4 paperwork links to give us the opportunity to get to know you, gather information about your history, and understand what unique needs and goals you may have. You will also have the opportunity to read in depth about our practice, prices and policies, as transparency is an important value for us. You will be required to add a valid credit card to our merchant service before booking an evaluation. Please read our cancellation policy carefully, as we will charge your card on file if necessary (which we do NO want to do :{)

Once your paperwork is complete and you are ready to schedule, Shannon will send you the fist available evaluation time. Your practitioner will thoroughly review your intake paperwork before your session. We require your forms to be submitted 48 hours in advance or your evaluation will be rescheduled. We cannot complete a safe evaluation if we are not intimately familiar with your neuromuscular history.

At your evaluation, we will ask follow up questions from you intake form and then we will thoroughly assess the current state of your muscular system. This process includes a posture grid check, a weight distribution check, and a whole body neuromuscular exam which takes place on a PT table. Please wear comfy leggings or sweatpants or workout pants and a comfy top as our practitioner will need to move your body and limbs around to record range of motion and muscular output. After the physical assessment, your practitioner will sit with you and share a diagram explaining their findings based on your oral report, your intake report and their physical assessment. They will explain how their findings link to your reported sensations and muscular restoration goals and present you with a custom roadmap to restoration.

We do not use protocols. Each client plan is highly individualized and completely customized to your needs and goals. Your practitioner will be able to estimate the nature and length of your recommended interventions at the end of your evaluation.
