NeuroSoma Therapy

Tell All Tuesday! Patient Testimonials! "When I first came to Dr. Draper Clinic, I had been living with headaches for close to 2 years. I got them 4-5 times a week and sometimes they were so severe that I could do nothing but crawl into bed. I was moody, irritable, and sad much of the time and I didn't know what was wrong with me. After I started seeing Dr. Draper Clinic, the headaches began to disappear-and literally within weeks, they were completely gone. I feel like my old, healthy self again!" Nathalie A.

Tell All Tuesday! Patient Testimonials! "I came to see Dr. Draper following an auto accident. I was suffering from terrible pain in my neck. I came in on Sunday in terrible pain, and I couldn’t even move my neck. By Tuesday I was feeling much better and by Friday I felt 100% back to normal.Thank you Dr. Draper" Adam C.

Meet the Doctor I grew up in Fresno California in a family of 9 children, 5 boys and 4 girls. My mother was a stay-at-home mom and my father taught art at Fresno City College for more than 30 years. I graduated from Fresno High School in 1972. and then attended Fresno City College for 1 year before serving a 2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints in Queensland Australia at the age of 19. Upon returning from Australia, I continued with my educatio...Continue reading

NeuroSoma is a very delicate, yet remarkably powerful fingertip massage technique that relaxes hard, overly-contracted muscle tissue by stimulating small feedback nerves located within muscle spindle sensory receptors. Unlike regular massage therapy, NeuroSoma specifically addresses hypertonic muscle spasm, which is different than ordinary tension in that it is produced by a malfunction of the nervous system. With a precise and limited pressure, the NeuroSoma myotherapist ...stimulates specialized feedback nerves in muscle spindles. This extremely sophisticated and effective fingertip stimulation corrects distorted nerve feedback to the cerebellum. The newly-functioning feedback loops are then able to inform the cerebellum of the contracted condition of the muscle, allowing the brain to correctly see the contraction in which it has been holding the muscle, and consequently to relax the muscle. This cutting edge bodywork actually enables the body to heal itself. The NeuroSoma myotherapist stimulates these feedback nerve beds using a limited pressure not deep enough to activate the stretch-reflex mechanism, also originating in the muscle spindles. The process of softening knotted, tight muscles is cumulative. At such time as optimum results are achieved (the core spasms are reached and the muscle is healthy throughout), maintenance becomes the objective. This therapy is not in itself a cure, since its purpose is to activate the body’s own healing power. It generates other changes, such as increased circulation, joint health, and nerve repair, and reduced histamine production. The degree and speed of change depend on the extent and age of the disturbance, the amount of recuperative power released by each session, and the pace at which your own nervous system operates, which varies from person to person. NeuroSoma is based on hard science and 30 years of research of human physiology and anatomy. In short, this leading-edge therapy to heal muscle spasm does not try to mash the muscle into submission; rather it operates in the nervous system; it stimulates feedback nerves, reinstates feedback loops from the muscle to the cerebellum, and it is then the brain that relaxes the muscle.
