新关节松弛术：下肢（MALE）

New Manual Articular Approach: Lower Extremity (MALE)

新关节松弛术（NMAA，前身为 Global Joint Treatment）是一种以综合取向处理关节的手法治疗方式。

New Manual Articular Approach (NMAA), formerly Global Joint Treatment, is a manual therapy modality that applies a comprehensive approach to the treatment of joints.

“Articular”指人体关节——身体其他结构之间互联的关键节点。关节接收并发出与身体其他部位的信息，也与我们的情绪相连。NMAA 整合关节的所有方面，包括神经、动脉、骨、囊与韧带，以及内脏与情绪联系。NMAA 对关节的深入前所未有：检查每个关节的神经，以及动脉、韧带、囊附着与皱襞；结合相关骨骼的软组织松动，同时观察全身骨骼之间的直接与间接关系。内脏与关节的关系并未被广泛理解。NMAA 展示二者如何互联，并指出若不处理这种内脏联系，许多关节问题可能无法完全解决。温和的 NMAA 技法应用可提升身体自我疗愈并恢复到最佳健康的能力。

"Articular" refers to the joints of the body, which are critical points of interconnectivity between all other structures within the body. Joints receive and emit messages with other parts of the body, and are also connected to our emotions. NMAA integrates all aspects of the joint including the nerve, artery, bone, capsule, and ligaments, as well as visceral and emotional connections. NMAA delves into the joints like never before. It examines the nerves of each joint, along with the arteries, meniscus, ligaments, capsule attachments and folds. It incorporates soft tissue mobilization of the associated bones, while looking at direct and indirect relationships between the bones of the body. The relationship between the viscera and the joints is not widely understood. NMAA shows how interconnected they are and that without addressing this visceral connection many joint issues may not fully resolve. The application of the gentle NMAA techniques improves the body’s ability to heal and restore itself to optimal health.

关节远不止是骨骼相接之处。它由多种成分组成——包括骨、软骨、肌肉、肌腱、神经与液体——在功能正常时，使关节平滑、无痛地滑动。若某一成分出现问题，整个关节开始代偿并功能失常，导致从短暂疼痛到更长期损伤的功能失调。身体内所有部分与系统彼此互联——关节也不例外——一处功能失调可对其他区域产生负面影响。熟练的 NMAA 从业者能够恰当评估关节与身体的相互作用，帮助恢复正常功能。

A joint is so much more complex than a place where bones come together. It is comprised of multiple components – including bone, cartilage, muscles, tendons, nerves, and fluid – that when functioning properly, allow the joint to glide smoothly and pain-free. If one component becomes problematic, the entire joint begins to compensate and not function properly. This leads to dysfunction ranging from temporary pain to longer term damage. All parts and systems within the body are interconnected – joints included – and when there is dysfunction in one place, other areas can be negatively impacted. A skilled NMAA practitioner can properly assess the interactions of the joints with the body to help restore proper function.

Testimonials

“我被诊断为髋关节关节病（arthrosis），疼痛很重。与我工作的治疗师解释说，他会为我做评估，找出我身体中失去平衡的区域。几次处理后疼痛明显减轻。我对这种深入全身联系的取向印象深刻。”

"I was diagnosed with arthrosis in my hip and I had a lot of pain. The therapist I worked with explained that he would be evaluating me to find the areas of my body that were out of balance and that could be aggravating the arthrosis. After several sessions my pain was dramatically diminished. My arthrosis may not go away, but after the Manual Articular sessions, it makes sense that with my body in better balance, the degeneration may slow down. And I am extremely grateful to have so much less pain."
