Springfield, Missouri · Manual therapy
A new approach to your health.
Hands-on manual therapy for pain that hasn’t let go. Chuck Renner, OTR, CHT, listens, finds where it’s coming from and helps your body reset, with more than three decades of experience and two dozen techniques.
How it works
Pain is a signal. Chuck works on the signal.
When an injury or a scare sets off the body’s protective reflexes, they can stay switched on long after the danger has passed, holding pain in place. Chuck’s work is finding that pattern and helping it settle.
- ListenEvery session starts with where you are, and where you want to go.
- Find the sourceHe looks at the whole person and how things connect, not just the spot that hurts.
- Reset and restoreHands-on techniques, chosen for you, calm the reflex, free the tissue and get you moving.
The table
Two dozen ways in. One therapist.
For twenty years Chuck has trained with medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, physical and occupational therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists and psychologists. This is the toolkit. Tap any tile.
A gentle, holistic technique that focuses on clearing blockages in the spine to restore the natural flow of energy and communication through the body. With light touch and specific protocols it helps calm the nervous system and activate the body’s own healing. Many people feel relief from pain, less stress and a better sense of well-being.
Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy on the Accu-SPINA: a precise, computer-controlled form of spinal decompression that opens the space between targeted vertebrae to ease the pain of compressed, bulging or herniated discs, in the back and neck and in the arms and legs they affect.
Pressurized CO₂ chills a small area fast enough to cause “thermal shock”, which sets off the body’s healing response: a quick, non-invasive way to ease discomfort, calm inflammation and get back to activity with no downtime.
PRRT uses the body’s reflexes to calm an over-response by the muscles, as in a muscle spasm, and to balance the musculoskeletal system. Chuck is certified to teach it.
A holistic approach to pain and inflammation that also supports healing: ANF is a 72-hour wearable device whose frequencies stimulate communication through the nervous system. Chuck is a Master Instructor for the ANF Academy.
A technique that resets the nervous system so muscles let go of excess tension and pain, often within seconds.
A method of soft-tissue management: specific instruments help break up scar tissue and muscle damage so the area can heal.
A patented soft-tissue technique for muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.
An osteopathic technique that improves musculoskeletal function by mobilizing joints and stretching tight muscles and fascia, to reduce pain and improve circulation and lymphatic flow.
A gentle, non-invasive, hands-on approach to relieving restrictions and pain around the central nervous system.
A skilled practitioner listens to the body with their hands to improve internal communication, relieving imbalance and pain.
Uses sensitivity to temperature changes to find and treat dysfunction within the body.
A manual osteopathic technique that releases musculoskeletal restrictions and can help release trapped emotions.
A method of removing the charge of trauma from the tissues and reconnecting them with the brain’s sensory-motor cortex.
Evidence-based techniques and technology that give objective, measurable ways to see improvements in physiological and behavioral functioning.
A thin filiform needle stimulates myofascial trigger points and the muscle and connective tissue beneath them, to manage neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement problems and help restore function.
A simple, hands-on treatment aimed at relieving pain, improving range of motion, easing muscle spasm and speeding healing.
An innovative, patient-centered approach to relieving pain, for weakness, pain, loss of joint motion and stiffness anywhere from the neck to the feet.
A treatment, exercise and rehabilitation method that retrains the brain to restore posture, stability and movement. Olympic and professional athletes’ programs use it.
The ability to stabilize the lower back and pelvis during complex movement, by recruiting the deep muscles of the abdomen, lower back and pelvic floor correctly.
A thin, flexible tape that aids muscle movement and is meant to relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and support joints and muscles. It was first developed to enhance athletic performance.
A specialized manual technique built on the anatomy of the lymphatic system: light tissue compression reduces swelling by helping lymph move, rerouting it into open channels. Chuck is certified in MLD and Complete Decongestive Therapy.
Some injuries need immobilizing, and a splint made for you is far better than one that is mass-produced. Custom splints come from Chuck’s years as a Certified Hand Therapist.
A repositioning maneuver medical professionals use to treat one common cause of vertigo: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
