What Is MNRT (Motor Nerve Reflex Testing)?
Motor Nerve Reflex Testing (MNRT) is a groundbreaking clinical protocol that allows practitioners to uncover the true source of a patient’s pain or dysfunction—not just where it hurts, but why it hurts. Unlike conventional diagnostic tools that focus on symptoms, MNRT communicates directly with the nervous system to reveal the primary source of injury or dysfunction, enabling you to deliver precise, effective, and often life-changing treatment.
Why MNRT Training Is Essential for Accurate Diagnosis
If you’re not trained in MNRT, you may be missing the root cause of your patients’ pain. Traditional assessments often focus on the site of discomfort—but pain isn’t always where the problem is. MNRT offers a direct line of communication with the nervous system, helping you pinpoint the true source of dysfunction with accuracy and speed. Without this training, even well-meaning treatment plans can fall short—because they’re based on symptoms, not causes. This course equips you with the tools and hands-on techniques to diagnose more effectively and treat more confidently.
Stand Out in a Crowded Field
Patients have options. What sets you apart from the next provider down the street is your ability to deliver lasting results, not just temporary relief. MNRT gives you a clinical edge that most doctors don’t have. When you can identify and correct dysfunction at its source—often in just one or two sessions—your reputation grows, your outcomes improve, and your referrals increase. This isn’t just a skill; it’s a practice-transforming protocol that distinguishes great clinicians from average ones. “Absent blunt trauma, pain rarely appears at its origin. MNRT allows us to locate the real issue—even if it’s in a completely different part of the body.” — Dr. Terry Billings (video- https://vimeo.com/994381938?share=copy#t=0) Dr. Terry Billings:
- “What does it make you feel like? I’ve done 7 million crowns and 400 million fillings, but to change somebody’s life, is worth all of the money in the world.” (Video Timestamp: 1:31–3:44)
- Dr. Terry Billings shares his personal journey of undergoing treatment and how the experience deepened his understanding of its significance. He recounts traveling from New Orleans to Chicago to receive care, highlighting the transformative impact it had on his quality of life. Now, with this firsthand experience, he feels better equipped to help others and emphasizes the importance of the comprehensive treatment process.
How Does MNRT Work?
MNRT uses muscle testing and reflex response to detect dysfunctional areas by analyzing how the nervous system reacts to specific challenges or stimuli. Here’s how it works:
- Evaluation – Begin by identifying symptoms and dysfunction using a structured intake process.
- Reflex Testing – Using precise dystrophy tests to stimulate motor nerve reflexes.
- Neurological Feedback – Observe muscle response to identify stress, inhibition, or compensation patterns.
- Prioritization – Determine which area of the body the brain identifies as the top priority for intervention.
- Treatment Plan – Apply targeted therapies or refer to the appropriate specialist (orthopedic, podiatric, etc.) based on findings.
MNRT often reveals unexpected origins of dysfunction—such as a pelvic misalignment contributing to jaw pain or foot dysfunction affecting posture and TMJ. (use video of Dr. O or Kristina : doing an example of MNRT test)
Who Should Learn MNRT?
MNRT is ideal for practitioners who want to:
- Deepen their diagnostic accuracy
- Treat the cause, not the symptom
- Help patients with unresolved or complex conditions
- Integrate neuroscience-based testing into their practice
Perfect for:
-
- Dentists
- Physicians
- Chiropractors
- Physical Therapists
- Osteopaths
- Functional Medicine Providers
Whether you’re treating TMJ, facial pain, airway issues, or sleep-disordered breathing—MNRT will bring clarity to even your most complex cases.
