01

High Velocity Low Amplitude (HVLA) Adjustments

Our skilled practitioners perform precise HVLA adjustments on specific joints, which stimulates the golgi tendon organs (GTOs) and leads to muscle relaxation and increased range of motion.

02

Nervous System
Stimulation

VSMT goes beyond addressing individual joints—it also has a profound impact on your pet’s nervous system. The HVLA adjustments stimulate large diameter alpha fibers, decreasing pain perception and activating the cortex and brainstem.

03

Joint Receptor
Communication

Our joints contain numerous receptors that communicate with the brain, providing information on limb positioning and movement. VSMT utilizes this complex communication system to influence the nervous system and benefit the joint itself.

04

Improved Gait
and Movement

Through targeted adjustments, VSMT can significantly enhance your pet’s gait and overall movement, contributing to a more active and comfortable lifestyle.

05

Reduced
Discomfort

By addressing joint health and nervous system function, VSMT can effectively alleviate your pet’s pain and discomfort, promoting a better quality of life.

06

Enhanced
Body Awareness

VSMT helps improve your pet’s body awareness by stimulating various receptors such as pressure receptors, muscle spindle cells, and GTOs, resulting in better coordination and balance.
