Name of business: Indiana Myotherapy Clinic
Owner: Terry Huff, who is certified under the Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy program and is an exercise therapist. Huff also has been a certified nutritionist, EMT and tae kwon do trainer and is a swimmer, runner and cyclist.
Opened: 1987
Location: 1106 Meridian St., Suite 411 (Union Building), Anderson; 642-0529
Hours: By appointment only. Huff has committed more time in the last year to his myotherapy practice after retiring from the city in 2008.
Employees: None
Services: Myotherapy involves putting pressure on “trigger points,” or microtraumas in the muscles, to repair them and treat chronic and acute pain. Huff was certified under Bonnie Prudden, who started much of the fitness movement in the United States in the 1940s. Prudden also created the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, was named into the National Fitness Hall of Fame and has some of her materials in the Smithsonian Institution. Huff said trigger points are damaged areas caused by events that could have happened earlier in life. Huff can work with people with conditions such as carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, migraines and other pain. “I work with people from all walks of life with all different types of maladies,” he said.
In the owner’s words: An appointment with Huff would involve going over a patient’s history of pain to determine what areas need worked. Then, Huff spends a 60-minute session applying pressure on the patient’s trigger points and stretching their muscles. He ends by giving patients exercises to do on their own time. “A lot of pain that people have they think is related to a lot of structural problems in their bodies, and all the while it’s caused by these trigger points,” he said.
