At Positive Health and Wellness in Amherst, NY, Dr. John Zilliox offers Trigenics® Therapy as part of a broader approach to non-invasive care, movement improvement, pain-related conditions, and functional wellness. Trigenics® is a neuro-kinetic, sensorimotor assessment, treatment, and training system designed to help improve movement, strength, flexibility, and function.
Trigenics® is a neuro-kinetic, sensorimotor assessment, treatment, and training system that combines patient participation with specific practitioner-guided movements. The system is designed to help improve movement patterns, reduce pain-related limitations, and support better neuromuscular function.
Unlike passive therapies where the patient simply lies still, Trigenics® requires active participation. The patient performs specific voluntary movements against the doctor's resistance while the practitioner applies specialized procedures. This interactive approach is part of what makes the system different from many traditional manual therapies.
Trigenics® patients are interactive participants in their own treatments, both mentally and physically. This means that with Trigenics®, results depend upon the patient engaging voluntary movements in very specific ways and directions against the doctor's resistance to generate neurological reflexes which may cause changes in brain wave patterns.
This active participation helps make treatment more dynamic. The goal is to engage the nervous system, muscles, and joints in a coordinated way so the body can respond more effectively during the session.

Trigenics® utilizes modern western medical knowledge of neurology. By using the principles of reflexogenic neurophysiology, the "hardwiring" of the patient's own body is used as an integral part of the treatment and allows for a number of other potential benefits.
Simply stated, Trigenics® procedures are designed to cause firing of spontaneous reflexes that are generated by the patient's own nervous system. This neurological component is one of the reasons Trigenics® is described as a neuro-kinetic treatment and training system.
Trigenics® is a multimodal treatment system. This means that it combines a number of different treatment techniques at the same time to gain a broader effect than might be achieved by applying only one isolated technique.
Trigenics® itself is not simply one treatment technique. It is a full-body assessment and treatment system that can be customized to the patient's movement patterns, limitations, and goals.
A Trigenics® practitioner may be able to effectively penetrate deeper into the patient's tissue than other traditional manual methods such as massage, Shiatsu, trigger point therapy, and similar approaches. The blocking of pain signals may allow the practitioner to achieve deeper penetration without the strong reactionary "jump response" commonly elicited with other therapies.

Trigenics® may be considered for patients who are experiencing movement restrictions, pain-related mobility issues, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, sports injuries, or rehabilitation-related concerns. Because treatment is customized, the best way to determine whether Trigenics® is appropriate is through a consultation and examination.
Traditional therapy may focus on stretching, strengthening, massage, mobilization, or exercise as separate techniques. Trigenics® combines multiple elements at once, including neurological reflex activation, patient movement, resistance, and practitioner-guided input.
This multimodal approach may help patients who need a more active and neurological style of treatment. It may also complement other care options offered at Positive Health and Wellness, depending on the patient's condition.
During a Trigenics® session, Dr. Zilliox will guide you through specific movements while applying resistance or practitioner-directed input. You may be asked to move in certain directions, activate certain muscles, or participate in controlled movement patterns.
Sessions are designed to be interactive, and patient participation is important. Dr. Zilliox will explain each step and determine how Trigenics® fits into your overall care plan.
Trigenics® is a neuro-kinetic, sensorimotor assessment, treatment, and training system that combines patient movement, neurological reflexes, and manual therapy concepts.
Trigenics® uses specific voluntary patient movements against practitioner resistance to help generate neurological reflexes and support changes in movement, strength, and function.
Trigenics® is described as a multimodal treatment system because it combines multiple therapeutic approaches at the same time rather than using one isolated technique.
Trigenics® may be considered for patients with movement restrictions, muscle weakness, pain-related mobility issues, joint discomfort, sports injuries, and rehabilitation-related concerns.
