Advanced Muscle Integration Technique
Pain is protection.
What is your body trying to protect?
Whether your pain started yesterday or years ago, your body is protecting something. AMIT looks at function first — we test how your muscles work together, find where the system is breaking down, and restore normal function so your body can stop compensating.

Why pain keeps coming back
It’s never just the muscle that hurts.
When one muscle stops doing its job, others begin to compensate — taking on work they were never designed to handle.
Over time, that compensation creates overload, irritation, and eventually pain. That pain is usually the last sign that something’s wrong — and it’s often what finally gets your attention.
Treat only where it hurts, and you miss the dysfunction that started the whole pattern. AMIT looks at function first — finding the muscles that aren’t firing, and restoring the system underneath the pain.
1
A muscle becomes inhibited
It stops firing the way it should — often silently.
2
Other muscles compensate
Neighbors take on load they were not built for.
3
The system overloads
Joints lose support; patterns break down.
4
Pain finally shows up
The warning light — not the root cause.
One connected system
Your body is a network.
640
muscles
Every one of them talks to the others. When even a few go quiet, the whole chain compensates. That’s why AMIT tests your muscles head to toe — not just where it hurts — and why a single visit is only the beginning.
The AMIT difference
Predict. Prevent. Restore.
Pain is often the last sign that something isn’t working. We don’t just chase it — we find where the breakdown is happening, before it becomes your next injury.
1
Map the problem
Predict
A full-body exam maps how your muscles communicate and where you’re compensating — including the weak links that could become your next injury.
→
2
Stop the cycle
Prevent
We keep your body from overloading the same patterns, so small dysfunctions don’t turn into the next tear, strain, or surgery.
→
3
Rebuild function
Restore
We reactivate the inhibited muscles your exam finds, restoring better function so you move, heal, and perform with confidence.
Your care is a plan, not a one-off
Real restoration is a process — built around what your exam finds.
If we typically find 20+ inhibited muscles, one visit can’t undo years of compensation. Your first exam maps the full picture; then we build a plan to reactivate those muscles in the right order — so the results actually hold.
1
Full-body exam
We test your muscles head to toe and map every inhibited one — plus a toggle adjustment to prime the system.
2
Your plan
We review exactly what we found and build a restoration plan scoped to your body — no one-size-fits-all.
3
Reactivate
Across a focused series of visits, we reactivate the inhibited muscles so your body stops compensating.
4
Restore & maintain
Function returns, pain settles, and we keep the weak links from becoming your next injury.
Most patients fall into one of four restoration plans
Your exam determines the scope. The more compensation we find, the more complete the plan — each one builds on the last.

The method behind the results
Proven on elite athletes. Delivered to everyone.
Dr. Craig Buhler
Creator of the Advanced Muscle Integration Technique
AMIT was refined by Dr. Craig Buhler across 24 years as physician to the NBA’s Utah Jazz, where the goal was simple: find the weak links before they became injuries. Today that same full-body method is delivered by our doctors in Draper and Kaysville — to pro athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone who just wants to move without pain.

Before you book
Questions patients ask first.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on what your exam finds — AMIT is never one-size-fits-all. On your first visit we test how your muscles are functioning, identify the inhibited ones, and build a plan around what your body needs restored. Some patients need a focused series; others have more compensation patterns that take more time to work through.
Will I feel a difference right away?
Most patients feel a functional difference during the first visit — often in range of motion, stability, and how the body moves. AMIT restores muscle function first, because function must return for healing to take place before pain fully goes away.
Is AMIT painful?
AMIT isn’t painful, though some reflex points may feel tender at first. That tenderness helps us identify where your body is holding stress or compensation, and it eases as the muscle responds. Most patients describe it as “good discomfort” — noticeable, but purposeful.
Why is this different from chiropractic and PT?
When muscles stop doing their job, joints lose support. AMIT is designed to find those inhibited muscles and restore function, so your joints are supported and healing has a stronger foundation.
