Neuromuscular Therapy

  • WHAT IS NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY?

Neuromuscular therapy is a specialized form of deep tissue massage in which pressure and friction are used to release areas of strain in the muscle. The principle of NMT is not only to reduce and eliminate pain, but to restore proper function.

Practicing this type of trigger point therapy can help to improve muscular and postural imbalances, which allows for further reduction in pain, improved muscle balance, faster recovery and freedom from pain.

  • HOW DOES NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY WORK?

NMT seeks to eliminate pain (chronic or acute) by addressing five key elements that cause pain:

  1. Biomechanical Issues
  2. Ischemia (lack of blood flow)
  3. Trigger Points
  4. Nerve Compression/Entrapment
  5. Postural Distortions
